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 1% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 94.4/100, a mean average of 92.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 94.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.2.

A deserved top rating due to the vast amount of quality songs they produced over such a large range of styles. When you break it down, they were quite unbelievable. A band like them will never come about again. Ever.

I agree with the notion that the Beatles are the greatest band, whilst not being my all time favourite band. Still, when they get it right they really do light me up. And they got it right many, many times.
The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Кино (Kino)(Russian band) are best bands in history ??
After them: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Joy Division, the Cure, Queen, Radiohead, Omega, Golden Earring, Amon Duul II, Nirvana, Moby and others
Sooo many good songs, with such variety and experimentation. Are they the greatest band ever? Well, they are not my favorite, but if there is such a thing as the greatest band, it´s probably them.
They are the best
It's perfect!!!
Decent singers. People in the band are cool. Massive respect for their songwriting and studio capability. Not my favorite though. Still good.
The best band of all time!

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 :(
