What you regard as "the best performance" is almost entirely subjective. Sure there are objective factors such as sloppy playing, lack of balance, etc., but what it ultimately boils down to is how you personally vision the piece and how accurately a recording fits your vision.

uh i'd think you'd be pretty sure that your favorite albums are high quality regardless of how obscure they are, if they're your favorite albums

>It also means you have an open minded musical taste
not necessarily. you can dig down into the deepest obscurities of, say, a particular genre, and still be completely closed off to anything outside that genre. likewise, you can have the most basic entry-level knowledge, but still enjoy all sorts of strange and obscure music that other people might rec you, for instance

>>74255700
>>"good taste" = "listens to music that is good"
>common misconception but this is not true
this is actually a really good point. like, if someone exclusively listened to pink floyd, the beatles, and radiohead - all very well-known/entry-level bands. one may consider those bands good (maybe you don't but we're saying they are for this example), but if that's all they know, or worse yet, all they like even after listening to other stuff. so yeah i agree with you here and you have educated me

Yes, but you get the idea. Those obscure albums ended in the top 10 because of merit, against all the odds.
>not necessarily.
>you can dig down into the deepest obscurities of, say, a particular genre, and still be completely closed off to anything outside that genre.
I would argue their taste would be good if they are competent at their specific niche, regardless if they are close minded. But it's a fair point anyways.

>likewise, you can have the most basic entry-level knowledge, but still enjoy all sorts of strange and obscure music that other people might rec you, for instance
If your obscurity score is high then I highly doubt it.

>>74256724

Every song except for one has a very intense climax, and it's fun all the way. Mindblowing stuff, and pretty innovative sense of rhythm as well.

demeaning others for having a higher score is retarded

>>74257819
>demeaning others for having a higher score is retarded
It's not. It means they haven't explored less popular music, and that hurts the board's quality (which is already low).

>>74257818
It took like 60 seconds...

>>74257817
Weird. Do you browse /mu/ regularly? Doesn't seem like it.

>>74257788

Or, maybe, they prefer stuff that happens to be more popular

>>74257819
>obscurity =/= quality
right, but not to the 16 year olds here
in case you haven't noticed this entire thread and most of mu is just a pissing race about who has the most "cultured"/"developed" taste. most of the people here get basically jack shit out of music for its actual content. it's all about the fucking image on this garbage board.
>>74257837
>It's not. It means they haven't explored less popular music
but that's wrong you idiot

>>74257859
In other words, they don't have a taste of their own and just listen to what gets hyped on here.
They wouldn't have that taste if they actually cared to explore about music.

>>74257867
>but that's wrong you idiot
It's not. People who actually listen to less popular music end up having some less popular stuff as their favorites.

>>74257706
I think you're overestimating his influence. Let's go down his top 10:
1. TMR is pretty well-known, it's even in the Rolling Stone best albums list, and people like Matt Groening say that it's their favorite album.
2. Robert Wyatt was a member of Soft Machine, the most famous band of the Canterbury Scene. His solo work would be known just from that.
3. Faust is one of the best-known krautrock bands.
4. and 5. Obviously would be extremely well known without Scaruffi.
6. Popol Vuh scored a lot of the films of Werner Herzog (a very well-known director).
7. Pere Ubu were extremely influential in the development of post-punk (a very popular genre among those who like rock music).
8. I will give you this one, they would be pretty obscure without Scaruffi.
9. John Fahey's popularity is probably more due to Scaruffi than most of the rest of the list but he's still a pretty big deal among guitarists.
10. Nico would be popular just because of TVU&N.

Now, I'm not saying Scaruffi didn't play a role in making these albums better known among people who use rym. But if Scaruffi never existed and I plugged his albums into that algorithm I doubt I'd score below a 3.

Music taste is subjective so this really didn't matter

>>74257878
how does it feel to know that /mu/ is all you have you pathetic trip? serious question. you are completely socially inept and i'm sure that most of the human interaction you go through with is through this board. you're jaded.

