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)

Even if it's my favourite band, no one can't say that it's not one of the best electronic music band ever.

I heard Trans Europe Express for the first time at a disco in 1977. Yes, it broke first in the discos. And I heard Autobahn for the first time on AM radio in junior high school. Yes, it was a Top 40 Pop AM hit. This AMAZES me. (Edited)

They deserve to be higher than a shit load of bands on here like Muse and Oasis.

I've always been amazed by what Kraftwerk achieved back in the 70s. The instruments they were using, and pioneering, were so rudimentary and basic. Every instinct tells me that electronic music shouldn't be able to convey so much emotion or depth, and only a handful of bands have managed to pull that off. But Kraftwerk stand out; their music is written in the same way as a conventional pop song, but played on instruments that sound like nothing else.
The pioneers of electronic music. Kraftwerk should really be higher in the band rankings.
