Top 100 time!!!!!
Updated massively as my tastes have evolved extensively over these past 4 years (much of which I ignored this site). I can't change my username, even though I really want to, it's embarrassing how much of a Pink Floyd fan-boy I used to be.

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 86.6/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Very interesting picks here. Some not too common to the site, and the ones that are are generally very respectable. Keep it up!

This list is gold, less artist repeats and it would be perfect/one of my favorites on this site.

Love your chart just for the fourth spot of Transformer and the inclusion of Maggot Brain. But actually the whole list is great.

Nice diversity. Was going to give you a 90 but upped it to 95 because of New Day Rising in the top 10.
