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 17% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.2/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

Are you saying you agree entirely with Rolling Stone magazine on what all the top albums are?

This looks a little like a re-imagining of a Rolling Stone-esque list but they are all great albums and of course we have quite a bit in common. Keep on listening! For some recent acts that have a similar vibe to the classics, I'd recommend Mitski and the War on Drugs

This is good.
So excited for you to expand!! There really is some great music out there that’s hidden and waiting for you.
Here are a few to try:
Nektar - Remember the future
The Smiths - Meat is Murder

This is the most classical chart that I`ve seen right now on BEA - Nothing wrong with it! (Edited)
