Neil Young is for me King of Rock and Folk! Maximum respect for this unique artist in history. I remember his epic GIG in Rock in Rio III in 2001, a true catharsis in the form of Rock n'Roll. Neil is the true definition of an authentic artist.

Perspiration, inspiration and emotion in a memorable concert. I have a copy on vinyl and I always put it on at certain exciting times in my life.

Great live intimate jazz trio. LaFaro (Bass) truly dominates this session.

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 is rated in the top 12% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.7/100, a mean average of 88.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.3.

Great stuff, gotta listen to some of the Brazilian choices.! I know like 5 Brazilian albums here and in general it feels like I've barely scratched the surface of country's rich musical history.

I'd agree with moondance but I'm assuming that that's because your chart is, as you say, still under construction. Even as it is, really interesting and diverse chart. looking forward to coming back once it's finish (although, let's face it, no chart is ever completely finished!!!!!!)

The first 40 albums, along with the comments are fantastic. So unique, so interesting ~ 95/100 territory. But from about 44 onwards, the charts seems to loose coherence, the album choices seem odd (compared to what came before) and feels like it has been chucked together. Sorry if that's not the case, but that is how it feels to me.

Excelente chart! Assim como vc, tentei fazer uma lista apenas com uma entrada por artista. É claro que a dificuldade aumenta, pois diminui o numero de possibilidades na lista. Sempre imagino que uma das razões em fazer uma lista é indicar novos discos e artistas as pessoas, por isso limito a entrada de cada artista a um disco
Outros pontos semelhantes são a grande concentração de discos nas décadas de 60 e 70, além de 26 artistas em comum. O que não é de espantar, visto que não repetimos artistas, mas, temos apenas 4 álbuns em comum.
Pessoalmente, tenho minhas preferecias: gosto mais de In a Silent Way, do que o Files...; Vivendo e Não Aprendendo, ou Os Meninos da Rua Paulo do que Psicoacústica, Sticky Fingers, ou invés de Exlie... Enfim, apenas questão de gosto. E além de tudo, ainda há comentários em cada disco! Um dos melhores charts que já vi
Dê uma olhada no meu chart, principalmente aquele das décadas. Nesses, só inseri artistas brazucas
