No. The best record of all time is ITAOTS

>Ok Computer the best record of all time?
>as considered by a very small demographic of people who use the site RYM

[to be quite honest with you it is probably not all that inaccurate]

>>70123429
>35k ratings worldwide
that's a pretty decent sample size

there's never been a good record yet in history

>>70123478

>>70123478
How did you find the time to listen to every album ever recorded?

I just choose to believe there aren't people who believe this, but then I remember there actually are people who unironically believe Radiohead are good.
also

>He believes there is an album post 1975 that can be remotely discussed or seen as one of the greatest albums

>>70123547

>It's reddit to be a contrarian

How can an album be the best of all time when time is still going?

>>70123538
probably kevin gates

>>70123539
i was basically raised by Attila the Hun

>>70123620
>hip hop
kill yourself

>>70123611
Damn...

That's not pet sounds

>>70123639
>he thinks kevin gates is hip hop

you probably don't even know the kevin gates i'm talking about. i'm talking about my younger brother, who used the name first

>>70123466
>that's a pretty decent sample size
Lmao what?

That's the size of my town

It definitely has mass appeal in a way that some other cult classic don't. However, I think sites like RYM have a really heavy indie sort of bias, I still think the best record ever objectively is pet sounds of revolver or the queen is dead.

>>70123669
do you even statistics?

Is Acclaimedmusic right? Is Pet Sounds the best record of all time?

Yes.

>>70123654
this.

Pet Sounds is the greatest album of all time

>>70123664
link me to your brother's music then

>>70123692
>objectively

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK ANON

i miss how dumb /mu/ is

It's bland enough to be accepted by everyone. I bet Dark Side Of The Moon is in the top 10, too.

>>70123699
Yeah, do you? 35,000 people? That isn't shit.

Step out of the echo chamber.

>>70123704
Cringe list. Looks like a twelve year old made it

>>70123713
he's never recorded anything i don't think. idk he started smoking meth when he was like 13 but some of the shit he used to make when he was 8 was fire, probably the closest i've come to actually enjoying music, been downhill ever since

>>70123704
Pet sounds is just on a different level. The little nuances you hear in the background just feel... heavy, really heavy.

>>70123728
Utterly disgusting anon.

Get patrician opinions.

pet sounds or TVU&N

>>70123699
Statistics would tell you that 2% of a total population is a reasonable sample size. 35k isn't even 2 percent of my country, and I'm in small-ass Canada.

>>70123800
this is going to be good

please explain objectivity

>>70123699
35k = 7bil

Really gets the neurones pumping

>>70123835
There's a correct way to play the guitar.

Boom, music is objective

OK Computer was not intended as a punk album, but it became the best punk album of the 1990s. It was the biggest middle finger to musical convention in every way. It's the sound of an audio rebellion, a christening of the million million indie bands it inspired. It dared to say that everything was wonderful, but not everything was O.K., and that our lives were slipping out of our hands even as we had more control over them. It's a parallax simulacrum of modern life oxymoronic.

35k is decent sample size for a 90% confidence level against the earth population
if we did it by demographics I bet the results would be even more relevant to US/Europe
you guys don't know shit

>>70123307
I don't even think its the best radiohead album. It's p.good, but I don't think it sniffs top 10

>>70123887
where is this copypasta from?

>>70124013
the internet

DUDE MODERN LIFE IS KILLING ME LMAO

>>70123611
Wouldn't that include time that is still going though? So it will infinitely be the best

>>70124013
i just wrote it

Im sure most people on RYM don't even think it's the best album of all time, but it makes sense that it's the number one spot. It has the perfect combination of being a really good album, being popular enough to get a lot of ratings, and being recent enough to still be relatable/relevant.
>>70123429
But it is targeting the right demographic. We could ask every person in the world what the best record of all time is and would get a lousy answer because most people don't like music enough to even listen to full albums. RYM is a much better sample because it targets people who care enough about music to join a website solely to rate albums, so you get a more educated answer. This is also due to the RYM system of weighing people who have more ratings more heavily than people who have few ratings.

>>70123937
>I attended one statistics lecture
It might be an ok sample size if it was polled from the entire album-listening population of the earth, but RYM membership is heavily skewed towards English-speaking, rock-listening millennials who follow independent music publications. So it's already useless for determining the best anything of all time

It's safe to assume that if we took a poll of /mu/, OK Computer would win. Or itaots
