Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by Patman360

100 decent albums as recommended by an Irish geologist. Order is loose and subject to mood changes. Comments may or may not make any sense, sway from side to side or travel in a full 360 degrees, who knows? Not me anyway. Enjoy!

"Sunshine in Chicago makes me sad,
My band played here a lot in the nineties when we had,
A lot of female fans and fuck they all were cute,
Now I just sign posters for guys in tennis shoes"

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.5/100, a mean average of 91.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.8.

My new favourite chart. Thanks for rating mine. This is a very eclectic, good quality chart. I agree with almost all of them but that won't stop me giving full marks. And some albums to check out, esp the Irish ones I've never heard of like Ginnels and others. I heard of Planxty through liking Billy Connolly's stand-up. Top stuff man. and I like all the quotes from songs.
I enjoyed reading this.
