How I rate songs

I like to use a 5-point rating system. What the points mean differs slightly from medium to medium, so here’s what it means for songs.

A few rules.

• No half or quarter points. We’re not splitting hairs here. We’re categorizing.
• Every song starts with no .
• In Apple Music, all songs rated or above get a . Every song rated or below gets a .

1 - poorly recorded, out of tune, not even a song

2 - a song I don’t like

3 - a song that’s fine

4 - a pretty good song

5 - a song that causes an involuntary emotional reaction
