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 85.8/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.6.

Decent, but a little blues rock focused. One rec I might have would be Eric Clapton's "MTV Unplugged" album. It's actually really good
LedZep 05/09/2017 17:34 | #190549
Gotta listen to the early Black Keys stuff!

juicy chart man, I like it!
Great seeing the Stones Aftermath album
Nice chart! Thanks for introducing me to Ash Grunwald (and reviving my interest in Buddy Guy).

Really cool chart. I like so many things of it like the inclusion of Funkadelic and so many great blues artists and even at high positions like B.B. King and Freddie King. It's also just great to see Jimi Hendrix on top. I'm definitely going to listen to Fish Out of Water after seeing your chart.

Class chart.
