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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

Nobody was more surprised about the success of this album than Asylum Records..this compilation is taken from their first 4 albums..their first three albums didn't sell that well.."One of the Nights" was their 4th and biggest seller up to that point..So to have a greatest hits that is now the biggest seller of all time based on the songs from their albums up to that point was amazing and a huge surprise. I am not a huge Eagles fan, but my two favorite Eagles songs, "Hollywood Waltz" and "Saturday Night" are not on this album.

I hate the Eagles but there are two of their more tolerable songs on this disc. However anything with the putrid Lyin' Eyes absolutely has to be ranked no higher than a 5.

Helped to define "classic rock", with all its emblematic elements and contradictions- the road, "being free", hippie-appropriated chillness, making love, sunny feeling, commercial production, high CSN-style harmonies, finding redemption in a cool glass of tequila.
RIP Glenn Frey

I said to myself "I don't know anyone that owns this album, how can it be the best seller of all time in the US?" Looked through my dad's CD collection and there it was

I guess it's not surprising that the all time best seller is a greatest hits compilation. It is, however, a little surprising that it's the Eagles. They had just the right mix of singles at the right time to launch this one to the very top, where it still remains, decades later.
