Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
Liedzeit 
Lots of Seventies, I know. I cannot help it. Homer Simpson Syndrome ("Rock attained perfection in 1974"). I was only 20 when the Eighties began, but for me Music basically died then. It is pathetic. I tried to keep an open mind, though. Honest.

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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Perhaps the most honest chart I've come across on this site ~ no peer pressure here! Although not in my top 100, I really love seeing Karla Bonoff & (Australia's own) Gary Shearston in this chart.
Really nice chart
StefanR10 06/06/2020 11:51
Gute Top 100 mit richtig guten Alben ein paar sind mir unbekannt. Aber du hast auch Klassiker hier drin. Darum gibt es 85 Punkte. Und gut ist dass du auch Tame Impala hier hast.
Very jingly and swell
I totally agree with you that music went downhill rapidly after the 70's, but my taste is completely different to yours. 60's & 70's are by far the best decades for music.
Good chart!
love ummagumma
love the wall too
LedZep 10/14/2018 13:51
Such a great chart! Siouxsie And The Banshees, Nico and Sparks in top 10 are my favourite picks here. Also Comes a Time as favourite Neil Young record? That's pretty cool
ForegroundNoise 10/14/2018 09:01
Not really my thing and like you say I think there’s a tad too much focus on the 70s, but really like your notes and eclecticism!!
very nice chart !!
