Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s by jhuik

I once hoped that this was going to be the decade that rock and roll made a huge comeback, cycling in sync with other odd numbered decades, the '70's and '90's. Instead, it's settled into a decade that is indeed very much varied -- great in its own right -- in which my own musical life has continued to evolve and change.

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 87.1/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 13.8.

Great chart. A nice patriotic Canadian too. We may be the only people on this site who know who Mathew Good is. We have a lot of similar picks and the ones you have that I don't have look interesting. Nice mix.

Epic chart! Really liked reading the comments, short, yet very descriptive. But it seems like you don't like some of the albums here?
