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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 80.9/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.3.

I am right there with you with Bruce and Van. Hard to pick just a few with so many great ones to choose from. You have forced me to look into the Swedish artists you listed. I have never heard of any of them, but I like just about everything else you have listed, so I am sure there are some hidden gems in there. Thanks!

You wear your tastes proudly... Personally I find this chart a little one-dimensional, but whatever.
