Do you ACTUALLY belong on /mu/?

If yes, post your top 10 albums of all time (be honest!), followed by your obscurity score.

How can you know your obscurity score? Pretty easy.
1) Go to RYM and write the number of ratings for each of your 10 favorite albums.
2) Write the following formula into google (replacing all the "x"s with the amount of RYM ratings for each album).
(log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x))/10
3) ???
4) PROFIT!

Now, do you ACTUALLY belong on /mu/?
>4.0+
You have to go back >>>/b/
>3.5 to 3.9
/mu/drone, lurk more before posting again.
>3.0 to 3.4
Not a /mu/drone, but you should explore less popular music more.
>2.5 to 2.9
Good taste, you keep /mu/ quality high.
>2.0 to 2.4
Great taste, /mu/ should follow your example.
>0 to 1.9
Awesome taste. Are you sure you didn't cheat though?

>>74323571
Dunno, I'm guessing that OP is thinking about how /mu/ works - to have quality music, a lively board etc. you need to constantly inject new, interesting content, such as more "obscure" music, thus the value of one's taste in the context of symbolic production of this board.

I mean, it's kind of the only way I can understand this coherently outside inane memery

that makes sense actually, i guess if you plugged in 10 classic albums the score would be high despite the albums being good, but if you only listen to classics you can't contribute to expanding peoples tastes much

>>74325865
Man, I don't give a shit about rym. Only go there for the lists, sometimes. Some autists are nice enough to weighten their taste with an objective-looking score system, and perusing them it's always fun. I got the album from a sharethread on here, downloaded it among many others, listened to it and liked it. There's not much more to it, no pretension of obscurity or knowledge of musical theory. It's sounds I like, as all the other albums. Maybe I tricked myself, progressively, into liking this kind of sound over others, for social or cultural capital, internalized prejudices or whatever. Still, I like it, and I don't need anything more.

if you like classical music or for whatever reason have some trash album like some nightcore compliation that no one has listened to in your 10, you will get an incredibly low score

Because it's using an old formula
It's log 10, but you don't need to know because you are being told to input it into google
>a single album with no ratings will cause a singularity
in which case you assume one person (you) has rated it

>>74332105
Log 10. I think which log is being used is irrelevant though.
And the logic behind the formula is to adjust by popularity in a way that's not completely retarded (like lastfm's formula which is basically listeners of artist X / listeners of most listened to artist). Getting a score above 50% is almost impossible that way, and the difference between an artist with 10'000 listeners and 100 listeners is basically none.
The current updated formula is this one
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ptujhbipfc
Just put your Google score into the o formula and the result you get at z tells you how much obscure your taste is compared to /mu/

>>74332174
>if you like classical music
No, because the updated takes into account listeners of a specific artist by last.fm
This thread should be deleted because it's not updated.
>>
>>74332215
>I think which log is being used is irrelevant though
it is if everyone is using the same base, but if I was following OP I probably wouldn't read to closely and would just use Mathematica or my calculator with nat log, so my scores wouldn't be comparable to someone using base 10 on google.
>in which case you assume one person (you) has rated it
not everyone uses RYM though

Doesn't matter. We are using last.fm now though.
>that's real neat, this has been fitted from data in these threads I presume?
Yeah, but I have like 37 scores only, that's too low. I guess I can fix it as time passes by though.
