Can we agree in an updated /mu/core?*
* albums that are frequently discussed, referenced, or enjoyed by /mu/
Suggest, discuss
>>63112457
A3, B4, C1, C3, and E3 are just memes and should be removed

>>63112498
meme'd or not, they frequently appear in lastfm and chart threads
>>63112513
yes, music with autistic babbling is a meme
they're even on the official meme-core chart 63109344
>>63112498

>>63112498
all great albums regardless of the memes
>>63112554
yes
Get rid of Vespertine. We talk about Bjork a lot here, but not that album specifically.
Replace E4 with Illinoise.
>>63112572
they are just okay at best and unlistenable at worst
Where are the meme grips? :^)
>>63112457
maybe No Love Deep Web
>>63112594
it's probably the most praised, just for the sake of being contrarian to Homogenic
>>63112498
lol?
>>63112594
>>63112655
well it's arguably /mu/'s favorite album of hers
>i dont know what /mu/core is but i want to make a chart
retards
See >>63112666
Thank God I don't visit here much anymore.
The only album I like is To Pimp A Butterfly.
The rest of this list is shit.
>>63112694
kid cudi's terrible album is hardly discussed anymore
Untitled Unmastered came out days ago and hasn't yet been as spammed as TPAB
i never see Lulu in any thread
the rest are occasional memes
>>63112746
loolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
>>63112693
>I can't read a thread
Retard
>>63112498
>>63112513
non meme
>>63112693
When has it been implied OP does not know /mu/ core
You're so stupid XD
>>63112802
this would be accurate in the old /mu/
Where the fuck is motherfucking LONG SEASON
>>63112771
I try. But I'm also serious.
>>63112457
looks good
>>63112498
>are just memes
that's the point you dip
>>63112802
Loveless is overrated garbage
A3, A4, A5, B2, B3, B5, C4, D3, D4, D5, 32, E3, E4 should be removed in my opinion. I'll give a justification for why if you guys want.
>>63112802
have you even seen the memecore chart >>63109344
>>63112537
you're the same guy from that RiL thread a week or two ago aren't you? The one who had an autistic meltdown because you didn't like and called it "musically weak"
>>63112865
>I'll give a justification for why if you guys want.
Nobody besides me give a shit about your opinions enough to ask you for it.
Now give us your opinion
>>63112898
no(?)
is it really so unthinkable that shitty meme music is hated by several people
Art Angels is
1. trash
And 2. Not nearly popular enough on mu to be mucore.
Similarly Carrie & Lowell and TPAB aren't popular enough for mu and recognized as mediocre.
Also old mucore is still mucore.
>>63112457
Remove Grimes and we have a deal.
>>63112959
No but you're saying exactly the same things he did in the exact way that he said them. Seriously shut up about memes, everything is about memes with you people. Are you unable to tell me a real reason why you think it's shit, or are you just gonna keep calling it a meme, or autistic like the other guy did?
>>63112970
>Similarly Carrie & Lowell and TPAB aren't popular enough for mu and recognized as mediocre.
Are u dum?
>>63113025
but it IS a meme, anon
>>63112936
This does NOT represent how much I like these albums. It's not about my taste, rather how viable the album is in representing /mu/.
A3: The only avant-garde album on the chart. Gives the impression of tryhard more than actual interest in the genre. More meme than anything.
A4: Rarely mentioned even though it is one of the best spiritual jazz albums. This could stay but it doesn't win any popularity contests. A Love Supreme would be better fit IMO.
A5: Why this over a Can album?
B2: Not even in the top 5 most mentioned Bowie albums.
B3: Similar reason to TMR. Minimalism doesn't need its own spot on the chart if it isn't listened to by the majority of /mu/.
B4: Spirit of Eden should replace this as it precedes Laughing Stock and shows the stylistic change from their art pop album The Colour of Spring.
>>63112457
While I don't enjoy quite a few of these all that much I guess it's not a bad place to start.
Replacing Art Angels and Carrie and Lowell with Visions (although I prefer her eariler works, but that one is the most mentioned one), and Illinois would fix the bottom row.
As >>63112594 said, Vespertine should be replaced by something else. I guess Homogenic, or even Medulla in case people wanna go full elitist mode...
Also Replica, while good, isn't discussed all that much lately, at least not in the more general threads.
A bunch of others while good, don't really have a place in a list of this size.
I mean where are Death Grips, Radiohead, King Crimson, Yes, Madvillain... Those are just some of the artists that get brought up in pretty much every thread and get a place in pretty much everyone's charts.
