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 83.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

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

Far too much Beatles & Genesis for my liking but other choices are some of my fav albums of all time. I was going to give you my average rating of 75 but then I saw Phil Collins & you've just got to lose some points for that, sorry. Still a decent charge though.

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.

Awesome list. We have a lot in common. The Beatles, Floyd, Genesis (nice to see TLLDOB in your top 10!), Zeppelin, Blur. I like Queen and U2 too though they are missing from my top 50 list.
