Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by experiencemusic

If you've made an albums chart for yourself, then you know how difficult it is to judge your favorite musical works against one another. I will continue modifying my chart to reflect ever changing musical tastes. The top ten albums are interchangeable since choosing a favorite album feels impossible. I hope you may discover and enjoy new music from looking at my albums chart.

NOTE:
1. I've excluded compilation, live, and soundtrack albums from the chart.
2. I'm using the one album per artist rule to give the chart a bit more diversity.
3. I've decided to exclude albums that are less than 20 years old to make things easier.

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 86.3/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.9.

Nice enough chart given the rules you have imposed on constructing the chart. Would like to see how your chart develops once you have added #51 - #100.

Great chart! I especially love your top 10! Personally, I'm not a huge Beach Boys fan, but I can appreciate it! ^^
Also love that you included Metric too!
