The Beatles are, arguably,the most important band of pop culture. 40+ years removed this one is the most accessible to modern mainstream audiences. While their previous work might have been more groundbreaking, with this one they had "perfected-the-art". I can't think about any other band as influential or revolutionary as the Beatles say farewell so well.

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 86.3/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.3.
