Start with /mu/-core but avoid the swans record for a while (since it's 2 hours long, I would recommend either MPP or Kid A/Ok Computer) depending of what you like you go to either sub-mu core (p4k stuff) or classics/metal/jazz.

>2-3 years, its difficult to remember.
I've listened to half of Remain in Light though I didn't want to spoil the rest of the album by not being in the mood (you only get one first listen, as I'm sure many here are aware). I've been going through the chart slowly listening through the discographies of each artist rounding usually 20 play-throughs of each album (albeit with some exceptions with my earlier ventures into music). The length of Swans' albums has always put me off listening to them as has their immense discography and so it will be a long time before I try one of their albums.

Got into this stuff from hearing of Montreal tracks in old RCT3 troll videos, shame they've been deleted though they were surely the day.

>>72445484
I'd recommend trying Nine Inch Nails, I'd put them off for a long time until recently and they blew my mind, not the Sonic OC levels of edgyness that I thought it would be, still very on the nose though the tracks are addictive as fuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEWdjtMmqGo

>>72445271
I really, really loved it, though I did prefer Dream Loss. I've listened through all of Grouper's music. Thanks for the recommendations.

Red is listened to completely, blue is in my library but either I haven't listened to it or just a few tracks. Been mostly lurking for around 3 years on and off. Sorry for the shit paint job

>>72445580
Thanks for the rec, is there a good starting point with NIN

>>72445888
Its probably best to go through chronologically, Pretty Hate Machine is very catchy as a whole whilst still maintaining the industrial elements that are key to the band (fun fact, despite being a band, Trent Reznor has been the only official member up until 2016 with the inclusion of Atticus Ross, the "band" mainly being for live performances). I can imagine though that the album lengths, especially for The Fragile and Ghosts I-IV are pretty daunting - so if you want something shorter that will give you a good idea of their music as a whole then I'd recommend trying their recent EP, Not the Actual Events, which clocks in just over 20 minutes.

I'll check it out, really not a fan of midwest emo for the most part but 10 minutes can't hurt

>>72445805
The three albums you haven't listened to from the classics section are some of the best on there, Third Ear Band in particular. Also you might like Lanquidity

>>72446323
I don't really care about emo
Also I think I might have listened to it years ago but I'm not 100% sure so I didn't cross it off

the antlers, eliot smith, joanna newsom-ys are all pretty well loved albums on mu so maybe check them out

check out the sigur ros album

if youve never listened to any of their albums its definitely worth checking out radiohead

Green=Constantly played
Yellow=On my library, tolerable
Red=Disliked, erased from my computer
Rest= Haven't heard

Can't remember how much time, but Slanted and Enchanted and I think Weezer were somewhere in the top 10 of the essentials. Death Grips and Kanye weren't there.

Also, I never really pursued the essentials.

>>72444168

Which one is better to start off?

the longest, it's actually more simple

>>72444295
>Tabula Rasa in classics
>no other classical recordings anywhere on the chart, not even Music for 18 Musicians or any of the other memeclassical /mu/ talks about
This confuses me

>>72448175
And which one is the longest? Because >>72444168 has 40 rows total of 400 albums and >>72444295 has 42 rows total of 420 albums.

>>72448218
Oops, I meant 35 rows with 420 albums in the second one.

Its another altered version, this chart came before it and even that one is slightly altered. My assumption is that someone wanted to enforce their taste on others and change the charts low key to suit their needs, quite annoyingly.

>>72448218
400

>>72448236
I mean it really looks like just a compilation of critically acclaimed albums with some RYM favorites splashed in, doesn't really seem like anyone's particular taste.

>>72448218
yeah but >>72444168 often has multiple albums by the same artist, the cover art that's used in the chart is just the most iconic

>>72448236
>grimes
>more death grips other than TMS
>sunbather still there
>macintosh plus
>mac de marco
might as well put Jason Aldean, K Pop and Pink Guy if we're going to include every /mu/ meme in existence

>>72448457
That's what I thought, though at least they are talked about, I mean, I've never even heard of Third Ear Band until this thread.

>>72448484
Most of the entries are fine, most of them are not my thing, but I can appreciate their contribution to either contemporary music or the development of the board, standard /mu/ selection. But Grimes, Sunbather and Macintosh Plus are downright jokes.

The asymmetry of those crosses and their lack of alignment trigger the heck out of me (coming from someone who used crudely drawn lines to cross out theirs), glad to see someone using the same chart though. Try USA, its a 40~ minute album that is pretty extraordinary.

>>72449507
Now that I look at it, you should really slow down at the speed you're going through this (unless you knew about those prior to /mu/), you want to explore the bands discographies and reduce the risk of burning out on music as much as possible.
