Is RYM right? Is Ok Computer the best album of all-time?

top 100 of rym is pretty awful, but still better than most of the shit on the internet (rolling stone, nme etc.)
>>
>>64651702
that whole chart is bs, how do you even rank music on a list like that. it makes no sense
>>
the best album that week?
>>
>>64651702
It just happens to be the most popular and highly rated album on the site, neither of which should be an indicator of whether or not an album is bad or not. Only you can decide that.
>>
>>64651742
>it makes no sense

I mean, it's pretty damn simple

The charts get too much hate, they're pretty good for people trying to get into music
>>
>paranoid android = album
the website is shit
>>
>>64651736
but you can search based on genres and as ranked as my friends.
best thing on the site.
>>
>>64651702
The more people rate an album, the more the percentage of total plebs and normies among them.

OK Computer is like "I like music": the album. The fact that it's followed immediately by Dark Side of The Moon on the list draws a parallel between the two. OK Computer was a platinum seller which explains the positive bias it gets form critics. Without it, it'd probably be way lower.

Most other albums on the RYM list are just top 100 darlings like VU, Rolling Stone/Crhistgau memes like Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, P4K memes like Arcade Fire and so on and so forth.

>>64652498
genre search is k i guess but for niche genre it's shit : only music selected by people not knowing anything about it.

ie. : drum and bass tops being amon tobin and squarepusher (hey let's even put aphex twin while we're at it !)
>>
>>64651702

The only reason Ok Computer is on no.1 is because more people rated it than Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd has a higher rating so it's (by that standards) better but rated by fewer people so it's number 2.

The system is dumb if you want to find out which album is the best.

Pro tip: there is no best album

Why did you stop using a name but continue to shitpost as much as usual using the same trip code?
>>
90's kids happened

>>64652997

>>64653174
Yeah, but some Charles Mingus albums are rated over a 4.3. I think they're better than OKC, but most likely don't, and that's why the weighting exists
>>
>>64653896
what a qt kt

>>64651788
Naw, only you can decide if you like an album or not. People with experience/taste/knowledge can determine how good it is.
