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 86.2/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.2.

Solid chart, even though it is a bit Radiohead heavy (and that's coming from a HUGE Radiohead fan).

great list.
your top 30 are true powerhouses!
for me, its surprising to see members who have a passion for classic rock (led zeppelin, pink floyd, etc..)
also enjoy rap (kanye west, lamar). i have seen other members who enjoy kanye west. i'm going to give
it a spin.
thanks for sharing your list.
