Interestingly enough many of the albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's would have been in my list 20 to 40 years ago. However my tastes have changed over time and what I used to enjoy and like in music doesn't always please me now. So although I appreciate the features of those albums that make others list them, they no longer do it for me.
I rate my songs a an A+ to F scale. Anything B+ or above is a song I like. I have lots of albums where all the songs are B+ or above, so I'll cut my first list down to albums that have at least one A+ song (A+ means it's a favorite) and where the lowest song gets an A-.
if that grading system works for you...great!
but I find it too over complicated...
Music Head's system which I have adopted is very easy:
we score tracks on an album wither 1 (dislike), 2 (like), 3 (love).
after all the tracks are collated divide the overall number by the amount of tracks:
if the division number is between 1.0 and 1.6 than means we dislike the album as a whole.
if it is between 1.7-2.3 then we use that guide to say we like the album,
between 2.4-3.0 means we love the album...
its simple, but it works
a few examples of how we do it:
