They are good, but this is ridiculous
That's pretty acceptable tbqh
every single one of elliott smith's albums are bolded, even his outtakes album
fuck beach house

teen dream and bloom are solid albums though

>>60342843
I gotta say this guy is on point many times
every 'tortured' soul that died too early such as elliott smith, jeff buckley, nick drake
every self pity/self diagnosed depression core
carissa's weird, the antlers, emo as a whole ...
>>60342859
Jeff Buckley died in an accident though.
>>60342727
i have no fucking clue why beach house is so popular
the music is nice, but unremarkable. there are a million other bands that sound like them
is it just because pitchfork jerks them off
>>60342859
jeff buckley wasn't even depressed though
>>60342859
>Nick Drake
>Not GOAT
>>60342859

??
what a jarring thing to say, do you hear yourself?
>>60342693
TIH is bolded but s/t isn't
come on
>>60342879
lotta white people need backround music at social gatherings
seriously?
>>60342708
deservedly
Top 50 of ALL TIME? Give me a fucking break.
Most of the top 50 is tremendously overrated.
The one that is most confusing to me is how rated some AC/DC albums are. I cannot wrap my head around that.
Then again, dad rock in general is overrated on RYM.
>>60343242
How highly rated some AC/DC albums are*
I refuse to believe this
>>60343281
>3.79
>3.80
>3.76
Jesus. AC/DC isn't even GOOD dadrock.
>>60343281
everything after back in black is panned, i don't see an issue with this
>>60342859
>Carissa's Wierd
>Nick Drake

holy fuck get off my board
>>60343299
OK Computer is the number one album of all time according to RYM
Humanity's greatest musical achievement
>>60343299
I know... Amnesiac that low? Outrageous!
disgusting
>>60343367
I'm still not quite sure how that happened, even though I love the album.
>>60343391
if this was released in the late 2000's it would be in the bottom 100 for sure
>>60343391
That is pretty overated, it shouldn't even be that high.
>>60343427
>overrated
fix'd
>>60343492
*gags*
Fucking Neurosis
I like Pink Floyd but some of these scores are ridiculous, especially DSOTM and WYWH
>>60343544
https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2010s and Divers and HOOM are listed as the 9th & 10th best albums of the 2010s
i like her but that's silly
>>60343556
You have to understand that every fuckin rando that stumbles upon that site rates a couple Pink Floyd albums as fives and never uses the site again.
>>60343929
Their algorithms prevent those scores from holding weight.
>>60343556
Pipers is deserved
>>60343546
Well you can just fuck right off.
Who are some artists whose discography is criminally underrated on RYM?
>>60344041
James Ferraro imo
>>60344041
Whitney Houston
>>60343281
I want to puke
>>60344041
Kenny Loggins
>>60343556
I know being contrarian makes you feel better than everyone else, but DSOTM and WYWH are legitimately top-rated albums (rightly).
>>60343492
Looks fair
right generation fags gonna cry
>>60343209
First one that actually pissed me off. Sigur Ros are alright but they aren't innovative or influential at all. They're Sarah MacLachlan-tier feelscore for people who think they're too good for that shit. Shouldn't be in the top 10 for 1999 much less top 50 of all time
>>60343209
>>60344362
Fuck you, that one is 10/10
ITT: people mad that their shitty emo, lo-fi, free jazz and krautrock isn't in top 50

>>60344479
>look at how much retarded buzzwords I can vomit into a single sentence
>>60344041
Streetlight Manifesto
>>60344458
Video game soundtracks in general are beyond overrated on rym.
I can't decide ifprog and metal is overrated or underrated on rym, it seems to get rated relatively high, yet people constantly bitch about high rankings and the albums constantly get downrated, I rarely see metalfags on rym downrating rap and indie.
>>60344479
Fuck off avant-teen faggot, you're not gonna impress anyone with your shitty Japanese Zeuhl and Russian miniaml synth
>>60344510
Super Mario Galaxy is underrated
>>60343367
it's very unfortunate
>>60343556
DSoTM deserves every ounce of praise it receives.
Get over it le right generation.
>>60342859
>the antlers is overrated
>Hospice only has a 3.58 on RYM
Should be much higher.
>>60344645
Hospice should be at 2.73 or something like that
>>60344675
>2.73
For what purpose?
>>60344041
Primal Scream used to be but I think people are coming to their senses
>>60344756
Because it is bad.
>>60344479
Maybe becuase some people genuinely like the music they listen to instead of using it for image
>>60344675
>>60344766
I'm really getting sick of Hospice hate, it's not masterpiece, but it's pretty good
>>60344645
No it shouldn't, fucking Familiars should be higher except everyone on RYM listened to it once and said hurr wheres kettering and gave it a 2.5.
If Pitchfork isn't all over an album's cock then RYM can't be bothered with it either. Fucking Universal Themes dropped like five points once the Pitchfork review came out
>>60344041
Manic Street Preachers and Paradise Lost
Is this a joke
wew
>>60344796
>No it shouldn't, fucking Familiars should be higher except everyone on RYM listened to it once and said hurr wheres kettering and gave it a 2.5.
I gave familiars a 4.5. I still like Hospice slightly more though. It might be bias because it was the first Antlers album I listened to.
>If Pitchfork isn't all over an album's cock then RYM can't be bothered with it either. Fucking Universal Themes dropped like five points once the Pitchfork review came out
I've noticed this too, but I don't really pay much attention to pitchfork.

