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 79.7/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.2.

Pretty good list. I can see you are a fan of Buffalo Springfield

I feel your musical taste, I think that 70's are the best time for music even more that 60's and 90's
ForegroundNoise 10/11/2018 14:26 | #222345
You placed Pablo Honey as the best Radiohead album wow
mozzmozz 11/19/2017 20:32 | #201665
A range of musical styles over 4 decades. Supertramp is an obvious favourite.
ffudnebbuh 04/20/2011 15:16 | #20541
really interesting start..perhaps another 30?
HyperBully 03/31/2010 08:06 | #10159
It's OK, in part because it's so diverse, but it's correct to say that it could use work. A lot of work.
maxxy 10/09/2008 06:17 | #1475
