Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by haleyyew 
Here's a list of albums that I like so far, I'll try to dig up more though. Recently I've been modifying this chart, as a result, a maximum of two albums per band appears except my favourite band Led Zeppelin. My taste also changed dramatically, therefore some albums' rankings were modified. The top albums on this chart are the most mesmerizing masterworks.

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 85.1/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

I like SOAD inclusion in top 10, don't see enough of them on BEA!
buzzdainer 02/12/2016 19:20
If you're going to start your list with Blonde on Blonde, I'm on board.
Love your comments brilliant list
Very solid choices, especially the top 10!
Quality music throughout! I don't see a single bad album here.

A unique take on some slam-dunk selections... Some odd choices, but overall this is pretty good.

Great list, feloow Canuck! We have a fair bit in common, although I think your list is a bit short on our awesome Canadian music.
An eerily similar list. I'd love to see your thoughts on the albums. Only five I don't own. A perfect top ten. The bottom thirty or as excellent as the first. A first rate list. Thank you!
Nice list of albums, we share alot in common :)

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
