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)

Conspiracy theory: This song is actually in 25/37. Think About It.
11/10
The best AC/DC song ever. The ultimate bad boy song. The lyrics are great, the song is very catchy, and I think Run-D.M.C. could cover this one, too. That would be a good idea.

One of the most recognizable rock songs of all time. The riff is a rock n roll staple. AC/DC rewrote rock n roll with this song.
Iconic classic rock song, great riff, great rhythm, and all round great track that will always be a fan favorite in AC/DC's catalog
