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 82.9/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.0.

I like the Jazz inclusions. Always nice to a lot of albums you recognise along with ones you don't, taken a few off your list to listen to, thanks.

A little too much jazz for my liking, but I won't mark ya down for that, 'cause the rest of the list is superb.
Nice List, Lot's of varried music.
Interesting list

Awesome, original chart! While I love nearly all of your selections, Rock Bottom stands out as an album that is far too often overlooked, or unknown.
Captain_Dude 07/05/2011 07:13
Nice section...I'm with you on most choices.
