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 79.0/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.8.

You like your prog, no issues from me. Some great albums on your list. Only complaint is maybe too much Genesis and related solo works.
LedZep 01/29/2018 23:20
Try Metallica's ...And Justice For All if you haven't already, it may be appealing to you inner progger.
sssvnnn 05/02/2014 23:04
Good prog Chart - please expand.
sageamagoo 04/15/2013 12:47
Loving the prog! Especially Yes' debut- that album doesn't get enough praise.
Jasonconfused 11/26/2012 04:48
But do you like Genesis and Yes?
Not that they aren't good albums, just that it's missing a lot of great albums.
Some might complain your chart is way too heavy including 13 Genesis related albums. But I love them so it's ok by me.
You ignore the punk. Still, you're respectable.
Hard to rate this Kev as I'm only familiar with about 90% of your chart but I know you've got decent taste so have an 80 on me.
