Uh, is there a reason that these are the rankings? I just discovered

Uh, is there a reason that these are the rankings? I just discovered RYM and am not familiar with the userbase, but I seriously doubt any sane person would rank Radiohead higher than... any of these albums. Like, is there some rigging going on?

Every website of popular culture based on rating is shit..
pic relate is the rym of literature
>>
>>71993098
There's a lot to do with weighting of rankings and number of rankings and other things beyond just the raw score each has. They don't make all of it known in case of rigging, but they have recently done something to boost the rankings of more recent albums and hip-hop albums.

Radiohead is a great band tbqh famalam

rym is more underground

>>71993098
I dont think there's a single radiohead album worse than wish you were here
>>
>>71993257
Yeah, fair enough. But seriously? ITCOTCK? TVU&N?
>>
>>71993172
At least they got OOTP being the best HP book right

Some people have different tastes than your's
Get used to it

Goodreads is absolutely embarassing though
RYM's list has a couple of great albums and all of them are at the very least good. Goodreads is just trash upon trash
>>
>>71993098
Have you listened to OKC?

Also, I find rym scores generally very fair.

>Radiohead, one of the most popular and critically acclaimed bands of all time gets ranked very high on RYM.
>Radiohead gets ranked high by users because it's accessible music that normies and music fans can listen to and both get enjoyment from it.

Man, there is some serious rigging going on guys.
>>
>>71993681
Yes because Goodreads is populated by SJWS and teenagers, which is why every trash young adult novel gets 5/5.

RYM is literally no better than this. In fact this list is better because it has Pride and Prejudice, which is recognized as a literary classic. The RYM list has no music that is regarded as highly, just pseudo-avant pop stuff

OK Computer and Kid A are probably the best albums out of those 6 though
>>
>>71993098
>fucking radopleb above vu&n

yeah this will never not piss me off. but then again the majority of RYM users are 16-20 so radiohead being praised so much makes sense

Note the "or"

>Like, is there some rigging going on?


NOPE

The problem is that there are many guys there that dont rate what they hate.

As some example under same condition and on a site where people vote for best president, hittler would win since his fans would rate him with 88/100 and others that hate him wouldnt rate hittler
I also found strange that pink floyd, radiohead... and those mainstream bands would be at the top of the chart, I assumed that with fame you would bring the haters, but many dont rate what they hate, so this happens.
An solution to the problem is to weight your score based at the amount of albums you rated, or maybe based at the average amount of albums you rated per month

WTF are you talking about, range voting is one of the best voting systems ever.

This method you talk about is approval voting:
"if like the band get +1, you dont the band get +0. You can like as many bands as you want and the one with most points is the winner."

Range voting is better approval voting.
>>
>>71995691
It isn't in the same sense as a book like Pride and Prejudice

>>71995698
It's a classic of rock music, which isn't saying much in the grand scheme of things
>>
>>71995633
Bruh imbd and goodreads are fucking awful. I consider rym a great and varied top 200 for a wide consensus.
>>
>>71993098
Put Kid A at number 1 and OK Computer at number 2 and you've got a much more accurate list
>>
>>71993098
WTF!? King Crimson at number 6??? This is a joke!! It shouldn't even make the top 100!
>>
>>71995612
>An solution to the problem is to weight your score based at the amount of albums you rated, or maybe based at the average amount of albums you rated per month

RYM does this
There are no problems with RYM charts

>>71996236
>too obvious to be bait
>not funny enough to be a joke
what the hell are you aiming for with this, some sort of gay double reversal proto-irony?
>>
Actually, the higest-rated album (with a large number of ratings, at least) is The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Radiohead is only at the top because they're both critically acclaimed and listened to by almost everyone.
>>
>>71996236
Top 100 of plebbery, then.
>>
>>71994950
Stfu
>>
>>71996567
pretty sure scruffles gave that a 10/10. Charles Mingus confirmed GOAT.
suck it radioplebs
>>
>>71995612
When you rate an album negatively you are still helping the album. Higher number of votes helps albums move up the chart. Unless you make your rating like a .5 or something.

I bet if we have this thread again we'll get something out of it. Just one more time.
