I wrote a book about RANKING, and now we are working with Zsuzsa Szvetelszky on an other book REPAIR: When and How to Improve Broken Objects, Ourselves, and Our Society
WHAT RANKIG ALGORITHM COULD BRING BACH, MOZART AND BEETHOVEN TO THE TOP?

You can like it or not, ranking is with us. It is not a magic bullet that
produces order out of chaos, but it is not the product of some random
procedure.
Two of performers really stand out from the above selection: Beethoven and Michael Jackson – great music and great performances.
But for my generation Bach, Mozart etc are missing.
However, in relation to Peter Erdi’s book the real question is: how to define rules which gives large weight to real, heartbreaking music – like the “Leiermann” of Franz Schubert – instead of the nice ass of blond girls (which is equally enjoyable but not as a musical accomplishment).
Please do make some hints!
From RANKING to REPAIR! 
Let me ask this:

My American (!) vocabulary is not enough to express my consternation about the list: America First. The provicinal one.
