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 84.6/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.3.

Say what you will about Queen, but Brian May's guitar playing alone makes them one of the best bands of the 70s. His tone is masterful. There's a certain cheese-factor to Queen, but much of the early 70s was ridiculously cheesy and completely over-indulgent. I prefer the 3 album run of Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera over the later work.
Criminally, almost laughably underrated on this site (probably because they are perceived as more of a singles band). Perhaps the best singer in all of rock mixed with four of the greatest songwriters. An eclectic, chameleonic juggernaut second only to The Beatles (and maybe Michael Jackson) in terms of pop sensibility - with each member having written a number one single - yet their first two albums were so heavy, progressive, and influential. Brian May's guitar is one of the most distinct in all of music. Freddie's career was bookended by some truly creative albums.
One of the greatest bands ever, but they never had a masterpiece album, which keeps them fairly low on this site. One of the best singles bands ever (Edited)
Queen have been my very first favourite band. Without them, I wouldn't ever have begun to listen to music seriously, and I wouldn't know the music that today today I consider the greatest. Still, objectively I find there are quite overrated and there is surely better artists by far. Love Behemian Rhapsody, Innuendo, White Queen, Show must Go On and so, hate their discography from 1977 to 1989. And I really think they could have ended Queen after Freddie's death. I still love them though.
Incredibly overrated. It's hard to bear. They've never made a classic album. People are rating A Night at the Opera too high just because it has Bohemian Rhapsody on it, which is overrated on top of that. Just a decent rock band. Nothing more. Go ahead and downvote this because I don't like Queen as much as you do.
