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 78.9/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.5.

Great chart, if my list was 100 I would have a further 20 of your selections.
How though can anyone have Red hot chilli peppers in a greatest list? Ugh.
With great anticpation i look forward to Lanois and Young colaboration, My all time favorite artist and alltime fav producer. Saw his solo tour in buffulo and it sounded great.

all the usual suspects here...but iron maiden is a refreshing twist. also the first time ive seen daniel lanois on here. the tea party does a fantastic cover of his song "the messenger."
