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 86.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.4.

Cool enough chart ~ too heavily centred on a small number of artists (51% of chart devoted to 11 artists) for my liking ~ mainly an observation.
pretty good chart friend, i dont know if you are into jazz or progressive so here is 3 albums for each
Jazz:
A love supreme - john coltrane
In a silent way - miles davis
the black saint and the sinner lady - charles mingus
Progressive :
in the court of the crimson king - king crimson
selling england by the pound - genesis
mirage - camel
Very BEA friendly chart. For recommendations, I recommend you dabble in other genres and get a good solid appreciation for other music other than Classic Rock. If there was one album to recommend, my favorite album is Depression Cherry by Beach House. It's so beautiful it's unbelievable. Its kind of like MBV Loveless but its dreamier rather than shoegaze. Similar genres though. Knowing your favorite album is Loveless, if DC didn't do it for you, maybe Cocteau Twins 1993 album would. Thats a fantastic album thats reminiscent of MBV Good luck
Love this chart! 29 of your albums are the same as mine, and I reckon quite a few extra you have here are only just missing out in my greatest 100. Must check out some of the stuff here I haven't heard yet,
nice variety
I agree almost completely with “Boltzmann” about this chart – there is an element of the predictable and it is very centred on rock in its purest form.
One album I can recomment if you like ‘Loveless’ is ‘Love Agenda’ by Band of Susans from 1989. Heavier than My Bloody valentine, but equally layered and at times almost as gorgeously melodic.
When i look at the chart of the day, i really only look at the top 30 entries;
by placing Quadrophenia @ #3, i know instantly that you are a serious music lover with credibility, who appreciates quality musicianship and, is willing to explore music produced decades ago ie jimi hendrix, ccr, zep
From your list, i really am going to listen to loveless in a more critical light- previously i thought it was weak but your description enlightens me to open that door once again.
Also, love seeing kings of leon on your list- not a super fan of them, but going to visit their work because of your testimonial.
We have very similar tastes but i have found that the beatles just don't do it for me anymore.
Additionally, have you listened to (new music) "the national" or "the war on drugs" or "gary clarke jr".
i think you will love these 3 modern rock bands.
Also, give Joe Satriani a spin, specifically "surfing with the aliens" as a intro. then extremist or
crystal planet or flying in a blue dream. i think you would enjoy this.
thankyou for a great list.
Great chart with some unique and interesting selections. Well done!
Mellon collie and siamese dream are both incredible albums that I will always be grateful to the smashing pumpkins, but I agree that mellon collie is slightly better. Liked your chart
Loveless is in my top 3. I'm still too lazy to sit down and listen to all of Mellon Collie. A lot of classic rock thrown in between the albums I like, but they're still good. Led Zeppelin 1 is my favorite of their albums and Kid A is my favorite album in general. I'm not going to rate your list lower due to differing opinions; it's a very interesting list with a few albums I'll have to check out.
