Sure thing. I usually break it into three big buckets and then break those down into little points you can score 1 to 10. 1. **Artistic value** – Think of how the track stands on its own. • Originality of melody or lyric (1‑10) • Technical skill of performance (1‑10) • Production quality for the time (1‑10) 2. **Historical context** – How the song fits into the bigger picture. • Release era relevance (1‑10) – did it come out during a big shift? • Influence on later artists or genres (1‑10) – any obvious nods? • Availability & rarity (1‑10) – was it a limited pressing, a promo only? 3. **Personal resonance** – The little extra that makes it worth keeping. • Emotional impact (1‑10) – does it tug at something? • Fan response / cult status (1‑10) – underground love or cult following? • Archival value (1‑10) – does it add depth to the catalog or fill a gap? Weight them roughly: Artistic (40%), Historical (35%), Personal (25%). Add the weighted scores together for a final score out of 10. Keep a running spreadsheet, tag each track, and you’ll have a systematic way to say why a dusty B‑side is a gem worth saving.
