Categorizing FM Songs / Your Personal Taste

[bluecalmsea]

How would you personally categorize the songs of the Rumours lineup band? (I did not include SYW since there is no Christine on the album, but feel free to add it to yours) My categories are:


Perfection & Almost Perfection (would never skip these songs)

Likes (great, but not always interested in hearing)

Neutrals (no strong feelings of love or hate, just exists)

Cheesy (one could still like or dislike a cheesy song)

Why does this exist (cringe/ hate)


In total, I have

19 Perfect, 19 likes, 15 neutral, 10 cheesy, 8 cringe out of 71 songs

So, I think:
27% of the songs are perfect
27% of the songs are likeable
21% are okay/no strong feelings
14% are cheesy (love them or like them
11% are cringey

My ratings:

TOTAL 32/21/16/7


Funny for me that Lindsey wrote my most and least favorite Mac songs (Go You Own Way and Family Man resp). Christine had the most hits but scores the least often for me in the perfect area, especially in the 80s. I guess I'm not an 80s kid even in spirit, I love her earthier stuff. Stevie was the most consistently great for me until she totally drops off during TITN.
