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 has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 21.8.

I LOVED Green Day when I was younger. I honestly thought that Green Day was one of the best bands ever, and their songs meant so much to me. Nowadays, I don't care for Green Day anymore. Their new stuff isn't great(American Idiot is pretty overhated, though), but their old stuff is also average. Green Day is REALLY overrated, their music is average, boring and lacks creativity. Also, Green Day is ranked higher than Iggy Pop, the Kinks, John Lennon, & the Sex Pistols? What the hell?
Dookie is a great album, though. It's one of my favorite albums of the 1990s. Dookie is a pop punk classic.
They were a head above all their 90's punk peers and influenced a ton of pop punk bands throughout the following decade. Everything up until International Superhits was solid gold, but once they released American Idiot they hit a different level. They went from punk studs to superstars seemingly overnight. While I prefer the pre-American Idiot Green Day, you have to appreciate a band that can tweak their image/style and rise to an even higher level. They are first ballot RnR Hall of Famers for a reason.

When I was in middle school, I thought this band was the best I had ever heard. but it eventually wore off because there's not much depth to anything.

Terribly overrated pop-punk band whose career peaked with regurgitation of contemporary trite criticism of the Bush administration. (Edited)

Green Day were the first band I fell in love with as a kid, around the time when American Idiot was released. The following years I bought a lot of their albums - and it was almost the only band I listened to.
By 2009 they released 21st Century Breakdown and my love for the band declined... 21st... is okay, but the latest three albums is not to my liking. I fear they'll never reach the heights of Dookie or American Idiot again.
