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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.4.

It's just that typical mainstream rock/pop 80s band with a lot of good hits.

Really not bad for what they were trying to do, its just pretty average music though in the scheme of things.

I miss you so much joj. You don't even know.
The prototypical bar band made good story. Straight forward heartland style rock. Most of it comes across as good time party music. But if you want to listen a little deeper there is depth to the lyrics.
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Somewhere between the glam one-hit wonders, hair metal, new wave, and roots rockers that dominated the 80s, guys like Huey Lewis managed to carve a niche. Simple, catchy, creative pop-rock. No complaints.
