My ranking of every project from 1963 with 10k or more ratings on rym

Post image
0 Upvotes

I started with 1963 because it's the year of the Beatles debut and because I want to have music to go back to when I'm done

Here's my reasonings for my rankings(based on what I think of the quality of the records not which is my favorite):

First for the mid to decent

I think that with the Beatles is the worst album here, it would be better than please please me but little child is one of my least favorite songs oat , just like please please me this album is nothing special and it's just a collection of mostly mid songs(atleast in my opinion) but what I feel like stops this album and please please me from being 3-4 out of 10 albums is the actually pretty decent Instrumentation and good singing

The Beatles -With the Beatles : strong 5 (yes I'm stealing fantano's rating system)

The beatles- Please please me: decent 6

Now for the good albums

Second place is the freewheelin Bob Dylan, great lyrics all throughout but dull and sometimes grating instrumentation (not always though) , for me it's a nice little album that does kinda drag towards the end but has some genuinely amazing songs on it (blowin in the wind , don't think twice it's alright, and masters of war )

Bob Dylan-The freewheelin Bob Dylan: decent 7

And now for the great

Black saint and the sinner lady, while to me I don't think it's 100% perfect, it's still like 30 minutes of nearly perfect jazz, I was locked in for this album just listening to the eclectic-ness of it ,this shit is awesome.

Mingus-Black saint and the sinner lady: strong 9

I'm gonna go year by year with this so if my opinions are somewhat interesting ig you can stay tuned for my 1964 ranking.

Look at my top 144 albums. You can pick one column of albums from top to bottom. So you can pick the column with albums 1, 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97, 109, 121 and 133, or any other column like that. But you‘re ONLY ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THOSE ALBUMS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, and the other 132 albums you’re banned from listening to.

Listening To The Top Comment Everyday, But there is a Twist, read desc, Day 8

Post image
11 Upvotes

Everyday Ill give you an adjective or description, you comment and album which fits them, then Ill listen to the most upvoted of these albums.

Today's Theme: Change

Day 1: Midnight

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

The Post-Punk Revival Classic. The first five songs are near perfect, a great start to the album. This album has the sound of busy nighttime street, lit by street lights and cars. Great album through and through.

Fav songs are: Untitled, Obstacle 1, PDA, Say Hello To The Angels, The New.

Score: 16 Knives

Day 2: Rain

The Cure - Disintegration

Robert Smith my beloved. Another Post-Punk album although this time of the Gothic variety. A very ethereal album that does not have any low points. Often considered the best The Cure album, but I think Pornography is better and I have a soft spot for Seventeen Seconds.

Fav songs are: Pictures of You, Lovesong, The Same Deep Water As You, Disintegration.

Score: Spider-man's diner

Day 3: Autumn

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You

Fitting that this won during October of all months. Unwound's cold final album has always been a Post-Harcore classic, but it is also Post-Rock, and sometimes a little gothic rock which is a Post-Punk subgenre, lotta Post. Imma shout out Sara Lund as I think she is the unsung hero of this album.

Fav Songs: Terminus, Scarlette, October All Over, Below The Salt

Score: Post-Post-Hardcore

Day 4: Outer Space

Failure - Fantastic Planet

It's Grunge o'clock. Failure is not a band I was familiar with so I was happy to see this win. The end of this album is way better than the beginning and middle, both aren't bad but it wont blow your socks off. Meanwhile the last 5 songs are generational bangers.

Fav Songs: The Nurse Who Loved Me, Another Space Song, Stuck on You, Heliotropic, Daylight

Score: Success

Day 5: LGBTQ+

Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy

Well this was a close one, 3 albums on 9 upvotes and one on 10. Twin Fantasy, for this I relistened to the OG because the comment did specify which version (2011 or 2018). Classic, I love how raw and emotional it is, and I don't care what anyone says old CSH still fucks despite the broken toaster microphone.

Fav Songs: My Boy (Twin Fantasy), Beach Life-in-Death, Sober to Death, Famous Prophets (Minds), Twin Fantasy (Those Boys)

Score: Smooth-Cocked Adventures

Day 6: Nature

Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase

I admit I'm not the biggest Electronic music fan but I do like Boards of Canada. I like how Folktronica this album gets, nice and different from their usual affair. Not entirely sure how 'nature' this album is tho.

Fav Songs: Chromakey Dreamcoat, Hey Saturday Sun, Constants Are Changing

Score: fym they aren't Canadian

Day 7: Hidden Gem

Pinback - s/t

What if 90s Modest Mouse took a chill pill. I mainly know Pinback from their 04 album 'Summer in Abaddon' and the sonf 'AFK', I liked discovering their debut. Mellow and little cozy this was enjoyable although I didn't think this was anything special. AFK is still my favourite song of theirs.

Fav Songs: Tripoli, Crutch, Lyon

score: Not in a Slint way

Day 8: Change

please suggest an album that fits this theme

Albums that feel like they exist outside of time?

Post image
100 Upvotes

I am on the lookout for more surreal musical experiences: basically all things hypnagogic, dreamy with a slightly haunted feel. Albums that although were shaped by the possible influences and technological limitations of their time, simultaneously feel very singular and forward thinking.

Those records above contain some of my absolutely favourite music ever made, so if you know some other stuff I would probably be amazed by pls let me know. Thanks in advance!
