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)

Overrated? Yes. Talented? Absolutely. He churned out some good songs and decent albums over the years, and his respect and influence are obvious.
The greatest solo artist of all. From dawn to dusk every day he was a one-of-a-kind talent that also surrounded himself with some of the greatest musicians of the times. There isn't a discography as simultaneously varied and worthwhile as this one.
The man whose career can only be described with his name: David Bowie. His quality, influence and regard enough to match even the Beatles, and be only one person. Album upon album, song upon song.

Words cannot describe the value and importance of his works, his inspiration, his obsession and his musical legacy.
The best Artist of the last century
Took me until I was in my twenties to appreciate David Bowie but I'm glad I've come around and he has been one of my favorites!
Early teens in the mid 70s, laying on the floor in my grandparents 'best' room listening to the 'new Sony music centre. Wedged in between Val Doonigan and James Last and his Tijuana brass I found my uncles copy of Aladdin Sane. Mind officially blown. I had no idea such music existed. Singalong doo-wop (Drive in Saturday hooked me) extraordinary piano, beautiful story telling and that voice. The start of a life long love affair. Growing up in a tiny rural village, Bowie made anything seem possible. Anything. I could be whoever I wanted. There was a wide world waiting out there for me. I didn't grab it quite as I imagined I would, but I lived a version of it in my head as bright and shiny as if it were real. True escapism. Who I am in large part is down to Bowie. An actual hero for me. I felt like I'd lost a friend, despite never knowing him. Obvs. That is some talent.
It was late 1969 that I first heard Space Oddity on the radio. I was all of 13 years old. I love it then; I love it now.
Since then I have travelled through life with David Bowie's songs & music as a backdrop - so many classic songs; so many memorable one-liners; so many personal moments (often late at night) listening to David's voice & lyrics. Definitely one of my modern music/songwriting idols.
