We're like a wishing well
And a bolt of electricity
But we can still support each other
All we gotta do is avoid each other
Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key

I wish I could lay down beside you when the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known, you disappear one day
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away [First added to this chart: 03/15/2016]

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 is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.5/100, a mean average of 90.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Lots of familiar picks, love the inclusion of lyrics for (almost) all the albums! Your favourite records from this decade are, unconventional to say the least, I adore 'The Idler Wheel', though not sure about the others... will have to check them out
