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 75.5/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.7.

While many on this site would find my tastes stodgy and boring, from the perspective of a pop/rock fan, this is, as one ranker mentioned, about as good as professional lists get. My only problem with it is that they on one hand put three of VU's albums, and on the other left out the best of their albums.
Barely a pass. I think they forgot that there is music (great music) being produced south of the equator.
All chart is Ridicolous ...Ahahah
The Dark Side of the moon in 84º??? ahahahah

About as good as major publication lists get

"music began to die in the 80s and by the end of the 2000s it was on life support with an echo of a heartbeat. By 2010s it was dead". Said a bunch of old men who wrote a magazine.
It suits the publication: safe, boring yet not really much to disagree with

Too biased. Don't get me wrong the selection is generally really good but.... meh. Not enough variety and kind of obvious the age group of whoever constructed this list.
Once again, these boomer lists would have you believe that music peaked in the 1970s (and late 60s). Not enough jazz... :( On the plus side they included 3 VU records! I freaking LOVE those velvets..

A decent list for a magazine.
Clearly more thought put into this than a lot of the populist-kinda charts out there.
