Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
LedZep 
So, this is the first update since 2018, and even then the chart was a few years behind on what I was listening to.
This is basically just some cool music I've been listening to lately, both the all-time favourites and some enjoyable new/old discoveries (which explains the number of 2020s albums, I guess). Loose order and a very unofficial chart, will be updated whenever I feel like it. That being said, I love and would strongly recommend everything listed here.

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 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.3.

Even though it's a placeholder now, this chart is still full of awesome stuff as well as tons I haven't heard. Will certainly have to check out a few!
RoundTheBend 02/04/2020 05:58
U2 was also my first real concert. I clearly haven't "grown out of them" ;).
EyeKanFly 01/24/2020 01:37
Damn, I like this chart! Very well thought out, great comments. I'll have to check out some of those Croatian albums

Usually lots of rock classics raise a small red flag for me, but only if it's evident that the chart maker is ignorant. You seem to be aware of that, but you embrace it. This chart has an admirable passion shining right through, so I think it's perfectly fine to have such a bias, we all do for certain types of music. Keep on doing what you're doing! Lovely chart!
not my favorite Zeppelin album, but a true classic nonetheless
This, friends, is how a chart should be done. Amazing variety, fascinating comments. Well thought out. I don't agree with all the selections, but so what? We are all entitled to our opinions. Great chart!!

Great chart! Nice foreign records
TerryTezza 06/26/2019 23:07
A great mixture of albums featuring heavy guitar. you have inspired me to put comments on my chart. Well done!
FunkyStudent21 06/13/2019 23:05
Thanks for the chart rating, thought I'd return the favour. I don't have any Croatian music in my library so I'm definitely gonna check out some of these albums

Descriptions, taste, selections, influence... 10/10. This is one of my favorite charts on this site.
