Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
pjohnsongolf 
This is my current Top 100 albums. My knowledge of music is expanding daily. I am a young 20 year old from small town Idaho but am far from a typical Idaho kid culturally and politically. This website has helped me so much and I’m grateful for all the amazing users on here!
Edit* As of 3/18/21 this will be limited to 1 album per artist
P.S. I am trying to make this as diverse as possible. (So there isn't a billion prog, Weezer, and Radiohead albums)

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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.4/100, a mean average of 92.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.

Damn, my comment from a few years ago kinda sucked didn't it. This is a great chart, keep it up!
<3 good list
I like the 1 artist rule as it gives breadth to your chart. Also like that you have discovered Australian artists - your selections are great! We only have 2 albums in common - Grace & Remain In Light - but given that I could be your granddad, I wouldn't expect anything different. Enjoy & embrace your musical journey through life - it will always bring rich rewards.
Great chart and the notes really add depth to your picks. Great stuff
I like your notes. They always give a good personal touch to any chart.

Flower Boy is not better than Igor, but I really like this list anyways. Very eclectic and reflects your taste very well.
Edit: I love all the picks and the Injury Reserve inclusion really sold me on this chart!!!!
