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 83.9/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

This compilation paired with the 'Rewind 1971-1984' compilation covers a large selection of the 'Stones' best work

The only problem with this album is the Rolling Stones are too good to have a best of compilation. I used to have it on vinyl and side 3 had: "Jumpin' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Sympathy For the Devil, and Gimme Shelter." Those are some of the my favorite songs of all time.
I have this original album on vinyl, and it hits all the right spots when it comes to the Stones repertoire. A great compilation.

In my opinion the greatest compilation album of all time. The Stones are obviously great and it’s better expressed through this save for a few albums (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers) during this time period. Since they released 30 studio albums in total save yourself a lot of time and money and buy this. For the years after I recommend Jump Back - The Best of The Rolling Stones....

This is an outstanding compilation. It perfectly captures both the Stones best songs and their early evolution.
A great compilation! This album contains many songs that shaped rock for years to come. I prefer the individual records but if your only gonna have one Stones album this is the one.

Not a fan of their albums, but they had a few really good songs. This is all the Stones I've ever needed.

In all honesty, I can't find a single Rolling Stones album that I love, cover to cover better than any other. I don't think they really got the holistic album idea. So I had to settle with this. Their period after Brian Jones slowly deteriorated. I think their last decent song was in the 80s.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
