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 78.7/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.8.

Interesting stuff. Marillion is underrated, I think. Perhaps, Dire Straits as well. You certainly have your favorites, but we all do.

The mixture of Rock and Soft-Rock, Art-Rock Band is something I love.
I feel not everybody on BEA likes a Soft-Rock band an Nr. 1 but for me it´s OK!

Interesting choices, especially as a live album at #1. Nothing wrong with that but again, interesting. Love Californication haha, great choice! :D
