Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by conallmalone

Realised this is getting very outdated, so time to update. Hopefully it will be a lot more accurate in the coming weeks, I know music tastes and feelings about albums change all the time but as close as.
Gonna stick to 1 album per artist as it will get way too crowded with my favourite artists fast, other recommended albums in the comment that may have made the list.

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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.9/100, a mean average of 90.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.2.

Great choices overall!
P.s. It looks like (judging by your favourite songs from the entry for the album) you put in the wrong Arctic Monkeys album as all the songs you listed are from the album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not".

Don't mind the 1 album/artist rule, although the list seems too US-centric for my liking. I do have a soft spot for LZIII, so a real treat to see it at #3.

Sick list. 40 artists in common.

edit: I changed my rating to 100 now that you made it 1 album per artist. Great choices again, and the variation makes it even better.

Nice rocking chart. Pure and simple. Love the system, it pays homage to all great albums by an artist while making space for 100 bands
