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 9% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.0.

Interesting chart. A little surprised that there are no albums from the last 12 years but I guess that’s the way you feel about more recent music.
Interesting chart that puts your heart on your sleeve at #1. I was surprised to see so few albums from 2000's & none from 2010's (especially given your age). I was also surprised to see that not a single Australian album made the cut.
I was drawn to your chart because I was listening to JJ72 and quite enjoying it's poppy indie rock. I then saw someone - you - had it in their top 100 so thought I'd take a look.
I know about half your albums with some others already earmarked for a listen. I like that half I know and understand why they would be in - with the exception of The Verve album. I loved their Urban Hymns and eventually got into A Northern Soul; but A Strom In Heaven passes me by.
I see others mention your comments - but I must have come late to the party as there are only a few comments although they are good and help understand why that pick. Give us more.
But what happened to you after the 90's - a few albums from 2000 but then nothing....?

Great notes on the albums! Pet Sounds as No.1 is totally respectful.

Pet Sounds is a respectable number 1. Wicked good album

I'd already left a rating on this chart but since it's chart of the day I'll leave a comment. Really love the notes you've put out; would be nice to see a bit of love for some hip hop, jazz or ambient :)

I really resonate with the top ten of this chart. From a distance the chart seems a bit too safe, but who am I to say these are not really your favorite albums.
Nice chart but would be nice to be able to read more text in the top ten :)

Great chart man. Some refreshing picks. I like your taste in music. 27 albums in common. I liked the notes as well. Good work.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
