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 85.0/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.0.

From MadhattanJack 10/22/2023 09:40

Solid! Let nobody tell you you have bad or even mediocre taste in music. There's certainly nothing here I could reasonably argue with, though I suppose I could always go the unreasonable route and argue just for the sake of being irritating.

Very cool chart - for those of us who 'lived' the 70's, the albums of that era have stood the test of time. Like you, my chart is biased to the 70's. Although not in my top 100, I really got a kick out of seeing 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere', 'Blind Faith' & 'Express' in your chart.

From s8undgarden 05/26/2017 01:53

Very good taste in music, knows his Brit classics and a little grunge is always tasty. I was surprised not to see any prog other than Floyd. It especially seems like this fellow would dig King Crimson.
