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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This one probably got too much airplay when it first came out, which in turn made it so ubiquitous it's hard to know whether or not to consider it a great song. But it is. The harmonica riff in the intro is fantastic, and the simple drum line perfectly punctuates the song's rebellious spirit. One of the best of Tom Petty's career, which is really saying something.
