I'll defend their right to have their opinion of course, but compared to, well, virtually anything played on RP this (to me) is flat, dull, and drones on and on and on. i'm not being intentionally rude but I think it's likely that most people who listen to RP are fairly long in the tooth, and it's simply misty-eyed nostalgia that drives vintage tracks like this one to the top of the ratings, while newer, more innovative and adventurous music, which routinely gets a rougher ride from most of the silver-haired brigade, languishes underservedly at the bottom. What say you Bill? [ Reply ]

Keef Dec 05, 2012 - 13:55	Jimi would have turned 70 last week. I wonder if he'd still be making Kick-Ass songs like this one if he were still alive? [ Reply ]

Is there a more flexible, and realistic, method that could be applied? (And oh yes, this song is a 10 for me). I can think of two solutions. One would be a macro on the site to prevent ratings from haters, defined as those whose average, or current rating, is greater that 2 standard deviations away from the current mean response for a song. The other would be facism..All Hail Bill!!!..NOW [ Reply ]
