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 84.4/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

Good chart. I like that you have here the beatles but you have much Alice in Chains and Genesis. Maybe you can make your chart more diversive. Maybe 1 Album per Artist.

I have to say that while I do not share your love of Genesis (they seem an unlikely band to have albums in your chart given your other picks)there is a lot of good stuff here. Can't argue too much with 21 picks in common.

Good chart however far too many Genesis and alice in chains albums for me. Not much diversity in the artists either.

15/50 in common and a interesting range from pop to prog to classic to metallic. Good to see Wind and Wuthering pretty high on the list but too much heavy metallic stuff for my personal liking. Good though.

Really nice chart. I would like some more variety in artists here and there though.
