Top 76 Greatest Music Albums
by 
MLou 
Hi everyone!
You should know that I started listening to music in a serious way a few years ago, then this is just the beginning. My goal is to make this list more interesting and varied, but always respecting my personal musical tastes. So if you find that there are too many albums by a particular artist, it's also because I love that artist. ;)
Thanks for being here.

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 is rated in the top 16% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.4/100, a mean average of 86.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.3.

Hits a lot of categories and classics. Good mix of rock and ambient. Some of the newer 2015 albums maybe need some rebalancing

Cool list. You should really listen to Anathema, Van der Graaf Generator, Yes, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Tool, etc... In the court of the crimson King is also one of my 3 favorites. Check my list if you can!

I just enter this chart again by chance, and I realized that you made one of the best top 5 that i've ever seen. Really. It is perfect. Of course, you did this besides doing an incredible chart. Full of classics, but very original. Im not going to rate 100/100 because there are a few albums wich i havent listened to. Really amazing, expand!!!
