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 86.9/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

Your loyalty to your favourite artists is to be admired ~ with 30% of chart space dedicated to 5 artists.
Packed full of classic albums. You’ve got all of the basic ingredients here to build on to explore more widely. Great start to what will undoubtedly become a life long passion. Enjoy the journey
You have great taste - nice work! Many albums in common with my chart. You've got a similar problem to mine - that is choosing or separating out the best albums from the best artists and therefore they dominate your chat lol. These albums however can all be justified being in a greatest 100 - even if it's as many as ten, especially when it's a band as good as The Beatles.

Half of these are in my own chart. There are a few 80's albums worth checking out!

sorry dude but this is just kinda basic. I'll come back when you have listened to a lot more!
You have an exquisite taste of music for a chap your age. Well done. Look forward to seeing your list when it branches out to 100
