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 82.1/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 4.3.

Can't argue with the classics. Top 10 is pretty straightforward though, not so diverse, but at least it's not 8 Radiohead albums and 2 Arcade Fire albums

Beatles and Dylan, which is always good, plus some Savage Garden. Well varied--I like it.

Good Music, but for me it´s a little bit too much "everybody´s darling" music.

Lots of great music here ... but greatest/best of packages. For T-Rex start with "Electric Warrior"(1971) or "The Slider"(1972) and The Stones that all depends on your favorite era.
