Rating metrics: Help 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 86.9/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 14.1.

"Members who like this artist also like: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd."

the facts on this site are all you need: 4 albums at 8.5/10, 2 albums at 8/10, and another whopping 7 albums at 7.5/10 (not including compilations). probably my 2nd most listened to band after the Beatles, but I still couldn't really say they're better than Pink Floyd regardless. they still need to be moved up at least 2 places, the idea that nirvana's 3 albums or arcade fire's 4 albums put them ahead of the Stones is a riot. they belong next to dylan and bowie up there....

To me, the second best band from the rock era, behind The Beatles. Not many bands are as influential and talented as they are. I don't think there's another band in history that could completely sell out stadiums more than FIFTY years after their birth, captivating so many generations, and still being incredibly relevant. It's a disgrace that people in this website think that Radiohead (whom I love deeply) and Arcade Fire are better bands than these legends.

Had the Stones called it quits after releasing Some Girls, it would be hard to argue with their standing. But 30+ years of tarnishing their own image has taken a lot of the luster off of their legacy. They've been a horrendous parody of what they once were for far too long. And they've been an average to horrible band now for much longer than they were a great band.

The Stones may have the best singles of any of the 60s/70s giants, and Mick Jagger is one of the most entertaining front men rock has ever known. But they never seemed to be able to have more than about three-quarters of a great album, and I wish we could have had more songwriting and vocal contributions beyond the Glimmer Twins.

At their peak they were arguably the second best band ever. Beggars Banquet,Let it Bleed, Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are classic rock/R&B/pop. They probably should have broken up after Tattoo You, but they have had the odd great moment since. A British treasure.
