You can't possibly compare any form of art. That applies to songs too. However, I have tried to rate the songs in my collection by assigning them a number between 1 and 10. The ratings reflect a number of things, but they're based mainly on my personal tastes and preferences. A higher rating implies a better song (in my opinion). I have tried to classify the songs according to their rating. The broad categories are: Rating Description 0 - 2 Is this a song? Listen to it only if you are forced to, but not before you plug your ears. 2 - 4 Could be worse. Nothing that an artist would be proud of. 4 - 6 Just about average. Wouldn't be on repeat play on my playlist. 6 - 8 Pretty good. 8 - 10 The reason to like music. It doesn't get better than this. Again, the ratings are assigned by me. I might not like a song that someone else loves, but that doesn't mean anything. It's just personal preference.
