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 75.6/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 20.2.

Right... I know many artists are more profound. I know many surpass them lyrically, and demonstrate greater complexity. But nobody in the post-grunge era demonstrates the ability to rock hard with clever, thoughtful, skilled and catchy tunes like the Foos. These are the guys Nickleback dream to be. The Foos carry the rock and roll torch into the 21st century.
Foo Fighters is a band that does not take any risks and play straight forward rock. While I'm not a fan of listening to simmilar stuff over and over from one band, I gotta give them a shout out for playing consistent rock 'n' roll these days where most rock became indie and soft. Not complaining while listening to them to the radio but not enough to make me buy their album, sorry FF fans :)

The Foo Fighters' longevity and ridiculous amount of success are Dave Grohl's answer to Kurt Cobain's despair at rock and roll's limitations.

I'm as stupidly guilty as anyone of dismissing these guys as formulaic... or whatever. But all Dave Grohl ever does is make f#ckin kick ass albums full of kick ass, awesome music. He's a rock god with an amazing habit of surrounding himself with fellow geniuses. Take the 20 or even 50 best songs by this band and compare them to any other band's 20 or 50 best songs and the Foos absolutely stand with anyone.
The most mid rock group ever. Not awful, not great. Completely average. (Edited)
