Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 84.5/100, a mean average of 82.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 18.3.

My all time favorite band. They have given me so much to love. They get a lot of hate for their lack of “good albums” but give me another band who could churn out something as good as their debut, or an of their other albums by that matter. Bohemian Rhapsody quite literally changed the course of pop music as to what a single could be, and while it wasn’t the first 6 minute single, what they were able to fit in in only 6 minutes, has gone on in world culture history. And their live shows are some of the greatest ever.
Freddie, Brian, Roger and Deacy.
God save Queen. (Edited)
I am an album person and this is more a song band than an album band. Nevertheless, they are great . (Edited)

im neither fan of Queen nor Freddie Mercury they are just not my cup of tea, but even i can recognise that in music world they are legends. they should be at least in top 20 bands. they dont have a masterpiece album? fine , just rate as high as possible their greatest hits and problem is solved. BEA site and its community proves once again that they are biased twords some albums/bands and neglect other far more accomplished (Edited)

Like with Elvis, Queen's ranking on this website is lower than it should be as they were more of a singles band. 'A Night at the Opera' is one of the best albums of all time though and 'Queen II' and 'Sheer Heart Attack' are also great if you enjoy deliberately over the top rock music (which Queen were one of extremely few to do well I think).
The band also really stand out for how good their live shows were (check out the 1975 Christmas Eve Hammersmith one) , and their 24-minute set at Live Aid is considered by many to be the greatest live performance in the history of popular music