>he doesn't like the best thrash metal album of all time
kys
>>60343364
Elliott Smith is shit though
>>60344855
Not that surprising, the only people who would bother to review a Dixie Chicks album in the 2000s/2010s would be huge fans of them.
>>60344884
yeah he's wrong
it isn't bad, just extremely mediocre and bland
>>60344873
Machines can't make music, they make noises.
>>60344952
I'd rather listen to something that's bad than something that's mediocre and bland.

>>60344178
>>60345003
>all these triggered right generation babbies
ayy Dirty Deeds and Back in Black got 7 from Scaruffi
>>60345074
Nah, I like dadrock and AC/DC has a lot of fun tracks, but they definitely don't deserve all those high ratings. Is a 7 from Scaruffi good? If so, that might explain RYM's love of AC/DC
>>60345074
>legitimately defending one of the worst rock bands to ever get popular
>>60345049
lol @ autogynephilia
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet. Kanye West is arguably the most overrated artist of all time.
>>60345131
7 is exceptional on Scaruffi's scale
I think those high ratings might be from more casual users as they are universally hated on forums
>>60345135
Let me guess you think that every ac/dc song is exactly the same
>>60345192
I never said that. I just think they're extremely overrated. In my opinion they aren't even above average. A few of their albums are average. Most are below average.
>>60345170
As much as I love College Dropout, none of his albums should be bold.
>>60345170
My favorite part is where Yeezus only has a 3.38 despite a similar critical reception as MBDTF.
>>60343367
>Humanity's greatest musical achievement
According to RYM, which means fuckall.
>>60344041

gucci mane
>>60344583
shit game 2 ez
>>60345310
cuz its hot garbage even worse than mbdtf which isnt very good
>>60344508
Honestly from looking at their reviews the only one I would say is for sure underrated is the hands that thieve. I'm a huge streetlight fan so I rated all their albums above the average but SitB and EGN are both 3.7-3.8 which is a pretty fair average rating.
>>60344041
Probably dr dog but only their recent albums are underrated. Also, battles is pretty underrated in my opinion.
>>60345702
I think EGN and THTT are underrated everything else I don't really care, but THTT is way too low
>>60344458
>a fucking video game soundtrack is ranked #7 for 2015
>it's ranked higher than all of my AOTY except one
Fuck rym.
>>60345800
Agreed. I dunno why I see THTT get so much hate. It was a pretty solid record. Not their best, but damn good.
>>60345131
RYM hates AC/DC (the boards at least). It's just a case of AC/DC fans rating the early albums highly
Not even their best album.
>>60343544
seriously fuck this
Divers was disappointing as shit.
>>60346061
>Kansas
I've literally never seen them mentioned here, how do they compare to other prog?
>>60344845
I feel like you haven't ever listened to rust in peace
>>60346165
You've never heard "Carry On Wayward Son" or "Dust in the Wind"?
>>60346165
its great
dont listen to anybody that calls them shit. dont judge them by the two most overplayed songs ever
>>60346138
Please elaborate on why? Not mad, just curious, because I don't see how someone could enjoy HOOM but not Divers. Did you just dislike Aaron Ellis's production work?
>>60346061
>>60346165
Right up there with Queen and Styx as some of the lamest wannabe Prog imaginable
>>60342879
> there are a million other bands that sound like them
You meant to say there are a million bands that ripped off their sound.
>>60346389
kill yourself
>>60346389
swap queen out for ELP and you got it
>>60346402
No, there are a million other bands that ripped off the bands that they are ripping off.
>>60343074
this wtfnoomg no. also unwound. and pic rel8ed.
RYM has a hardon for post-redditxcore. and that aint good
>>60346441
unwound is the greatest rock band of all time what are you on about
but yeah the rest is trash
>>60346409 refer to >>60346408
>>60346457
he isn't wrong :////////
>>60346488
yeah wow queen and kansas such tryhards why are they trying so hard to be prog -_________________-
>>60342879
can you name some?
>>60342693
in rym, dark ambient apparently = fedora music
This makes me sad. : (
The rest of the top albums list is even more fedora
>>60346456
>unwound is the greatest rock band of all time what are you on about
ok
>>60346374
What part of this picture is inaccurate
>>60346441
Unwound is magnificent though
>>60346585
That's because Tim Hecker, for example, is just classified as Ambient and not Dark Ambient.
>>60346642
all of it
>>60346165
>how do they compare to other prog?
They're not that good. However, the preceding iteration of Kansas, Proto-kaw, was much better in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_D9uDXDHPQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5v4uWDYnCc
Kansas as a whole is underrated due to only being known for two songs that represent the rest of their work poorly, but they're not that underrated. I recommend their first album, though; particularly these two songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOVxNppbvBc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9SWITyQjmQ
which are the only two I consider better than Carry On Wayward Son.
>>60343299
The circlejerk for radiohead is real
>>60343299
>31,509
for what reason
>>60342693
RYM is all about fans rating their favorities high and drones rating albums under the influence of Fantano and Pitchfork.
>>60342793

