Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by badseed

Update on 6/15/20 for the first time since 5/16/19. Honestly after glancing at my chart I decided to just start fresh by putting it all in the trash bin so I don't let it influence the list I've been working on for a couple weeks. Should be interesting to see the major changes.

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 92.9/100, a mean average of 93.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.2.

This is the kind of chart I love to see! So many great albums. Was a really good flow. I'm excited to look up some of these albums that I've missed.

God I love so many of these albums. Great to see Desertshore and Hex among more established classics. Some notes would perfect this for me!

So I guess outside of the 80s each decade keeps getting progressively worse for you, at least on your chart, haha...

Wonderful. Someone that seems to like Nick even more than me. Thought that was impossible. And The same favourite album.

Wonder about "Nuff Said" with Nina Simone. Listened to it?

I saw someone use the word eclectic and that description suits this chart perfectly. Jazz, electronic, hip hop, indy, alt rock, post rock, folk, classic rock, punk, death metal/metal, psych pop, prog, R&B/Motown. I couldn't possibly connect that deeply with each genre as I have too many albums that I feel are masterpieces in my favourite few genres. But it's charts like this that demonstrate a broad love of music and I commend that. Loving the Cave and Burial respect too.Would love some comments on your choices.

As soon as I saw your name I knew it was going to be a great chart. I wouldn't say Skeleton Tree is his best, but that doesn't matter too much
