My gut hurts… It’s not used to being used that much.

But once I decided it was based mostly on personal enjoyment, not how technically great the song is, it got easier. It was hard giving any songs low scores but when I thought of the really amazing songs I convinced myself I could place some of them in the lower range.

I bet my submission was probably the highest score Boys got. a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

It’s as close as I’m gonna get! At least I’m confident about my tens.

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

Can buy Joe love!

Fun fact! The highest score anyone has given Boys so far is

 

Number 9 Number 9 Number 9

Number 9 Number 9 Number 9

Maybe they read the mis-read the song title or were thinking of another song. Then again i gave ‘Across The Universe ‘ a very low rating as the mixes suck yet others love it – its all down to taste.

I will go in a major huff if ‘Hold Me Tight ‘ is marked higher than ‘No Reply ‘ by the way.

I’m personally not that big a fan of Blackbird . So someone giving it a 2 doesn’t surprise me.

What does it say about a person that loves Boys but doesn’t like Black birds?……..Screams gay racist to me!

 

I think our final rankings will be very interesting. Some mid table surprises in store…..Bound to generate heat.

Stand by for action.

I think I gave Boys a 9, possibly an 8. But I also scored Blackbird high.

Well, this is a truckload of songs to rate. I’ll get around to it eventually.

What’s wrong with giving Boys a 9? I love that song. It’s so rocking. Especially the Anthology version!

No, you don’t have to worry that you scored either more than intended. Your scores for both are lower.

Joking! a-hard-days-night-george-10 But it definitely wasn’t you.

The more I think about it the more amazed I am at the number of times I gave a song a 5 or a 6, or maybe a 7 –that is, for me they were simply mediocre or “good”. I also scored several songs with 3 and even 1 –lousy songs. The masterpieces were there, sure, and I scored them with a 10, but the fact remains: even The Beatles included many fillers in their LPs and singles (IMHO). And yet they are responsible for the best popular music of the last century –because of the masterpieces.

I rated all the “good” songs 5 – which is the middle. Even 4 for Beatles is 6 for someone else, I’d say.

I rated one track a 1 (no surprise which one), two tracks 3, a handful 4 and then the rest 5 or above. Few were 10’s.

My lowest was 2 and that was the runout groove, which I find slightly disturbing but funny.
