Since the classics (anything above Overall Rank 200) already have so much love on this site, I decided to exclude them from my chart.

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 85.9/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.8.

Cool!

Very nice chart. I don't see the point behind the no instrumentals rule though.

I give it an 85 for originality because it can be clearly seen at some places so cheers for that :)
Very good!
Kudos for the inclusion of Zappa.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
