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?
bobbyb5 06/05/2017 04:21 | #192036
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.
Impressive that 4 of your top 5 are on my list as well. Would love to see what your next 20 might be
Diverse and strong output. 5thbeatle talking ars*. Love the variation and unpredictability. Too many sheep making BEA charts.

Kinda weird choices.
diverse but weak output.
I preferred the second 10 to the fist 10.

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.

I love the diversity of this list
