  • Baby Please Don't Go. Al Kooper. Worst song I've heard in awhile.

    d

  • Missing. Everybody but the Girl. Worst song I've heard since the previous one.

    d

  • Let's Go to Bed. . Ok, a little bit catchy even though Robert Smith's voice and hair aren't.

    c

  • All Along the Watchtower. Bob Dylan. Prefer the Hendrix version.

    I hate to say it but I can see a path from Dylan to Smith in these back-to-back songs anyway, beyond the hair and voice that is. a

  • Heart Full of Soul. Chris Isaak.

    Rockers don't sound so good in lo-fi but still. b

  • Four Days. Counting Crows.

    Is this the UC Berkeley guy? How come I can never remember my Bay Area rock stars? Is that Third Eye Blind guy still around?

    How is Carlos doing these days? d

  • Mrs. Potter's Lullaby.

    Counting Crows. A bit of country guitar helps. b

  • Johnny Mary.

    Robert Palmer. Low-key for Robert Palmer; very much meets the criteria. b.

  • Etudes tableaux op. 39 no. 1.

    Rachmaninoff. Classical music included and not ghettoized. Wow.

    Don't like this one so much, although maybe that's because of the mundane piano timbre compared to what proceeded it. c

Oh, I see, you can filter by genre. Classical and jazz mode follows:
  • Passion St Matthieu.

    Bach. It feels odd to give the music of Bach a grade but anyway. a

  • Delta Mood.

    Duke Ellington. Never heard this before but it has an edge to it. b

  • Messe in ut : Kyrie.

    Mozart. En francais. Got it.

    Oh no, I just clicked on le diagram and scrambled the path and Mozart has disappeared.

  • Moments musicaux D780 No. 4.

    Schubert. How I lost my love for Schubert, I'll never know. c

  • Winterreise - gute nacht.

    Schubert. Ok, not completely. a

  • Desert Winds.

    Kenny Burrel [sic] and Illinois Jacquet. More tasteful than I was expecting. c.

  • Lonely Woman. Ornette Coleman. Ok, I skipped around to find this track.

    It was between Liszt and Chopin of all people.
