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 78.7/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 21.1.

Really love The Smiths, but mostly love your inclusion of Sam Cooke a great singer and very good album

Rift was great to see on here, and 2112 is my favourite Rush album. Obviously a taste of your own.

Great to see Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but they're both leagues better than Morrissey.

I like the list and your original selections. I used to have Hum's Downward Is Heavenward on mine. Same with the Dolls. Iron Maiden and the Cult are awesome too.
Any chart that includes Vauxhall and I and Piece of Mind is alright by me!

Increible Chart
not a bad chart, but i haven't heard enough of these for a rating. btw i finished my 50
Mr. Shankly 08/16/2010 03:59
Some unique picks here. Personally, I never cared much for Morrissey after the Smiths with the exception of his first solo album, but I'm probably unusual that way. Welcome to the site, JF.

LIKE THAT YOU HAVE "LOUDER THAN BOMBS' ON YOUR CHART..IT IS THE SMITHS ALBUM THAT I LISTEN TO THE MOST....AND OF COURSE "VAUXHALL AND I" WHICH IS SO GREAT...IT WAS ON MY CHART FOR AWHILE.
Freddie55 08/13/2010 03:00
I like almost all of the selections which I know but I haven't listened to 19 of the 50 albums on your chart. I will have to do some homework before giving it a rating.
