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 86.9/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

A few albums for me to check out ~ overall, a really cool chart. Nice to see the singer/songwriters like Ray LaMontagne, Nick Drake, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan & Damien Rice in the chart with multiple entries.
Nice chart

Nice list. Although I'm a huge fan of both The Beatles and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, I like that you put the blues album first. That says a lot about following your own instincts.

Like your channel, like your choices. I'll listen to The Paul Butterfield debut later today.
A lot of great stuff here. Nice to see Ray LaMontagne as well.
CharlieBarley 10/09/2018 22:34
Just checking out Paul Butterfield BB right now. Is pretty awesome. Many of my favourite artists here: Stevie Wonder, Beatles, Floyd, Hendrix, Stones, Led Zep, Pearl Jam, Radiohead. Great to see Travis. And good to see a worship album. Liking the vast majority of your choices man. A decent chart.
LedZep 05/26/2017 22:24
Band of Gypsys is a really cool choice!
Tumbleweed Connection, and the Butterfield Blues Band in the top ten, very interesting. Cool chart.
Nice chart.
Interesting chart on which I agree in many aspects. I don't know some other albums like your rank 1 so maybe some comments on your choices would be nice.
