Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by bea Unknown

Simply the 100 best albums in my opinion.
Not trying to include as many artists/genres as possible, nor limiting the number of albums per artist.
Original versions are mainly considered; however, good deluxe editions can score some extra points (e.g. In Rainbows, Mellon Collie & Live at Leeds).
No compilations.

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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.8.

fantastic picks (my favs being takk... and med). Also out of curiosity did you not include Slow Riot since it's an EP pr do you believe F#A# is better?

Great chart. Personally, I never got the Bob Dylan thing (I'm probably in the wrong) but apart from that, I enjoy most of the albums here.

Maybe the chart I have most in common with on this website. A lot of Håkan and very little on Beatles. Thats perfectly understandable for me. I found some non known album on your chart and will kolla in dom.

I would recommend you should look up some albums that don’t have a 10/10 rating from almost every music critic on the internet. Music critics are just people too, create your own opinion.
