Top 60 Greatest Music Albums by viktorretoft

This is probably more of a personal favorites list, but anyway you put it, it's always pretty hard to be objective on music, but this fine collection of albums are the best I have listened to by far. I am only 16 years old, and grew up in the 2000's, some that's why I have alot of newer stuff, because that stuff is exactly what there touches my generation, and ofcourse I love those records too.

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 84.8/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.8.

Every chart should have comments for each entry. It makes the chart more informative. Solid chart.

From Mr November 12/20/2011 06:58

Wow, you must have listened to a staggering amount of music in your 16 years to come up with a chart with this diversity. There's older albums here that I've never got round to listening to in 37 years (Bowie's Low for example.)
I do like Joy Division but I have the Heart & Soul boxset so it's difficult to seperate into individual albums mentally. I've always preferred New Order, I grew up with my brother playing Substance a lot and it always stuck with me.
