Top 100 Music Albums of 2020 by Purplepash

Not as good a year as recently in terms of awesome albums (my current #1 probably wouldn't have made my top 5 in the last few years), but still lots to enjoy. I am already bumping off really good albums I truly enjoy. A great year for post-punk though, (which has been promising over the last few years and has really come through this year) with three post-punk albums in my top 10, and another couple with post-punk influences.

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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 93.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.3.

Another thought provoking chart, with a couple of (previously undiscovered) albums to add to my own 2020 chart. Ain't that what BEA user charts are all about! As always, loving the Aussie connection ~ no room here for DMA's, The Apartments, Suzie Stapleton???

Great chart, haven't heard the majority of these but I enjoyed pretty much all the ones I have heard. I really dig Idles, this one just happens to be my least favorite of their albums so far. Still great though. Oh and I had no idea about the Grandaddy re-recording, I DEFINITELY need to check that out!

Like you, I'm still finding myself bumping really good albums off my 2020 chart to make room for albums I've discovered more recently that I enjoy even more. I have a feeling, now that I've checked out your chart, that I'll be adding some new albums, thanks to your recommendation. I'm starting at the top with Ultra Mono.

Fantastic chart. I could easily just copy and call it my top 100 as well! Excited to check out some of the bands I've never heard of, including Silverbacks and Deserta and others.

Thanks Zep! I don't know about the quality though...I like a lot of crap no one else likes ;-)

Great chart with many albums I've never heard of. They're probably quality as always. Good stuff Purple!