And yeah, Swans weren't discussed all that much lately either... at least not until whore Larkin thing.
I do however think that having more than 12 albums in a /mu/core chart is a good idea. In the end we can throw more genres in.
>>63113151
>at least not until whore Larking thing.
I meant to say "whole", but I guess this works too.
>>63113103
Case in point you memer
>>63112936
(CONT'd)
C4: Beating a dead horse. This meme will get mentioned with or without it being "official" mu-core. That being said, no new chart will make this not mu-core. It's with us for life.
D3: It's popularity here is very debatable. Most people prefer AnCo to this.
D4: Why this over many other great Bjork albums? This is neither her first great LP nor her most recent.
D5: This could stay but I really only see mostly negative opinions of Newsom on this board.
E2: This could stay.
E3: Don't feel like I need to justify removing this.
E4: Not the Sufjan album I would choose. It's his most recent so I think one of his older, more proven albums should be here like Illinois or The Age of Adz.
And yeah, as this guy said >>63113121 , Station to Station isn't discussed as much as the other Bowie's stuff.
Not that I'm really into his work, but it's not hard to notice.
And I also agree with his remarks on A4 and A5.
>>63112802
Fuck kid A
>>63113193
i don't listen to TH, so i'm nowhere near as prolific a memer as you
>>63112802
>Non meme
>Kanye west
WHAT
THE
ACTUAL
FUCK
>>63112457
*update*
I don't think we really talk about ITAOTS anymore.
It may be time to retire it.
>>63113408
This is MUCH better. However, I think Ex-Military should replace NLDW. I love both but gotta give the edge to ExM for being the first and just as good, if not better.
Please, please take off Art Angels. Grimes is horribly inconsistent at the album game. She is more of a singles artist, let's be honest.
>>63112457
looks pretty good
The commonly praised DG albums as of recent have been No Love Deep Web and Government Plates. I recommend we add either one of those two to /mu/core
Bowie is a recent addition, TPAB has to be added because of the consecutive months of praise before the memes.
Nick Drake has been talked about more and more recently, while Neutral Milk Hotel discussions have been lowering.
>>63113502
Government Plates is ass, and a recent strawpoll thread showed it at the bottom of the barrel of their discography. Agree with regards to TPAB (it's in the updated one).
>>63113461
I really wish that was true
>>63113547
I do think it's true. The past year and 1/2 i have rarely see it talked about anymore. It is just one every list by default because of how long it's been praised. To be honest (and this may be a reach) Sufjan Stevens would be a good replacement for them on the charts.
>>63113502
While I do agree Government Plates is their worst on a lot of Death Grips threads they praise GP (but it may be just to have a contrarian opinion.) If not GP then NLDW or ExM belong there.
>>63113121
>The only avant-garde album on the chart
pssst
>>63113408
This is very good, but I've almost exclusively seen people sitting on Art Angels here. I'd replace it with The Glow: Pt 2
Loveless is easily absolutely fucking easily the most circle jerked album on this board even more so than ITAOTS. I really don't see the hype. I've listen to it about ten times now and I still don't like it.
>>63112802
This is way more accurate. When will newfags stop trying to update /mu/core like it's a serious thing.
>>63113638
That's a good one.
>>63112594
I agree. Illnoise is much more universally praised here.
>>63113721
I hate arguing with people who think they're right when they're wrong, but you're literally wrong here family.
Fuck you all for turning Talk Talk into a meme, they don't deserve this
>>63113633
I agree that the spamming of aeroplane has ramped down, but it still happens. I think there's a thread right now where they're just posting lyrics in all caps. I wish they'd just take it off the chart so memers would forget about
>>63112457
>pharoah sanders
>not Sun Ra
>>63113748
>removing fucking ITAOTS
I bet you'd replace it with the hottest new memerap BNM
>>63113748
It's a damn shame too.
Aeroplane used to be *our* meme.
It was to /mu/ what bane is to /tv/, what boku no pico is to /a/, what Infinite Jest is to /lit/, and moreover it was actually good too.
Now we have nothing but a shitty edgy rap band.
>>63113823
No, I really like ITAOtS, but I just hate to see it memed on so hard.
>no Old Boots New Dirt
>>63112457
final version
>>63114593
where
>>63112457
>no Death Grips
This is a grave oversight. They are talked about quite often. An album they haven't even released yet inspired a bunch of /mu/tants to make an album, for fuck's sake.
