Rating metrics: Help 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 83.1/100, a mean average of 83.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

These songs are pretty fun, not all as obscure as you'd expect, and give a real sense of just how many bands went down this golden road.

A friend turned me on to this album in the early 80's which got me exploring 60's psychedelic music.Excellent introduction to a great era where some rising musicians got their start.

Even better than the songs are the hairstyles of each band. A time capsule.

Sorry, but I had to add this because for whatever reason the album wouldn't show up on my chart when I tried to add it even though it already appears in the database.

the marketing of this album is misleading...these were songs that I used to hear on our AM top 40 station the way you hear Black eyed peas or whatever crap they are playing on the radio today...it wasn't the fringe element back then. I have most of these on 45's