>>60347096

>>60347093
Their experimentation is playing with poop in form of music. Completely disgusting like your face and your relaptionship life.
>>60346425
what bands does beach house rip off
>>60347117
You probably just don't "get it" you pleb. Radiohead is literally the greatest musical act to ever exist.
>>60346642
none of it
It's the third highest-rated dark ambient album on the entire site, which is honestly pretty bullshit.

lmao only because they laid the foundations for the fucking genre. You might as well say every post-punk band ripped off The Idiot.
I don't even like Beach House apart from Teen Dream but this is a stupid post that implies you only know about Beach House from what you've read on /mu/
>>60347802
lol really? is that the best you could come up with?
i mean what did they do that hasn't been done before? what did they do to merit being more popular than all the other pleasant but derivative dream pop bands of the 2010s (besides getting BNMs on pitchfork)?
>>60347870
>i mean what did they do that hasn't been done before? what did they do to merit being more popular than all the other pleasant but derivative dream pop bands of the 2010s (besides getting BNMs on pitchfork)?

woah 10/10 criticism mate
you should be a professional critic

listen to some of their albums, maybe you'll find out, because clearly you haven't
>>60342879
see this
>>60342775
and this
>>60347670
man grow up, they are not even that bad, i only like one album by them, but I'm sure there are at least 5 songs by them that you would like if you didn't know its by them, seriously you are not the only one who has posted something like this, and i can tell its just the autistic hive mind effect
>>60347942
sjws did right for once.
>>60347942
A 3.92 is hardly "to oblivion".
But yes, the reviews for Pink Triangle as a single make it obvious that some people felt the need to be offended by it.
>>60348026

I CAN'T HEAR YOU WITH THOM YORKE'S DICK IN MY MOUTH
>>60348052
There's no need to be upset.
He didn't even say they are bad, he literally said "the music is nice". Their sound is pretty generic honestly. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, just strange that they became really popular when so many other bands have basically the same sound.
lol if you look at the top 100, its all /mu/core

I agree. As somone getting over depression, it's a selfish, uncurious beast, which wants you to only see things as they are now and never change. Nick Drake et. al just reinforce this, with this myth that being a martyr for your music increases it's value.
Fuck normalizing depression. The sadness IS NOT BEAUTIFUL.

Sure, they're influential. Sure, John Cale did some interesting production elsewhere. And sure, they captured some essence of cool. But this is about the quality of the music, right?
It's simply not that interesting. The motifs feel limp, structurally very little is happening, and the lyrics are desu pretty straightforward, substituting transexuals for cis people here and there. Choosing a manipulative, talentless demagogue like Warhol and a model, not an experienced musician but a model, as muses certainly didn't help. On top of this, I fail to see how the force of the group's personalities or insights could match even the Ringo's of most other bands with similar acclaim.
VU is what it feels like to try pot for the first time, choke on the joint, and not feel a thing different.

You do realize that Nick Drake was allegedly the happiest he's been in years while he was recording Pink Moon, then dipped all the way back down, and then just ended up killing himself, right?
