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 84.9/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.8.

You clearly like the classics, and I will try that Steve Miller Band album you have at #11 atm. I miss a little more less known bands and artists, especially from the 2000's and 2010's; maybe you can check out Porcupine Tree for example.

Super-solid top 10 (as of 20/4/18). Can't disagree with anything outside of the top 20.

There's some great music in there, but it's all 'rock' music, predominantly seventies rock music. Every music fan needs to embrace all kinds of music, that's what makes someone a music fan, as opposed to a rock fan or a hip hop fan. Open your mind, branch out, there is so much great stuff out there.

This is very nice! It looks very much like my first chart here. Keep listening and you'll discover even more fantastic albums, from 90s and 00s as well as 70s. That will add to diversity, cause this site is nice for discovering albums
