Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 
srogers900 
This is a work in progress chart. It will ever be changing as I listen to more music/ change my opinion on things that I have listened to. Once I think like I have nothing else to change, I will change these notes and say its finished. Which will be never. Be sure to checkout my Custom Charts, where my 101-200 best ever albums are, and even 201-300 as I add new albums that I have evaluated/recently listened to my chart. I'm up to over 750 albums total as of 2/5/2024.

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 89.6/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

I´ve not yet seen a chart mixing so many 70`s rock albums with 2000`s Hip Hop picks...
Why not.
Good choices anyway.
