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 86.0/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.1.

I've often wondered if things would have worked out better for them in the end if they'd called the group "Goodfinger" instead.

This is awesome. Badfinger, Procol Harum, Cockney Rebel, Be- Bop Deluxe. Hardly anybody around here has good taste like this. This is amazing.

Great chart, lot of power pop godfathers. You would probably like Jellyfish since you seem to really dig Big Star & Badfinger.
