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 76.8/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.0.

75/100

From CA Dreamin 11/14/2014 04:53

It takes a lot of nerve to have all these classics, yet not one Beatles album. I like and dislike that about your chart. Not enough modern albums for my taste, but at least you're honest. And if you're gonna like only a couple post-2000 bands, at least The White Stripes is one of them.

Good choices but not enough soul music.

Can't deny that you've picked some classics there. Maybe a few newer albums wouldn't go a miss but great list.

quality list. perhaps a little one dimensional for my liking, but it is nevertheless a good dimension.
