to each his own of course, but IMHO "if this is it" is one of the generic songs on the album, like a more rocking version of "all you did" or "never get over you". also, "the wolf" was a much more standard/radio-friendly/safe song while "fire in the henhouse" is a very creative and unique, enjoyable song. hopefully it will grow on you.

I have a thought. Your efforts are worthy of much merit, but the arithmetic mean isn't a permissible statistic with ordinal data. You'd have to look for the median. The problem is that the space between rankings isn't fixed, but rather arbitrary. I like what you were thinking though.

Instead of ranking the albums against each other, we could assign each album and song a rating from 0 - 10, 0 being Nickelback and 10 being perfect.

Thanks. Yes I know the results can't be perfect based on the data or my formula, as I said I am no expert, but it does give us a rough idea of the favorites. The more interesting part for me was looking at where some of the songs were ranked. A song such as If This is It seems very divisive, with some loving it and others thinking it too generic. Same with FITHH or Rabbits. Anyways, take it for what it's worth
