Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by Matoro183 
This should not really be taken as a "greatest ever" chart, as I have not listened to every album ever released. However, I have to tried to represent here the best of those albums that I have heard. Naturally, there are many albums missing.

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 83.7/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.1.

This is a pretty sweet list.
dfulfo01 02/19/2012 04:02
very nice chart. check out parallax by atlas sound i think you'll really like it
The chart really starts kicking in to gear around #20. Anyone who ranks John Wesley Harding in the top ten is all right by me. I'd love to see the extended list. Good commentary. Keep up the good work.
Also,I must say,I freaking love your chart,You and I have similar tastes !!
Why do you disagree ? :)

Ok start but you're missing a LOT of great albums from that time frame....Neon Bible higher than OK Computer or the myriad of albums that are better than it

It's a good start. The past 15 years have been represented nicely. Sow, go forth and listen to the artists and works that inspired those on your list. I'll swing back around later and see it again soon.
