What is your opinion on RYM's top 10 albums of all time, according to user ratings?

(Please say your opinion nicely, when we are nice to each other the discussion becomes more enjoyable for everyone)

could be better without all the dadrock

>muh music peaked in the late 60s/early 70s meme
>>
its a reasonable list for the most part, but Kid A at #6 is head-scratching
>>
idk, i feel like Ok Computer was simply memed to number one. Other than that it's pretty good.
Less dadrock tho
>>
why are they ranking numbers too?
fuck number 4 btw
>>
sup crazyaga. missed you

only albums i dont absolutely hate are 7 8 and 9
>>
>>60686381
i get why most of them are there like Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Velvet Underground, the Beatles and Radiohead (although i don't really like them much), but i disagree completely

and i don't get how MBV and Led Zeppelin is there, one is a fucking pop reocrd and the other is groove based shit, might as well have a slam album there (ignoring it's influence of course)
>>
>>60686398
But anon, the fact it was rock that was made earlier is not an indicator if it's quality.
>>
could be better without all the radiohead
>>
OK Computer should be lower and Kid A should be higher. I don't object to the inclusion of two Beatles albums, though I'm not sure those would be the two I'd pick. There's obviously a bias toward music from the late 6ps and 70s on RYM.
>>
>>60686381
shit, but better than anywhere else
>>
>>60686381
only the prime number albums are any good
>>
>>60686381
I am disgust that some peoples might start their journey by straight, thoughlessly consuming this list. Its so stupid - limiting music to few lyrical american rock albums. I pity those peoples, they will miss so much good music out there, thats instrumental so rym teens dont care about it

when will the "le Beatles are le best band of all time!!!" meme end?

My opinion about this albums:

Ok Computer - 9/10
Dark Side Of The Moon - 9/10
The Velvet Underground - hmm. 5/10 probably.
Wish You Were Here - 10/10 or 9.5/10
In the Court Of The Crimson King - 7~8/10, i'm not too sure.
Kid A - 10/10
Abbey Road - 7.5/10. it might grow in me to 8 though, i dunno
Revolver - 5/10, maybe even 4/10. completely mediocre. maybe i will change my opinion though since i haven't heard it a really long time
Loveless - 8/10, maybe it will grow in me someday
Led Zeppelin IV - 8/10 probably, but Stairway To Heaven is being played way way way too much in a very unproportional way.

I think its shitty.
And have the reason, the reason is that many users there dont vote on stuff they hate, this leave stuff that shouldnt be on chart because the guys that know the albums and hated them, never bothered to rate it.

This nullfy the style of voting rym uses, that is called range voting.
By voting only on stuff you like you turn the system into some variant of approval voting system ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting)
and approval voting system is worse than rating system

It's true most people aren't as knowledgeable about music as true music fans like the ones in /mu/, but, ignoring the votes of people in a public site like rym just because "they are not familiar with enough music" is not the right thing to do. everyone should have the same rights when accessing a site like this

But anon, quality is entirely subjective. unless you are making the list by your own, it's almost certain there will be something you won't like in it if other people vote on it. the albums that got to the top 10 of rym are the albums that are perceived as "top quality" albums by the largest amount of people, and that is how the system should be.

how do they decide what order they go in?
you would think average rating would decide it, but tvu&n has a higher rating than okc, and abbey road has a higher rating than tvu&n, but their positions in the chart are the reverse of that
what does it mean
>>
>>60686919
>quality is subjective
No it isn't. You can objectively rate production quality, ideas, lyrics, you can compare it to other artists in their genres

Popular and quality sometimes happens, but more often it does not. Something like Bowie is an example of quality that was mainstream successful. He would not have gotten anywhere in any other time period though. Had he been born today he'd enjoy some success but not become a huge star. Most mainstream/entry level artists are just bad when you start exploring genres properly. They are all just weaker, less well made versions of the better albums out there
>>
>>60686961
They get angry sometimes because of how passionate they are towards music, they see it as a part of their self definition, so whenever someone says he dislikes something they love, some people here find it hard to deal with ~

People here should just relax, and learn to respect each other, and understand that having a large variety of opinion is a positive thing.

