OK Computer

As of this year, OK Computer has been my favourite album for a decade. That's crazy to think about. In that entire time, I think that Mellon Collie, Pet Sounds, and - maybe - To Pimp a Butterfly have been the only albums that I've even considered might challenge it. Every time, though, I quickly shut that down. Every time I return to this album, I have a little voice in the back of my head that says, "okay, here's where you find the flaws." And yet, every time, that doesn't happen. Everything about this is Radiohead firing on all cylinders flawlessly. This has the best set of lyrics Thom Yorke has ever put on a record, some of the band's best and most energetic playing, several of their absolute best songs - Climbing Up the Walls, No Surprises, Let Down, Karma Police, and Paranoid Android are all S-tier Radiohead, with the rest of the album sitting in the A- or upper B-tiers at worst - and a total cohesion that is absent from their first two records and never quite matched by anything that came after it. It kinda feels strange that this is so solidly the site's overall #1, as this is a quirky, weird, long, dense record...but I think that's part of the miracle of OK Computer. It just yanks you into it from that first distorted guitar note in Airbag to the final triangle note in The Tourist.

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 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.6.

Not sure how much this is the finished articled (since you've put this as under construction) but a great mix of albums nonetheless. Some notes to your favourites would be really interesting to see!

Great list. We have pretty similar taste. Love the variety of albums here. The only thing I don't love is the somewhat lack of '80s albums.

I expected more Canadian albums tbh. A really cool list tho, and the descriptions are so kick ass! Shame there isn't more of them, but a nice list dude. Galapagos-Porcelina and Zero-To Forgive are some of the best track groups that I've ever listened to. Also nice to see Dream Theater, and the Rush choice is very cool, maybe my fav by them right now. Solid jazz choices too!
