Produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker. Jazz is the last album from the adventurous (and their best) period. It's also criminally overlooked when rating their albums, forgotten and unfairly ranked low in comparison with their other 70's efforts. One great song after another, with the production of Roy Thomas Baker for the last time...and vocally, some of Freddie Mercury's best work. The end of an era, but what a way to go out. Discover the joys in this album...it will become one of your favorites. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2011]

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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.0/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.9.

Too much emphasis on classic rock for a higher rating than 80 sorry. Not a single German album in a decade that was defining for the German music scene??

Can't argue with any of these picks. Deja Vu is a wonderful pick as #1. Cars, in my opinion, don't get enough love, and plenty-o-Zep!