>>74257867
i actually enjoy listening to music and enjoy others who share my passion

>>74257892
>Music taste is subjective so this really didn't matter
music knowledge however is objective and your taste should reflect that. Opinions dont come out of the sky

>>74257886
I'm not denying that those albums would be well known without him, I'm just saying Scaruffi boosted their popularity, that's all. Also, the guy made his list a few decades ago, that certainly has some merits (I know you already said something similar, but meh).
I think a score of 3 would be about right for Scaruffi.

>>74257899
Eh, I have more than just /mu/. In fact, I stopped going to /mu/ for like a whole year and only started posting again (for a short time) for about a week ago.

where x is his score
the goal is to get it as close to 1 as possible
if he didn't rate it that means you're extra-patrician or something and can just leave it out of the formula

>>74257903
i didn't say everyone here. "most" is actually an overstatement admittedly. it's more like a fifth of the people on this board, though in threads like this or in chart threads it's 50/50 probably, because that gives them a platform to circlejerk about how obscure their taste is

>>74257878
How the fuck do you know that? Maybe they have explored obscure music, but still like popular stuff because they don't give a shit about image or an autistic "obscurity score"

>People who actually listen to less popular music end up having some less popular stuff as their favorites.
Because you, a single person on /mu/, are representative of every other person who browses /mu/ and listens to obscure music.

>>74257964
just ignore him, he has autism

>>74257946
wtf, no way you got 3.4 with that taste...
I mean, I believe it, but shit, your taste belongs at 3.5+

>>74257964
>How the fuck do you know that?
Because if you actually listened to stuff that's not popular, eventually some would become your favorites. It's definitely not a coincidence when you have Radiohead, Beatles and other /mu/core in your top 10.

>Because you, a single person on /mu/, are representative of every other person who browses /mu/ and listens to obscure music.
From my experience browsing threads such as /charts/ I have seen that people with /mu/core top 10 tend to have /mu/core top 100, and it's evident from there that they don't actually listen to stuff that's not popular.

its ok it's better better than just doing the top 10 on RYM (1.42)
also for reference scruff's actual top 10 would yield 3/9.5+7/9=1.09

Do you have some form of high functioning autism?

Eh, I wouldn't bother dividing with that, it's an extra bothersome step that doesn't add much.

>>74258182
It punishes you for popularity, so that's fine. If your favorites happen to beat those popular albums, then you have some confidence you discovered actually good (arguably better) stuff (compared to the popular ones).

>tfw ascended
YES

>>74258212
post the final score though... It's probably around 4.0, but still.

>>74258199
That's meaningless, the only reason to do this autistic calculation is to see what Scruffy thinks of your taste, if you have a lot of albums he doesn't even know then he obviously wouldn't be able to judge it.

>>74252795
op doesn't this work in the opposite?

doesn't someone who's taste is so obscure that /mu/core discourse is beneath them need to leave?

doesn't someone who's taste is so basic they could use some new discoveries need to stay?

>>74258276
>op doesn't this work in the opposite?
Nope.
>doesn't someone who's taste is so obscure that /mu/core discourse is beneath them need to leave?
It means they need to help the board and keep quality up, like I mentioned in the OP.
>doesn't someone who's taste is so basic they could use some new discoveries need to stay?
You are right, that's why I'm saying in the OP that they should lurk more (or get out if they have irredeemable taste).

>>74258276
>doesn't someone who's taste is so obscure that /mu/core discourse is beneath them need to leave?
no you need them to display what it means to have musical knowledge
>doesn't someone who's taste is so basic they could use some new discoveries need to stay?
thats why they'll lurk.

You should listen to more Stevie wonder, he is a truly exceptional keyboardist, drummer, singer, and songwriter. I mean just listen to the bridge on living for the city or the unstoppable force that is the groove on the second half of ordinary pain

Skip the first two tracks on innervisions and go back and listen to them later. The wombo combo that is the next four tracks will surely win you over. As for songs in the key the first side is better than the second, I would replace contusion with the live version its way better. Fulfillingness is, imo his best album and saddest. Talking book is very consistent as well

Not really. One album alone doesn't do much to lift up the score. You are lucky though, you kind of "cheated" (not intentionally) the formula, because RYM doesn't have much ratings for The Pillows who are pretty popular nor that specific Bill Evans recording (too specific from an artists with so many recordings). Other than those and Titas/SheHerHerHers, your taste would be about 3.5+

And before you ask, yeah i am autistic for calculating this and i should prob do something better with my life

>>74258576
Mouse on the Keys is definitely pulling the whole thing down as well, it actually has less ratings than the pillows.

