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 14% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.9.

This guy must be a fan of Jorge Luis Borges given the number of Argentine artists that are on this chart. Solid list.

Great to see so much Stevie Wonder love on your seventies chart! I remember listening to Stevie a lot as a kid, and he's remained in regular rotation in my record collection ever since. Great chart!

...close to perfection...
I love the chart.
Great selections. A few of them are new to me, so I put them on my watchlist.

hello again dude
I listened to the Jose Jose album Lo Pasado, Pasado.
Although I read he is popular round the world I hadn't heard of him.
It is a really good album. He has a good voice. I liked the title track best, and his Billy Joel cover.
And I read Frank Sinatra was a fan and a friend of his. Talented guy.
so thank you, it's good to discover new artists.

awesome list man
many, many Yes-es from me.
good work
I think the 70s was the best decade for albums.
the 50's were dynamic and the 60s were revolutionary but the 70s was such a fertile time for music.
It's my favourite decade.
If I could just put Beatles, psychedelic Floyd, Sam Cooke and Etta James' 60s albums into the 70s decade it would be the ultimate!
great chart Dude.
Larcx13 11/02/2020 21:50
Definitely your best list.
On top of that, 40 albums in common.
I guess it's not difficult for the 70s. Everyone pretty much agrees on that era of music.
Goliath 06/14/2020 09:09
35 in common with my 70's chart!
Nice chart, with a fair bit of variety. I will be checking out Jose Jose and may be back to update the rating.
Man, these super specific album ratings for the top 3 spots are cracking me up.
