That’s a lot of verbiage just to say “I took bands with numbers in their names and put them in descending order” sheesh.

While obviously the “best” song or musical artist is hopelessly subjective, even changing day to day and hour to hour for the same listener, curiously there is an objectively worst song: “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf.

You got me there. It must be that seeing the word “math” shuts down my satire detection abilities!

As an objective measure of value delivered, it’s obvious that notes per minute is the best way to calculate that. And it should only count varying notes; the same note played over and over adds little value. Studies have shown that pleasure derived from a repeated stimulus decreases rapidly with repetition.
There, solved that one pretty easily!
Spoken like someone who’s never heard “Boot Scootin’ Boogie”.
