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 80.4/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.0.

Really like KW's Man-Machine. Don't know if its my favorite but probably it is :D
Really like this Eno's Before and After Science. There was a time when it surpassed my taste for Another Green World. But is has regained its strong first position :)
Never heard of My Drug Hell. What is it?

I saw The Man Machine at #1 (its MY #2) and automatically decided to give u a 100. But thats not right. Lol. But your other picks are pretty good too, with the exception of Prince, so that averages out to about a 90. Lol.

Decent chart even if you have way too much regard for nick drake. not worth the 90's you're getting from the Snoot Patrol, though.
