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 75.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 27.1.

Buena clasificación. Prácticamente incluye a todos los artistas y grupos que me gustan de los 60-70. De ellos, me faltan algunos discos como Crime of the Century, Crisis what crisis? o Animals, escúchalos si no lo has hecho. Lo más sorprendente (agradablemente) es encontrarme a Triana. Echa un vistazo a mi clasificación y a la de Kaiser si quieres ver grupos de rock progresivo actuales.

Clásico tras clásico, una lista fantástica. ¿Has probado Rush o Marillion? Todo apunta a que deberían gustarte.

Good chart! Nice to see The Trials of Van Occupanther alongside more conventional choices such as Pet Sounds and Songs in the Key of Life.
