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)

he's so good because he's so honest. are all of his songs amazing? in some way, yes. are they all great? hell no. he was an artist who expressed himself through music. he spilled paint. he got drunk and forgot the words. he never faked one damn thing. he survived the fucking beatles, at least for a while. a man who impacts the world daily, in the eternal search for peace.

His solo work is solid, and he's an absolute institution of music... but he did his best work when foiled with Paul in the Beatles.
One of the greatest musical geniuses ever lived. We miss you John!
As a solo artist, some good songs but mainly poor ones. Only ranked where he is because of his work with The Beatles, which proved without doubt he was a special talent and deserves his legend status. The ranking I've given is just for his solo work, which if truth be told, was released by anyone other than John Lennon, wouldn't even make the top 100.
Crap. Pure fucking crap. (Edited)
