[BC] Problems with online radio restrictions

[Mark Humphrey]

One of the most interesting features of the Radio Paradise website is
the listener rating (on a 1 to 10 scale) for each song in the
playlist.

As is the case with "Grandma" (which I would rate a zero), you'll find
certain songs that can pull an average of over 5, but a large number
of people hate them -- for example "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran
Duran:

This track from Cake didn't do much better:

However, the Beatles scored much higher:

But "A Day in the Life" took second place to Beethoven:
