2010 was the year I really got into music. I listened to way more music than i ever had. Consequently, I think i'm more happy with this list than any of my others.

I suppose this is the kind of thing we see every day.
The tide comes in, the tide goes away.
Oh, the tide comes in, yes the tide, yes the tide... [First added to this chart: 02/20/2012]
Built of living light
Where everything evil disappears and dies
When they love you, and they will
Tell em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell em all to go to hell [First added to this chart: 06/04/2012]

AV = the site mean average rating.

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 18% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.6.

So happy to see Halcyon Digest so high.
Excellent list! I especially appreciate the inclusion of Teen Dream and Have One on Me.
Excellent chart, it reminded me of a few releases I've been needing to listen to.
Great chart. We have 34 albums in common.
Nice, beautiful, clever chart!
There are good picks here but in general this chart is only OK for me. A bit bland and 87 North American albums is exagerated.
awesome awesome list and thank you for putting halcyon digest as your number one- its a severely underrated album
Saw this as chart of the day. Didn't realize I rated 100/100 already. Definitely maintain that rating.
Love your song picks.
The Chart is looking good with a lot of rare picks and a clear idea of the music you like.
But after thinking a while and checking some acts that I didn`d know before I feel that lots of the music is too pretentious, synthetic and in the end - a bit boring.
very very good... excellent set!