>>74258581
glad pop can stay desu

>>74258592
True. That's far from his most popular album which has like 700 ratings. But well, the formula is not perfect I guess. Similar case here >>74258581
Some of those artists don't have much ratings because of RYM's lack of interest in them, so they end up being more obscure than they actually are.
Because of this, you have to wonder if those two posters are /mu/ regulars or something.

>>74258634
What the fuck are you talking about, I'm talking about this album: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/mouse-on-the-keys/the-flowers-of-romance/, not the Public Image Ltd one.

I'm talking about that album too. The artist's most popular album has 600 ratings.

>>74258587
been meaning to watch that one for ages, i'll get on that soon now, thanks my patrician /mu/ friend

>>74258699
I failed reading comprehension, actually. Yeah, I'm that guy. /mu/ regular, actually, though more of a /ck/ and /tg/ dude. To be fair, Titãs is probably on the same level as the pillows in their country of origin, just doesn't have penetration outside Brazil whatsoever.

It's a surprisingly entry level thing but at the same time it's also not, because the pillows has little penetration here, and so does Titãs. She Her Her Hers and Mouse on the Keys aren't popular at all, then it's a gradual increase in popularity reaching its zenith with Revolver that just stands head and shoulders above everyone else. There are some that definitely aren't leaving that any time soon (Quadrophenia and Revolver are probably my top 2 albums as a whole), while others will depend on how deep do I explore the genres.

>>74252795

From my experience browsing chart threads, people have top 10s that correlate with their top 100s regarding obscurity.

Yeah, because they think they listen to less popular stuff but they actually don't.

>>74260325
Thank you anon, that means a lot to me.
But how come high? I mean, the categories above seem alright, with the exception that some people can get an artificially low score (not the other way around though), but I guess that can be fixed by using LastFM instead of RYM.
Also, I'm always right when it comes to prog c:<

>>74260351
t. plebeian who started browsing /mu/ 3 months ago

>>74260361
Because music doesn't sound obscure, so people react the same way to music if it's popular or obscure.

>>74260389
Most IOSYS stuff is pretty simple, but their Denpa Collection albums (and Hyper Denpa) are something completely different. Mind blowing stuff.

>>74260390
but, what if someone's favorites are all relatively popular releases and even upon listening to plenty of "obscure" albums their taste remains the same, is what i'm asking.
>people react the same way to music if it's popular or obscure.
this is simply not true. people react to art in many different ways and the context behind how they are introduced to the music and what they are expecting, as well as how the music is described beforehand can have a significant impact on the listener's opinion.

Is this a trick question? Albums I listen to aren't on RYM.

>>74260438
That doesn't happen. Surely it could in theory, but I have never seen such a thing. Odds are if you actually listen to less popular stuff, you will end up liking some of it. Obscure music isn't of lower quality than popular, you should know that already.

>>74260450
In which case assume it has 1 rating. If it's a classical release, choose the number of ratings of the most popular recordings of your favourite compositions multiplied by two.

2.94201351764

>>74260390
The gatekeeping thing is more that while I fully agree that people ought to lurk more just in general, I do think that there should be a more widespread discussion on how to get started - flowcharts being an interesting way of doing this, but also chart threads. Even just getting beyond /mu/core is kind of difficult, especially when you want to get into a genre.

>>74260473
>Obscure music isn't of lower quality than popular
beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. again, a listener's experience can be molded and shaped in completely different ways depending on the context regarding their exposure to the artist.

