Top 100 Music Albums of the 1960s
by Hayden

Toss Bringing It All Back Home somewhere in there too. More Coltrane. Wild Is The Wind. Probably a Buddy Rich record. James Brown. Bobby Timmons. Tina Brooks. James Carr. Etta James. Coleman. Burton. Shorter. Definitely Sun Ra. There's lots. This really isn't a very good chart at all. Sorry.

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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.2/100, a mean average of 90.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

In your description you state that this is not a very good chart. I beg to differ. While your top five is a bit basic for me, the rest of your chart is varied and perfectly describes your music taste. The White light/white heat, underground by Monk, your Karma. All of these are great albums and I totally agree with it. Awesome chart!

One of the best charts I've seen so far, congrats. We have similar tastes in the music of the 60s :) I'm glad.

This is both really original and a great list (from what I can tell from the albums I've listened to).
