Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Tobias273 
My favorite Albums. I'm aware that there's alot of Genesis and Pink Floyd in here and in general alot of progressive rock.
Edit: I'm trying to edit this over the next days or so hopefully. Maybe make it will become a tiny bit more diverse, I'll try.

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 18% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Love seeing Future Days so high. There's nothing wrong with being such a prog rock fan! I'm impressed by your knowledge of the genre and I'll be coming here for recommendations next time I feel like listening to that kind of music.
Great list, would be worthwile to listen to some of the Canterbury scene
Good list. I enjoy the majority of your choices was surprised by a couple I am not familiar with but will definitely check them out now.

Viel Pink Floyd und Peter Gabriel-ära-Genesis in den Top 10. Sehr gut. :)

Those are good prog rock bands! Thanks for specifying.
Nice prog albums and 5 points extra for Los Jaivas!
nice to see some Moody Blues on a list
but no 'To our Children Childrens Children' though?
some prog diamonds are included here !!
Nine records in your top 10 are among the first albums I bought in my youth. Sweet memories...

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
