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 has a Bayesian average rating of 82.5/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

Great chart, no girls though? 27 in common with my chart, I'm also not a fan of music past the year 2000.

Unique picks on charts are what make this website so great. To criticize other people's charts for being "different" goes against the nature of the music community, especially when your chart is very basic and old headed.

pretty boring 1 dimensional list. You really should try different roots of music. Your opinion is way too similar with Rolling Stone Mag. This is the obvious taste, and a good start. Try different stuff, harder, weirder stuff.

Great music that's for sure but I agree everything on here is highly rated already. There's tons of good music out there from different genres that you may one day get into.

Can't agree with The Clash and U2 on this list, its a little bit overrated I think, but this chart is good)))

A nice rock chart, but could definitely do with a bit more diversity genre wise and especially decade wise. Cool stuff nonetheless
