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 69.0/100, a mean average of 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.2.

Good singer, Pop Punk / New Wave icon; writer of great anthems of the 80s like "Eyes Without A Face", "Dancing With Myself", "Sweet Sixteen", "Hot In The City", "Rebel Yell", etc.
He also knew how to reinvent himself artistically with his album, "Cyberpunk".

My list is:
1. "Cyberpunk" (1993)
2. "Rebel Yell" (1983)
3. "Wiplash Smile" (1986)
4. "Billy Idol" (1982)
5. "Charmed Life" (1990)
6. "Kings & Queens of the Underground" (2014)
7. "Devil's Playground" (2005)
8. "Happy Holidays" (2006)

I really recommend listening to Cyberpunk. Like "Berlin" by Lou Reed, it was a misunderstood work at the time that, we must take care of its importance. In my opinion, his best album.

Terrific live performer and some really good catchy songs. More of a hard rock and even pop artist than true punk in my opinion.

Great live act and some very cool songs. Idol's albums can be a little inconsistent but when he is on a roll, he is as good as it gets. His Devil's Playground album was amazing.
