Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by metalsabatico 
I grew up as a metalhead. I've been listening to new music in the last couple of years. I like concept albums too.
These are my favorite albums. Not claiming they are the best ones. I can't really put all these albums in an specific order, so don't be so critical about that. Still working on it.
Music suggestions are well received. Favorite bands: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Tool, Arcade Fire, Metallica, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.

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 81.0/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.8.

Very good choices indeed

Some truly great albums in there.
Don't know about anyone else, but I don't think greatest hit albums are good to put on a chart, or else people would just have best of albums of their favorite bands at the top of their charts.
This is a good chart. Definitely got alot of classic choices in there and I really enjoy your last page where you have more diversity in your choices
Ya know Porcupine Tree or Opeth ?

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 :(
