Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 
Vaggelis 
In any charts that I upload, the first ten or about twenty, perfectly represents my preferences and will hardly make changes there. Are these discs that I love and will continue to love a LIFETIME !!!
Big or small masterpieces for my own ears that do not deserve anything less than the top ten, or about twenty!
The next album in my ranking of his own charts are mixed and not have any particular order! Everything means something to me and sees no need to enter a numerical series from 21 to 80 or 100 for example! Do not matter anyway ...!!

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 86.6/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.7.

Good chart! Many classics in an interesting order. Also, it is very original, as you did a good variety of music. However, I dont like at all the predominance of the 80' in the chart, as i think it is the worst decade of the music, in general terms. And this logically reduces the rating. Anyway, it is a nice chart

Love to see Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Supertramp or Archive so high on the charts. Please include some comments, it would help users like me who don't know some of the albums to decide to listen to them or not.
