Rank - numerical order.

Rate - a measurement.

The post asked us to rank them not rate them. Although by doing so we are doing the other. Sort of.

So...

1. Rockhard In a Funky Place

2. Cindy C

3. Le Grind

4. Superfunkycalifragisexy
5. Bob George

6. Dead on It
7. 2 nigs united 4 West Compton

8. When 2 R in Love

Gotta agree, 2 R in Love doesn't fit on this album. Why he chose to put it there I have no idea. I removed it from my playlist of the album as it is so out of place. Keep it to Lovesexy. Although I don't often listen to The Black Album despite it being so good, one thing about Prince he sure gives plenty of variety. Whether people like it or not is a different matter.

Off topic slightly... when you rate a song what do you compare it to? Is 10 perfection and 1 barely music? 10 could therefore be Superstition and 1 Friday (Rebecca Black, although there are worse)? I ask as I often see people rating songs from albums here. Could it be people rate them comparative to the album alone? iTunes pisses me off as it only ranks from 0 to 5 (stars). Do I place lots of songs at 5 or just those few masterpieces that have appeared over the years? Then I have the problem with there being hundreds at 4.

For instance here is a snippet of 5 star rated tracks from my iTunes folder. Bear in mind sometimes I'm high or pissed when rating them Not sure what it shows (shit taste in music probably) but someone may be able to make sense of my post.

Green Onions

Talking In Your Sleep

She Sells Sanctuary

Upside Down

Hotel California

Your Song

Tiny Dancer

Better Than Love

Flying In A Blue Dream

Islands in the Stream

What A Wonderful World

Shake Your Body

Last Train To Clarksville

Sweet Caroline

Love On The Rocks

Another Brick In The Wall

Every Breath You Take

Creep

Controversy

The Love We Make

Joy In Repetition

Strange Relationship

Superstition

Purple Rain

Sir Duke

Lately

The Logical Song

Ride A White Swan

Get It On

Delilah

Baby Can I Hold You

With Or Without You

Teardrops

Now is Strange Relationship really as good as Purple Rain? One is a 9 the other a 10 but I don't get the choice. Delilah always a 10 but so very different when compared to Superstition. Are they even comparable?

I dont really put the song ratings as a science, its a variety of factors, melody, quality, lyrics, aural pleasure and quality of songwriting musician ship. I only mark hard my students essays and tests. Prince music is more fun. The Ranking on my list is actually in order top to bottom, so When 2 R in Love is the best song and 2Nigs the least best (Its still a 6, a solid C+, which to me is not a worst or a bad song).

Besides my ratings are arbitratry and just an opinion, I apologisde if I don't answer the question perfectly, but reallly who cares, I did what was asked and I am not about to justify my reasons for rating as well as ranking the songs.

Choice is a wonderful thing.
