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 87.1/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.2.

Un chart bastante curioso, no he escuchado el 80% de esos discos, pero me sorprendió ver esa joya infravalorada de U2, Pop, en el Top 10, también es agradable ver The Dreaming de Kate Bush entre el top. (Edited)

That's what I call an eccentric chart. Great variation, no pandering and honestly props for some of these (U2's Pop). I hope to see a few descriptions in the future. (Edited)

Me gustó tu lista pero tengo la duda de si no crees que ningun disco en español merece un top 100 ?

Muchos discos a los que no les he entrado: habrá que irlos revisando de a poco. Creo que sí está muy cargada a los 80s y 90s, pero le pasa a todos. La mía se mueve entre los 90s (donde hay varias coincidencias) y los 2000s.