>>74260484
I guess. The thing is charts and flowcharts further promote this stagnation. You have flowcharts for Radiohead and Zappa etc for example, and genre flow charts aren't very good.
I have been thinking of making some charts of best rock albums and best music in general (with the idea of bests being most original with the intention of reaching the higher diversity possible with the fewest albums), but I still haven't started.
Now, Patriciancore charts are a great idea. The only charts I believe are truly helpful. Check them out if you haven't.

>>74260509
Okay, if they think lower of an album because it's obscure then their taste is irredeemable shit and we are back to what I have been saying.

No, I fucking don't. I hate this board! I am far too old to be here and I have been ever since I first came here. It is clear that the average /mu/tant is ~17 years old (and on top of that American) and the kind of music discussed here reflects that. But you know how it is, we can't leave.

Check out the Patrician core charts. Also, browse /daily/ and RYM profiles of respectable users at RYM. herkyjerky is pretty accessible and experimental at the same time for example.

>Okay, if they think lower of an album because it's obscure then their taste is irredeemable shit and we are back to what I have been saying.
what if someone thinks higher of an album because it's obscure? what if someone thinks lower of an album because it's popular, as you seem to do? i think you have trouble grasping the idea that music can be like any other possession. there can be all sorts of feelings and thoughts attached to it for the listener. memories brought back of old friends, or thoughts brought back from a not so great time in someone's life. for example, the album posted here was my favorite album when i was much younger. i listen to it now and i notice many flaws with it, but i still find it a very enjoyable experience, because it brings me back quite some time, to a period which i now look back at with positive sentiments.
basically, what i am saying here is that listening to music is a deeply personal experience for some people, and that it can change how a work is thought of completely.

>>74253452
What did you rate NO NOW?

>>74260570
Thank you.

>>74254814
>Doesn't matter. You are rating the composition, otherwise it would be very easy for classical listeners to get a low score.
That only seems fair.

>>74260611
Get off of 4chan and dig deep into genres you like via last.fm, rym, discogs, wikipedia, youtube and soulseek. Learn about the musicians and their other projects, their influences, etc. Listen to a lot of bad obscure music to find the gems in between. You'll need a lot of time and patience.

It's 1 of 4 of my 5/5's. Don't have that many ratings though; like ~200.

I know. I didn't tell him his taste is shit, just that the reasoning behind it doesn't excuse people with shit taste from having shit taste. It's not a literal "you" what I said in the last line, but a you referring to whoever applies that statement.

This is fucking stupid anyways, music isn't better because it's more obscure. If I wanted to I could have easily dumped 10+ albums that I like but aren't necessarily my favorites that I guarantee would leave the majority of retards obsessed with obscurity here scratching their heads.
Listen to what you like because it's good, not because nobody else does.

no you don't. your life revolves around being superior and having the "better" anything all of the time. you have a really shitty way of looking at art and you have a really shitty way of communicating with people.

>>74257964
I was just like you a while back. I had made a post very similar to this in a chart or collage thread because I thought I had genuinely good taste because I had listened to a couple noise compilations, had just started exploring footwork, and liked Xiu Xiu. The truth is everyone has their own unique sensibilities and if you look deep enough you will find music that seems made specifically for you. Others might nit have picked up on it and it may not have gained much traction but now that you have found it you're life is greatly enriched because you've found something that checks all of you boxes. The fact that it's obscure doesn't really add to it and if you truly love it you'll want others to know about it so you won't feel alone in liking this album you think is perfect. Keep looking, anon. You'll find that perfect album that will break you. I know I'm still looking.

What's so surprising about here? Obscure tastes are only impressive if they are honest.
>Listen to what you like because it's good, not because nobody else does
Exactly, but if you listen to what you like and that happens to be obscure, then it turns out you have great taste.

>>74260940

you make it 0 - because that is literally the number of reviews it has

>>74263727
That's the funny thing. Since this uses RYM as a source the score tells you how much of a /mu/drone you are, so non /mu/ users can get a lower score than /mu/ users for listening to more popular stuff. Therefore I plan on fixing this by using LastFM instead of RYM.

>>74263826
Reviews are irrelevant. If you use 0 you undefine the formula. So use 1 instead. If you use 1, you get a 0 obscurity score for the album.
