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 is the song that makes me want to learn guitar. Very powerful. Could open or close an album, or be right in the middle. Those first 18 seconds could possibly some up all of rock ‘n’ roll then and there. (Edited)
One of the most iconic rock and roll songs of all time, and for good reason. (Edited)

Chuck Berry is the king of Rock & Roll. Johnny B. Goode is proof. (Edited)
A true rock song. One of the best. (Edited)
I heard this is the song they sent out in space first, so I guess we're well represented. (Edited)
