You BEAutiful People! Top Recs From Other Members by Jimmy Dread

i doubt I would have discovered any of these wonderful records without BEA. Bless up.

I get some lovely comments every now and then from people who have ended up discovering, listening to and loving a record I've featured, mentioned or name-dropped their way. Well, it's time to repay the kudos. Below is a list of albums discovered thanks to members on this site (naturally in order of preference), along with those amazing souls who put me in touch with it in the first place.

It's been a little dry for updates of late as I've been off on my own musical voyage away from the good ship BEA (plus plug.dj - previously the best source of finding out about some of these - seems to have bitten the dust), but since this chart was conceived and first compiled I've managed to pick up about 80-85 of these to expand the record collection. So thanks all for making my wallet a little lighter over the years, and here's to the next discovery (whenever that may be).... Jimmy, January 2021

TOP 100! Via 'Mindmovie' (or whatever name Borve's going by these days). This was on one of those threads where you recommend an album and someone picks one from your chart, etc. etc. Anyway, don't know why I picked this from MM's chart, but so glad I did. Cosmic Gallic psych par excellance - and now firmly established in my All-Time 100. [First added to this chart: 09/24/2014]

Via Meccalecca. Seeing as I was Jonny's co-captain for the (still at time of writing yet to conclude) BYT it was surprising how many LPs he picked that I'd never heard of. Such as this, mutant French hi-NRG disco which after hearing for the first time I couldn't get out of my head. Picked it up on vinyl eventually at Devon's coolest record shop, Drift in Totnes.

Via Norman Bates. J'adore ce disque, and only fitting that Norm's highest entry in this chart is some French folk chanteuse whose wonderful record taps into both my folkie heart and love of all things Gallic. Merci beaucoup, mon ami. [First added to this chart: 01/19/2016]

Via Pa. As a self-confessed Francophile there's a few records in this list that have come as a direct result of Norm spinning a track or two in Plug/dubtrack. Well, on this occasion it was an Italian with a soul of pure gold to play the wonderful 'Saperlipopette' that piqued my interest enough to make me rush off and download this compy at the earliest opportunity.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 94.8/100, a mean average of 96.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 97.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.4.

Not sure if you were the first to come up with this idea but it doesn't matter; this chart is everything I love about the online music community summed up in 100 albums.

Yeah, that was probably me, as it seems I'm the only one to have mentioned it in more than a cursory way on the forums. Glad you liked it :)

A very nice surprise seeing your chart! You've given me lots of new artists to hear. Thank you for that. It's a great idea, as well, making a chart celebrating the friends on BEA that exposed you to the new music. Saved your chart as a Fave.
