Default New Rating System

In the rating system, there are some songs that are rated SR for no good reason. "Eye of the Tiger"? "When You Were Young"? "Carry On Wayward Son"? "Hello There"? Why are these songs in this category? I would rate all of those songs "E" for Everyone if it were up to me. Meanwhile songs like "Woman" are given an FF rating. I guess suggestive themes are more acceptable than anything related to violence these days. Could someone explain?

EDIT: Not to mention "Rude Mood" and "Testify". Those songs don't even have any lyrics and they're rated SR!

EDIT #2: Now I know this system is messed up. "Kool Thing" is rated FF!

As it should be. It's absolutely ridiculous how people get their undergarments in a bunch when even a passing reference to sex is mentioned but nothing is said when blood and guts are involved.

This is one thing the Europeans are spot-on about.

Okay, forgive me for not knowing about this new rating system, but what is this rating system and what does SR mean? FF I think is Family Friendly right?

I'm unaware of these ratings too. Also, where do you see these ratings anyway?

Also, When You Were Young might be this "SR" because it says "Jesus", and Microsoft seems pretty touchy to religious words, especially Christian.

For those that are wondering, these ratings say what music can and cant be played in Lego:Rockband.

There are some kinks to work out and more people working on this soup than usual so it may take some time to get it tasting just right.

Are we talking about the same Testify? That definitely has lyrics, though I don't know exactly how suggestive they are.
