Top 30 Greatest Music Albums
by pinkfloyd! 
The first 25 are the cream of the crop, albums I can't stop listening to.
The rest is albums that I think are very underrated on this site.

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 82.1/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.4.

Ah man I love LCD Soundsystem. Probably one of the best artist from the '00s. Find another dance-punk artist that can groove like James Murphy.
Nice chart you have BTW.
