Absynthe Minded

Sites like these are interesting to discover bands you never heard of. This band has some very nic songs, I recommend listening to "Envoi" which takes you away. [First added to this chart: 05/11/2012]

Build A Rocket Boys!

Elbow

I am sure that not everything will like this kind of music, but those who were at Werchter 2011 and heard live "Lippy kids" will foster that memory. And "one day like this" is also a song scoring high on my "feeling good" list. [First added to this chart: 05/11/2012]

Cocoon Crash

K's Choice

The raw touch in the voice of the lead singer "Sarah Bettens" is making her songs special. I especially like "Believe" and "Cocoon crash". [First added to this chart: 05/11/2012]

Some Girls Wander By Mistake
Compilation

The Sisters Of Mercy

I was suprised of the absence of this album in the rankings. Where were you in the 80ies ? Some such as "Temple of Love" or "Alice" are carved in my memorie and continue to blow me away. [First added to this chart: 05/11/2012]

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 79.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.0.
