Sittin' here with me and mine, all wrapped up in a bottle of wine
Little we can do... we gon' see it thru somehow
So... now are you ready to go? my lady
I been waitin' on the boat here I been waitin' so long
"Can he see me? does he feel me? does he know me at all?"
"Does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me at all?"
Bang! Bang! goes the night, all wrapped up in the firelight
Don't "rock bottom", just listen, just slow down
So... now are you ready to go, my lady?
I been waitin' on the boat here, I been waitin' so long...

Brilliant!  A fab song from one of my favourite bands.  Needs repeat listens but never gets old.   Live version even better!

Your question can be answered in a fairly straightforward matter if it's mathematical, and in a much more convoluted fashion if it refers to the psychology of human preferences.  
I suspect, however, that you're actually wondering why more RP listeners don't have a musical taste similar to yours.  Have fun with that musing, if that's the case.

at the beginning of this song, I thought "I think I'll give it a miss"

but I didn't and by the end of this song I decided to say I dig this song and I've given it a 10.

These guys stole the show at the Lockn Festival in Virginia this month.  This is saying a lot since Phish, Gary Clark Jr., Ween, Tedeschi Trucks, and many others (who were all excellent) were in attendance.

This tune is pretty good. 

 
I find their earlier work much more inventive and enjoyable.   Their album "Z" a masterpiece but after that I was really disappointed with the turn that their music took.  I appreciate bands changing sounds throughout the years - e.g., Beatles, R.E.M., U2 - but the direction MMJ went after "Z" was not to my liking.

Well, if you're going to judge rock music on singing "ability", you might as well throw out 75 percent of it. Good rock music (I distinguish it from soul, country, etc) largely has little to do with technically good singing. Think Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, John Lydon, Nick Cave, Mark E. Smith.

How can you rate songs by comparing them to songs that Bill wouldn't play? How do presume to know the mind of Bill? Are you psychic?

Its all subjective. I see the nouns that accompany a "1" rating, "Sucko-Barfo" as applying directly to this crap. MMJ is a good band, but the term "sucks" is totally applicable to this song. So a "1" seems a perfect fit. To give this garbage a "5" would be to say that I feel it is "Decent," which I do not. I pound the mute key the very pico-second I detect this cut.

I never understood how people can give music on RP a 1. I mean the worst song I heard on this station was a 5 at the lowest. I can understand if you don't like this song, but a 1 out of 10. If Bill starts jamming out Fallout Boy or My Chemical Romance maybe I will stoop down and give a 1 rating for once. But My Morning Jacket deserving a 1?????
