Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by jnelson 
Still working through my collection to see what I am missing. I am sticking with 1 album per band, if not then it would likely be a list of my favorite Pink Floyd / Tool releases.

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 82.4/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.
