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 83.7/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.0.

Btw i was the first person here who had the Sound in the chart! Lovely chart and yes i believe english post/punk is more superior. Mixing jazz and rock is always lil bit dangerous, you are missing alot of GREAT jazz albums.

From cartoken 10/27/2010 21:48

commercial or not those albums are my favorite right now, and i definitely prefer the music of the last 20 years, because it's simply my decades (i'm 26) and i don't think that there have been better music in the 60s/70s than in the 90s/00s ... far from that.

Anyway, i've only listened to the The Chameleons from the bands you've mentioned as "influential", and i liked a lot Script of The Bridge, so i'm going to explore more their discography soon.

Yea, I was hoping for a Top 100, at least. I haven't heard of The Dodos or Beirut, so I'll check them out. But the lesser know works I meant are by The Comsat Angels and The Sound, who both took the music of Joy Division to new heights (as well as The Chameleons, of course).
