I’ve been hearing a lot of songs that I haven’t heard in a while doing this. Although I’ve learned that I like some older songs more than I thought I did I’ve found more that I thought I liked more than I do.

What’s been really interesting for me has been to move my ratings to a spreadsheet to find out which albums are my favorites based on my ratings. There were some albums that I liked more than I thought I did. I made several different lists. I’ve the the list of albums by overall average rating, albums by the number of songs I’ve given 4 or 5 stars and percent of 4 or 5 star songs on the album. (As you can tell I’m a analysis geek.)

My top 10 list by averages is:

Cocteau Twins – Heaven Or Las Vegas
100 Watt Smile – 100 Watt Smile
k.d. lang – Ingenue
Liz Phair – Exile in Guyville
The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Liz Phair – Whip-Smart
Elastica – Elastica
Oranger – Doorway To Norway
Devo – Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
Yellow Second – Still Small

My top ten by percentage of 4 and 5 star songs is:

The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Liz Phair – Whip-Smart
Oranger – Doorway To Norway
Elastica – Elastica
Devo – Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
The Beatles – Rubber Soul
Vomit Launch – Dogeared
The Breeders – Pod
The Amps – Pacer
Pixies – Death To The Pixies
