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 49.7/100, a mean average of 19.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 19.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.3.

Probably one of the worst Ive seen. Theory Of A Deadman? Loverboy? Bryan Adams?? DEF LEPPARD? Pretty much the worst of the 80's. And that comment about The Smiths, Beatles, REM, and Radiohead is just ignorant.

Exhibit A: "Personally and IMHO, the Beatles, REM, Radiohead and The Smiths are 4 of the very worst bands in the history of music..." -Tubira

Exhibit B: This chart.

Actually,to be fair there are about five or six good records here. Considering it's out of 50 though, that's a pretty sad percentage. Now if only I could say, "Never heard of it" and be telling the truth. Sigh.

Any chart that includes Foreigner, Bon Jovi, two Bryan Adams albums, Kix and Firehouse for goodness sakes has got to be a joke. Not to mention the freaking Eagles!! Horrible. LOVERBOY?!?!?!?!?!?!

I'm confused, are you serious?!? Aja is good, Look Sharp is good, and so is Hotel California, but the rest in a best ever list doesn't make sense to me, but each to their own
