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 86.8/100, a mean average of 85.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.2.

I find them to be the most average of the classic rock bands. I was always pretty indifferent when their songs would appear on classic rock radio.
Better than the Beatles. I know it’s kinda noob to compare the 2, but really that’s a lot of praise. While not maybe the best Rock band, easily the best Rock And Roll band.
Sympathy, Paint It, Gimme Shelter, Satisfaction, Wild Horses, Shine A Light, Midnight Rambler
Those alone are better than some bands entire catalog.
So yeah. Lame to compare to Beatles, but still better enough to rival them.
Arguably the best Rock n'Roll band ever in my opinion and most of the top rock musicians wouldn't disagree, fans of all generations on a global scale, is it obvious their my favourite band, I've grown up listening to the Stones all my lifetime.

They are one of the best bands of all time ...they have released some amazing albums and some mediocre ones but the great & good outweigh the bad by a long way.
Good band! They brought some great rock and mixed it with a southern, bluesy sound.
Neither the most consistent nor the most virtuosic of the great rock bands, but nevertheless the greatest rock band there will ever be

1967 - 1973 is THE golden Stones era imho. Just great after great album. That's about the same number of years the Beatles were together.
There are about 6 albums by the Stones that are very enjoyable and worthwhile! Raw rock and passionate playing.
RIP Watts
No soy un gran fan de los Stones, pero reconozco que son unos clásicos y tienen al menos media docena de discos imprescindibles.
So sad that Charlie Watts is gone. Don't think they will ever be the same without him. A great drummer and the beating heart of maybe the best band we will ever see.
