Thank you!
My 'Fav' is the track I enjoyed most in the context of the album. That does NOT mean it's the best track of the album.
The 'Setting' category is where and when I heard the album for the first time. This could give you a little bit of context about my picks.
I sure hope I could fit more albums in here. I tried to include some more internationaly-unknown Israeli artist for BEA to listen to. I think you’ll enjoy them if you have the same taste as mine. Enjoy!

Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
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 6% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.5/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.5.

Great 100 albums chart, loving the added Fav track comment, I might steal that idea, if you don't mind ;-)
ForegroundNoise 09/14/2019 09:47 | #242567
Loads of lovely albums here and the 'Fav' tracks are a nice touch. Well done!
doubleA 09/14/2019 08:42 | #242564
Every now and then I see a pick that seems really interesting and personal but otherwise it stays pretty close to the overall chart. There's nothing too wrong with that, those picks are popular for a good reason, but when there's no notes to back that up it's a bit difficult to not see parts of the chart as a band wagon.
Don't get me wrong, what you still chose to pick I think shows personality, especially appreciate the national picks! A few notes and some love for the 80's would be great! There's much more from the 80's than its top 5 overall ranked records ;)
The classics... and more!!
Amazing chart
