Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
TerryTezza 
This is my Top 100 chart which is based on albums I have grown up with and have discovered later in life and been played many times. The albums I choose are based on it working well from start to finish and with a theme is a bonus. There is also that element of magic and journey I look for in an album too throughout. There are many artists that I would love to include but lack that album that captures me throughout and some albums that are not highly recognised that I feel are underrated

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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

Excellent chart
Finally, an Aussie brother in arms. Of course I love you putting Australian music where it rightly belongs - in a greatest 100 chart. Enjoyed seeing Simple Minds at #1 - nice move. My only reservation re your chart (& it is entirely a personal one) is that giving 50% of valuable chart space to only 12 artists somewhat limits the exploration & appreciation of 60+ years of modern music across the planet, including other exceptional Australian artists (eg The Church, Alex Lloyd, Living End, Black Sorrows...). That said, your loyalty to the artists you most admire is to be admired & respected.

sick chart, I dig your descriptions.
This is a fantastic chart. I honestly love so many of these albums and I intend to check out the ones I am not yet aware of! :)

Good Chart . I still love the Simple Minds. Nobody seem to know that even their recent albums are quite good.
Demon days!!! Nice!
