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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 69.0/100, a mean average of 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 16.2.

Good singer, Pop Punk / New Wave icon; writer of great anthems of the 80s like "Eyes Without A Face", "Dancing With Myself", "Sweet Sixteen", "Hot In The City", "Rebel Yell", etc.
He also knew how to reinvent himself artistically with his album, "Cyberpunk".
My list is:
1. "Cyberpunk" (1993)
2. "Rebel Yell" (1983)
3. "Wiplash Smile" (1986)
4. "Billy Idol" (1982)
5. "Charmed Life" (1990)
6. "Kings & Queens of the Underground" (2014)
7. "Devil's Playground" (2005)
8. "Happy Holidays" (2006)
I really recommend listening to Cyberpunk. Like "Berlin" by Lou Reed, it was a misunderstood work at the time that, we must take care of its importance. In my opinion, his best album.

Poppy, catchy, slick MTV faux punk.
Terrific live performer and some really good catchy songs. More of a hard rock and even pop artist than true punk in my opinion.
Great live act and some very cool songs. Idol's albums can be a little inconsistent but when he is on a roll, he is as good as it gets. His Devil's Playground album was amazing.
