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)

Objectively may not be the best Who song, but it is my favorite. This song, specially the studio version, is just magic, the atmosphere of it, the piano, the organ, the phenomenal guitar playing of Pete, is just transcendent, just listen to it with your eyes closed, focus on every little detail of the song. I think that even Pete's voice crack adds to the song, makes it even more emotional (mind that the original release of Odds & Sods has this song in a slightly edited version, the 1998 remaster has it in its less edited form, which has some extra guitar parts that adds even more to the experience that this song already was). I can not express the love that I have towards this song.
The last 1/3 of the song and Pete's solo during it made me have chills down my spine more times than I can count. (Edited)
