I should have said "rates" instead of "ranks."
Immediate F for Rev 9, of course.

geoffI mean, she seems like a nice person. But she's rating these songs not on their merits or demerits but on how much she wants to hear them all the way through. Why should anyone care about that?

Nothing wrong with rating them that way. She's rating them for HER OWN TASTE, not as a critic who is telling other people what to listen to. If you don't care then stop watching the video when you learn how she's rating them.geoffI mean, she seems like a nice person.

I was most surprised with "I Will" as an "S".

I never heard of that until recently with younger people. A rating above an A+ called an S.

She explains it very clearly at 00:30.But why is it needed? What's wrong with A+ being the highest rating. If you want something above that why not A++?

I think, among Paul's more pastoral WA songs, "Blackbird" and "Mother Nature's Son" are better than "I Will."
Certainly. I consider 'I Will' rather nice but slightly blah. BB and
MNS are tops. MNS especially.

I don't think so either. Some of John's songs on this album are very good, but others are just so-so, and Rev 9 is an atrocity.
Here are the songs from the album that are among my 100 favorites by the band.
15. Savoy Truffle
31. Glass Onion
43. Revolution I
59. Back in the U.S.S.R.
60. Birthday
64. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
81. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
And these are just not good IMO
Wild Honey Pie
Piggies
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Long, Long, Long
Revolution 9

I wouldn't call Piggies, EGSTHEFMAMM, Sexy Sadie 'not good'. And Long
Long Long not bad either.
So we disagree.
