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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 90.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

This is a cool list! Many of the same are on my top 100. You've got the undisputed late 60s/70s classics sorted, especially in the genres of rock, prog rock, blues, folk, including some hip-hop/rap, jazz and art-rock. A few of my top bands are well represented here. Good to see some alt-rock/grunge artists from90s, maybe reach out further with this. Would be good to see some more jazz-fusion, funk, metal and electronica if any of those genres grab you. Possibly more international artists too.

Feels like the greatest hits of BEA users chart ~ only a few albums are outside the top 10 of their year chart. I always like to see some outliers - some suspense & surprise in a greatest albums chart ~ a sense of individuality & personality. No doubt, over time, that will come and your chart will be much more rewarding & satisfying.

Meant to say, if you like a new world record check out Out Of The Blue. Best ELO album ever
