After this, I averaged out the number for each song with it's corresponding album to figure out which album I liked best. Here are the results (lowest average means I liked it better):
1. Purple (19.7)
2. Core (32.3)
3. STP (37.2)
4. Tiny Music (39.58)
5. #4 (39.63)
6. Shangri La Dee Da (45.7)
So based on this exercise, the self titled is my third favorite album. Pretty cool! #4 and Tiny Music were almost tied. No surprise that Shangri was my least favorite. I was a little surprised to see Core that high, but I guess it's probably the most consistent album (meaning less songs I didn't like)
