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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 91.8/100, a mean average of 91.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.3.

This is one of the most layered songs I've ever heard. There are so many elements to this song that I am still discovering on each listen. McVie's baseline is incredible, Buckinghams guitar playing is ethereal, and the ghostly backing vocals are beautiful.

I only like Dreams more as time goes on. This is one of the great recordings in pop/rock history. So much magic in the nooks and crannies of the music with Stevie Nicks’ lead vocal is the straw that stirs the drink.
I ask with true sincerity: In the pop canon, is there a better *single line* than “Have you any dreams you’d like to sell?”
This song is pure magic. The best part in my opinion is the waiting in the prechorus where Nicks goes on "And what you had/And what you lost" and the song circles around the two chords. I like the way it doesn't go straight to the chorus, but there is this short part of tension; it's such an unique structure for a pop song.

Great song nothing more to say
Great vocals, can't believe it was her first try.
I could listen to this song many times over and not get tired of it.

A beautiful ballad. The singing and the lyrics are top-notch and world class.
The instrumentation is just perfect and her voice is something incredible.
Best song on the album for me. Beautiful lyrics and vocal harmonies.
