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 89.9/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.0.

Really loved reading the write ups and the stories as to why these albums have resonated so much with you over the years. Great list!
A very interesting chart that spans the decades and reveals a unique musical taste ~ and the comments add flavour to your selections ~ which is always a nice BEA touch.
It was refreshing to see Lou Reed's 'New York' in there along with 'Transformer'.
An extra bonus point for including one album from south of the equator.
Great chart. Love the selections but also the work that has gone into putting this together. Cudos.

Cool list with a lot of fun picks and a lot of similar choices. Maybe a little rock-centric, but thats just me
Great list (and agree with CharlieBarley that I also like the included notes!) Always good to see Devo in a list on here and amazing to see The Residents included, one of my favourite bands! Definitely got some more bands / albums that I'll be checking out from your list too, and also revisiting some classics that I haven't heard for a while - starting with The Madcap Laughs (it's been too long since I heard that fantastic album!)

I don't know why I never rate people's charts; especially one's that I like. Better late than never I suppose :) Loving the Susumu Hirasawa pick, and your notes are well done.

Very interesting choices! Love the work you put in some of these texts.

Commenting again! Haha. I need to listen to that Love album again. Godspeed is great! Love REM. Love Big Science by Laurie Anderson, keep moving it up my main chart. White album is fantastic obviously, I even use to consider it my all time favorite but I rarely listen to the Beatles anymore. 17 artists in common, nice!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
