Its interesting you mention this because Ive found many of my favorite songs tend to be ones I thought were just okay or even disliked at first, which took a few listens to click with me. Whereas if I like a song a lot the first time I hear it, I often tend to get bored of it quickly.

Oh, definitely. Ive mentioned it before, but it took me a while to appreciate The Protomen - Act 2. It was so different than I expected that I actively disliked most of the songs. It eventually became one of my favorite albums (well... not that I like many in the first place), but it took a while before I really got it.

(Not that it was the most complex album, but you know what I mean)

Something to think about: putting the music on shuffle when doing your ratings. Hearing a bunch of songs in a row with similar style might change your mood long term (relatively speaking), which might affect your ratings.

At a smaller ranking topic, I would. The previous ones had an extra step:

1.Listen (mostly) in posted order.
2.Listen in random order.
3.Listen from lowest ranked to highest
4.Start topic

But as were going from 300 songs to over 500, Ive eliminated step 2 for being the least important. I dont think a list of this size could ever get done with all the extra hours that would take, but cutting it makes it feel manageable.

...or they, if you want to be inclusive to all my various accounts, in a sort of whatever thing or combination of things theyre calling themselves tonight type way, but you probably dont.
