Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by Greendonut227 
The biggest problem with this chart is that I want to fit more than 100 albums in here. After intense chopping of some albums I really liked, this came out.
I am the worst articulator in the world. Bear with me.
Two albums per artist

Nick Drake is the only truly perfect artist I have ever heard. I don't think he wrote a bad song. I don't really know how to describe Pink Moon other than it is something very special. It's like water.

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 7% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 89.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

Wow more Radiohead. Just kidding, they're good and the chart's diverse and interesting. Black Saint's my favourite jazz albums too, and there's a bit of everything here, from prog to grunge and of course, a lot of indie

Wow - great start. I'd only take out like 3, and that's saying something. Really like your search for what is best.
