Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.2/100, a mean average of 86.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.6.

I greatly appreciate your inclusion of classics such as Grace, The La's, Carl Wheels on a Gravel Road, and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on this chart. I also think your selection of Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance for your #1 pick is a really interesting one, as it boils down a lot of what was great about the nineties: grunge, yes, but also a stripping down to the essentials of great songwriting and performing. To me that's what the best of the nineties was all about. Excellent work on this chart!

Oh my god, @ the people in the comments: not everyone likes Radiohead, stop trying to make every chart on this site a duplicate of another.
Anyway, I like the chart. It starts off with some really weird picks, some stuff I really need to ckeck. And I see some variation, that’s great.

Yep, Mestre Ambrósio are the shit. All their three studio albums are fantastic if you haven't listened. You should also check out some of Siba's later stuff, he's one of the brightest figures in mpb over the last couple of decades imo.
Great chart btw, I always apreciate the huge variety in all of your charts.
