Cream ratings
Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 is rated in the top 2% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 13.0.

As underrated as an artist gets...Because they never toured America, perhaps.

The first great power trio shines even more as heard from the live albums.
Very underrated these days....classic blues rock....

Favourite song: Sunshine of Your Love
Favourite album: Wheels of Fire
Good psyhedelic blues band. I could never really get into them though.

Great, seminal late sixties hard rock band. Like Hendrix, just a few original studio albums, all great.
It's sad to see that Cream is starting to slip out of the more known artists on this website. They pioneered psychedelic rock, the power trio format, drum solos, among other things. Some of the greatest guitar music in the world came from Clapton from these years.

Pioners.
One of the most important bands of the 60s. They made the blues heavier and inspired countless bands later in the decade, including Rush.
new way to feel the blues, all bands after them have some influences from them, pioneers!!

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 :(
