Total fucking godhead

Or, I'd like to check out your public protest. Another list? -- stop reading, stop reading for me now.

I need a formula to tell iTunes to list albums whose consituent songs all have four or more stars, or where the overall star rating averages to greater than four. This needs some sort of declarative language -- aha! Apple Script!

I suspect that the list generated will include:


  • The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" (mono version ; stereo version ; studio out-takes)
  • Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band's "Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)" and possibly also "Ice Cream for Crow"
  • Emmylou Harris' "Wrecking Ball"
  • The Fall "Live At The Witch Trials", "Totale's Turns (It's Now or Never)", "458489 A Sides", "This Nat-ion's Saving Grace"
  • Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain"
  • Pere Ubu's "Dub Housing"
  • Radiohead "OK Computer"
  • The Replacements' "Let it Be"
  • Talking Heads' "Fear of Music"
  • Tindersticks "Tindersticks" (the one that NME called "Total f**king godhead")
  • Wilco's "Summer Teeth" and "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"
  • Yo La Tengo's "An then nothing turned itself inside-out"
