Top 50 Greatest Music Albums

These are the records I've listened to the most, in order. I guess you could say that my basic criteria is if I would want to listen to that record again. It's all very personal.

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 77.8/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 21.7.

Lately I've been hesitant to give honest ratings to charts that I do not like. There seems to be a bug going around that causes people to retaliate by countering low ratings with low ratings, just for the sake of revenge. That is why I feel the need to explain myself here. It would be dishonest of me to rate this chart higher. Having said that, only an interesting person could produce this chart, and I respect the originality very much - it just doesn't suit me.

Tortoise= Play history is evenly disbursed throughout the discography. Hare= focused on a single record or two, then losing steam/interest with the other material.

Wow. It is like a random sampling of my local charity shops. That is not a criticism. Your chart is just so varied in styles and genres. I like it. I don't like all of your chart, but like those charity shops there are some wonderful records tucked away in it, if you can only be bothered to look.

12/16 update: I chopped off the bottom 60 out of politeness when I saw that level 2 users (which I am) are allowed only a 40 album chart.
Hopefully it will help me analyze what my top choices are composed of. Not sure yet if it makes my chart look more or less eclectic,