>>60686956
idk. i rate albums and save my ratings on a notepad. want me to copy paste my lastest notepad album ratings?
>>
I mean, it's a list created by mass opinion, of course popular releases are going to be at the top

Honestly, the fact that loveless is even there and radiohead is there twice proves what a massive influence /mu/ kiddies and their ilk have. Not that those are bad albums, but if this was more wide-reaching they wouldn't get a look in

It's pretty embarrassing how desperately /mu/ tries to distance itself from RYM. Go into the yearly charts for anything from the past ~15 years and it's literally just a war between prog/metalheads and mu/fantano/p4k drones
>>
it's pretty bad. two radiohead albums in the top 10 sums up my feelings about it exactly. disgusting.

>>60686810
false dichotomy
>>
>>60686994
>You can objectively rate production quality, ideas, lyrics
No you cant, because the selection of criteria for what makes any of those good or better is a subjective choice
>>
>>60686994
Quality of music is entirely subjective because different people perceive "beautiful" differently.

For example, some lo-fi album can be absolute masterpiece in the ears of one person, and for the other person he won't like it because of how lo-fi it is
>>
Ok Computer has a few weak tracks

Kid A is basically the peak of western civilisation though, should be #1

and what exactly is inherently wrong with lo-fi music?

pretty much. I can see why it would be considered to be top 10 of all time because it doesn't delve into more in-depth personal preferences of the listeners.

It's not subjective though, only ignorance influences musical opinions. Someone who can handle an instrument and can produce music has better 'opinions' than some kid who has no musical bone in their body and downloaded Radiohead for
>the feels brah

Also, nobody exists who has listened to tons of albums and still remains at the entry level. They might hold some fondness for the stuff they used to listen to, but you never find people exploring genres returning to Iron Maiden and Linkin Park

>I hate that every website's rankings are decided by the entry level plebs

This is solved with the style of voting called range voting (some other may solve this but I cant remember them at this exact moment), a thing rym use.

With range voting, you can show that you hate the pleb stuff on the chart and so reduce the chance of it being on the chart.
Actually with populatiry come not only the guys that love it but the guys that will discover the band and hate it.
The problem with rym, is that the guys that hate those pleb albums, dont rate them and so you have bullshit on charts because this extreme amount of guys not liking some band will means almost nothing at the end.

the rest of the world dont.

This means poison has some quality as a drink. I mean the amount of people that hate something doenst matter right?

Write down an objective list of the criteria for quality in music then. You'd be the only person in history ever to do so.
>Someone who can handle an instrument and can produce music has better 'opinions' than some kid who has no musical bone in their body
Not necessarily. Look at the fanbases of artists like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen for example. Theyre entirely composed of guitarists who are impressed by/jelly of the technical ability. But the music is shite. Musicians are very often influenced by technical skill in their own instrument to the extent that they end up listening to horrible music.

I did'nt read your comment all the way through because you started swearing and it made me feel comfortable so i just used to hide function. can you please repeat your claims in a post that does not include swears so i can read it without feeling uncomfortable? thanks.

And my claim is absolutely correct.
consider this: quality is an entirely human made thing. there is no such thing as quality without having a human that perceives it as something that has quality. and since the perception of everyone varries and is not the same, quality is a subjective thing.

some people think vegetable soup is absolutely delicious, some think it's not. so what is the quality of vegetable soup? the answer is, that it's determined by the one who ate it, subjectively, and it doesn't have any objective quality

And yet the modifier is that Steve Vai fans haven't listened to any fucking music so the rule is still pretty good

I'd say the major factor is ignorance, less bands listened to = shit taste. Then on average, people who have listened to more music will also have more musical experience aka they will know how things are made even if they don't personally make them

There are always going to be outliers, but not experiencing anything means you are going to have bad taste.

