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 92.0/100, a mean average of 90.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

My favourite bit is the little transition riff that comes after the choruses: that short chromatic riff, with string bends accompanying the "hey" and "yay".

Decent guitar, the vocals are grating.
Surely the most famous rock song ever written?

Forget the hype, the legacy, the impact, the overplaying, Smells Like Teen Spirit is quite simply absolute music perfection. To have had this in my life is frankly a blessing.
Borrowed a van to help a friend move house a few years back. Noticed the previous occupant had left the CD of Nevermind in the player so pressed play.
Thought nothing of it as SLiTS played through, having heard the song a couple of hundred times I guess. You know - just driving along. When the song finished my 6 year old piped up from nowhere, ‘that’s the best song I have ever heard’.
Proud Dad.
The song of the 90's.

The most iconic song ever (according to research, see my chart of most iconic songs).
I don't care if Cobain hated it, this is the best Nirvana song

WOW, the time goes older. Great single.
Top ten song of all time. Very important for music.
