Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by Mido 
Although it's difficult to ignore the obvious best albums, i became a bit bored reviewing the same albums over and over again. I asked to enable more then one list per person. I usually look at any "new" list to find something new. Fortunately I found some good albums but not much. So I decided to make a list of 50 albums which are maybe not the best but certainly quite good and are all very pleasant to listen to. So ones in a while i think i'll renew the list with other beautiful music and albums. So this time it became 50 women worth checking out.

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 79.8/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 20.2.
