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 80.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.7.

You have many generic indie charts on this site, but having a classic rock chart also doesn't really have that 'eccentric' impact. Of course, it's all your taste and I respect it.

Plenty of classics, and I like some of the abnormal picks here (do I spy Steven Wilson down there?)
Also, Innuendo's great, and I'm glad to see it so high up!

It's not bad for a start - but it's in desperate need of some diversifying. Folk, Jazz, Blues, Noise, Soul, Punk. Live a little.

well, I listen other genres too, some electro and some pop of good quality, blues etc. Anyway Radiohead are in my listening plans for the future. In any case my soul is rock, i can't do anything about!!

I have a big weakness for Queen too (my first favourite band), but I can't stand their discography from News of the World to Miracle. Innuendo is at the level of their first albums though.
Good to see now some Banco albums. Try give a listen to Io Sono Nato Libero - their masterpiece I think, and one of the mastepieces of Italian prog with Area's Arbeit Macht Frei.

Miracle now is 11th! XD
I know I have a weakness for Queen, in any case i think The Miracle contains some great pieces and i think the last albums of Queen (Innuendo too) return to a higher lever than albums of 80s