>>60687298
>quality is a human made thing so there's no such thing

When you use IQ and academic history as a replacement for actual intellect and arguments, you're definitely not going to gain any credibility in the eyes of your peers.

Any fool can go through the school system and be called gifted. It's not particularly difficult, and the culture of entitlement that stems from that inevitably turns the children who emerge from that system into self-centered and pretentious nitwits, as they have been appreciated and praised for the most minute and trivial tasks their entire lives.

Wake up kid, the real world is shit and no one cares. Eat or be eaten, that's the rule, and no IQ or report card can stop that
>>
good thread so far
>>
>>60687791
I don't think you realize what context is
"Enlightened" hardly makes a reference to the historical movement of Enlightenment anymore. These days, it's a token belief associated with a blind hatred of the church and of conventional culture with no actual reason or agenda, nothing more.
>>
>>60687874
I was diagnosed as gifted not just by my school, i went to a special institution that is dedicated to diagnosing gifted people - it was needed to get accepted to a gifted class in a boarding school i went to.

And by the way, i fully disagree with your statement about the world. the very fact we exist and can experience beauty and joy at all is utterly amazing.

My honest opinion knowing that all top 10 lists are auctions is that the top 100 drum and bass albums by RYM is a really good list but has alot of artists that should never even be on that list like third eye foundation and cmon fuckin radiohead are u kidding there's so much shit on all those albums, what are music reviewers even doing to evaluate their balance, besides depending harshly on success by when marketing was around before the internet? fuckin waste

>>60687921
Being called gifted doesn't matter. You have to prove it to people, with intelligent arguments and logical points. If you simply whip out your accolades when you appear to be losing an argument, it makes you look desperate and hopelessly arrogant. In addition, we can argue about existence and its implications all you want, but I'm frankly not willing to imprint my inherent pessimism on you for the fear it might shatter your rather endearing and innocent naivete

By some, sure. There are few bands discussed on this board that prove as divisive as a conversation about The Beatles. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. But really few others.

WYWH - 6
ITCOCK - 8

Revolver - 8
Lovless - 5

So RYM users like old british rock bands. Its not really my thing, but the lasting popularity of this stuff says something. Also most rym users are probably english speaking if this is what came out.

people can enjoy things by virtue of this though. hearing how one piece influenced another can be an enjoyable experience

OKC is good.

I know the term is meant to be a meme criticism, but rockist describes it pretty well. It's not that the majority of those albums aren't good enough to potentially deserve a top ten spot (they are,) it's that there are so many equally great albums out there that are ignored because people spend too much time obsessing over rock and ignoring jazz, funk, electronic genres, and pretty much any non-rock genre that's album-oriented outside of a few trendy albums that mostly adhere to rock-y ideas of songwriting.

>>60694554
the funny thing is that i like hip hop, at least some early gangsta rap /before it went to absolute irredeemably garbage) and modern industrial/experimental hip hop, as well as some other rappers i happen to be fond of, but i just find most hip-hop to be dull, and having the musical equivalent to muh production and a hip hop album that is essentially a ''hot'' topic album (although i'd say it's pretty damn decent, although it's doomed by it's lack of timelessness and that alone shouldn't put it that close to the top albums of the decade)
just my opinion though

ugh finally bands i like. i'm wearing my dark side of the moon shirt right now what a freaking coincidence. i wish we had more music like pink floyd here. a band with actually talent instead of that dumb hip hop with loud random fast speaking. blehh i just feel like this forum is missing out on great underrated albums like The Wall and such albums from pink floyd. i tried to listen to that my bloody valentine album but i ended up watching the movie which was kind of worth it but i still haven't heard the album. i think this forum could be great if we all took the time to listen to pink floyd. i'm listening to wish you were here for the first time right now and i can't even control my emotions i'm actually in tears. music has never moved me like this before.
