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 track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 95.8/100, a mean average of 94.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 95.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

One of the best Beatles songs.
Awesome song! But not the greatest song ever- not even the greatest Beatles song
Consensus pick for best Beatles song. I'm not going to argue.
Not the best Beatles song (Strawberry Fields Forever), but still worthy of being the highest ranked. The piano piece is amazing and find myself humming that over the medley. Weird to think how much this song is in our culture without realizing it.
I think, Come Together, Eleanor Rigby, Help, Because, I wanna take your hand are better

Well it's different. I can only imagine how this must have influenced many in it's day and how revolutionary it sounded. Having heard it so many times it's lost its lustre but still an amazing piece of music.

Well, as the 90th comment in this thread, I don’t know how much I could add to the conversation if I tried.
I’ll just say this might be my favorite Beatles song and one of my favorite songs ever.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
As ambitious as it gets in Rock history, deeply influential.
No es mi favorita de los Beatles, pero sin ella no existirían Stairway to Heaven ni Bohemian Rhapsody.
