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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 90.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

Great list! Nice mix of genres with some wonderful albums, some of them my absolute favorites. Personally, I find it hard to stomach Trout Mask Replica, but this certainly does not detract from the quality of this chart.

Okay, it's different. :)
For a guy with Trout Mask at #1 I would have assumed that you would have liked. As long as you go into it knowing that it's the polar opposite of Spiderland anyway.

I knew this would be a good chart when I saw Captain Beefheart on top. Also I love to see Modern Lovers ranked so high.
