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 78.3/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 18.8.

I it such a bad thing that so many people agree with our friend here?
Anyway, You are the only person who thought to put Jeff Beck on thier list. I find that outstanding. Your #'s 31 and 39 are also superb.

i going to have to contradict myself here... your chart is definitely lacking originality and your generic choices explain to me why you gave VU and Nico only a 50.
