That's 9. There's still room to wonder whether it might just be me. 10 is for songs that will make all humans cry. If you do not cry, well...

I give a TEN to a song, that when it comes on I crank my sound to 11. {#Music}

I have only rated 5 songs with a ten

10 - Patsy Cline - Crazy
10 - Richard Thompson - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
10 - Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street
10 - Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues
10 - Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night

And that may be an excessive number; all of them I consider to be flawless gems.

I tend to be stingy with superlatives (which, like profanity, become meaningless if overused)

Not to sound flippant, but just cause I loved it! There are literally thousands and thousands of songs that I rate a 10. I generally feel 3 ways about a song, I either love it, hate it or it is just monotonous, nondescript drone in the background. So I rate a lot of 10s and 1s with a smattering of 8s and 9s. I usually give 7s to songs that I like from groups that I cannot stand.

I love the term "Godlike"... and take it to heart when I rate a song a 10... My 10's are songs that transcend the mundane creations of humans into something that comes to me as transcendent, inspiring. Here's a sampling.  Man they deserve it!

10 - Genesis - The Carpet Crawlers
10 - The Who - Quadrophenia
10 - Peter Gabriel - The Feeling Begins
10 - Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
10 - REM - Nightswimming
10 - Pogues - The Sunny Side Of the Street
10 - New Order - Temptation
10 - The The - This Is The Day
10 - Philip Glass - Escape!
10 - Yes - And You And I
10 - The Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon
10 - Elbow - Any Day Now
10 - White Stripes - We're Going to be Friends
10 - The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
