Rating/Comments
Red Hot Chili Peppers ratings
Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:
av = trimmed mean average rating an item has currently received.
n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 3% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.0.

RHCPs changed music with their incredible style and energy. I have savored the experience of listening to their music for the better part of my life. I remember hearing Blood Sugar Sex Magik when it came out it blew my mind. They have continually rewarded us with great music with integrity. I recommend all of their albums not a mediocre in the bunch.

The only band that succesfully kept the funk genre alive during the 90's. I respect that.

I have a soft spot for bands that evolve and refine their sound. It's a treat to go through The Peppers catalogue and witness the transformation of their sound. The profound effect different guitarists have on the steady forces of Kiedis and Flea.
BloodSugar, Californication, By The Way are masterpieces.
Pick your favorite 14 songs from Stadium Arcadium, which will be different than my 14, and you can add that album to the above list.
Their story is interesting too. How they have managed to keep on keeping on is a testament.

Flea and Anthony have gone down a very interesting and heart wrenching path. Their music up until Mother's Milk was ok. I like their "What Hit's?" compilation of that time period before, but everything after, even One Hot Minute, I have loved.
1. Blood Sugar Sex Magic
2. Stadium Arcadium
3. Californication
4. By the Way
6. One Hot Minute
7. I'm With You
8. Mother's Milk (great stuff, but can't rank high because it wasn't terribly consistent).

Really surprised this band does not crack the top 20 in the Best Ever Artists list on this site (see right margin). Way better than Nirvana in terms of output and quality, objectively better than Arcade Fire (whom I like, but come on) and technically, player-for-player much better than or at least equal to just about any other four-piece band.
