These are just my favorites as of 9/1/15. No need to get mad that I have Kanye West, Wilco, and Bon Iver above Dark Side of the Moon.

Rating metrics: Help 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 87.1/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.1.

No need to get mad? Then what's B. Springsteen doing at the top?! I just don't get the why does it apele to so many people.
