Besr chart here by far

Filtered yea it is
Yeah I’m new to music and only drone off rym and Any Forums, idc about being obscure or unique all I care about is listening to stimulating music

Don't get me wrong, it's a fine album, but the Krautrock chart on RYM places it far above Tago Mago, which is just wrong.

abelian 2.0

This board need more people with this mentality, people here care a lot about originality instead of quality and that is reflected in the chart threads as well
A lot of people just shit on charts because it is RYM-core or scaruffi-core regardless if the chart has good albums or not
And the worst part is that people exaggerate with that, I have seen people that their taste doesn't have too much to do with scaruffi, but just because they have faust, twin infinitives and a few scaruffi 9s in his chart they count as scaruffi-drones

You’re right they should be neck and neck
Really I don’t have a strong opinion on which ones better, atm I prefer future days and think it’s more complex and detailed as well as more enjoyable to listen to, but I haven’t listened to tago mago in full in a while
What does that mean

Same attitude for me. I enjoy wacky fun psych stuff for the most part. There's some Any Forums core here and there, but if I like an album, I like it

I don't know. The chart threads typically feature the same conglomerate of artists, which are really good, but I wish people branched out and explored derivative genres or even just explore an artists discography. If someone has Popol Vuh, it's usually always Hosianna Mantra. Same thing with other bands like Yes (Closer to the Edge), De La Soul (3 Feet High and Rising), Siouxsie (JuJu). It feels kind of pointless after a while when everyone is just listening to the same things everyone else does on here without looking elsewhere. It's fine to use RYM and Scaruffi, but they should serve as a bouncing off point to different avenues.

Because people's favorite albums on here are just their favorite albums from certain critics instead of finding out for themselves. If you've heard enough music the only thing that makes you disqualified from being a critic is just connections and writing skill. I can tell when something is good regardless if it's bolded or not on RYM. I don't care that some idiot with Tyler The Creator and Radiohead in their 5s gives one of my favorite albums 3 stars on RYM.

While I agree with the sentiment that people should listen to more things of the band/artist if they liked an album of said band that much and that having charts with the same albums over and over again is boring, sometimes the most boring answer is the correct answer, I'm not saying that they are correct for having the most acclaimed album of the band as their favourite, but I'm sure that there are people who listened to all or at least most of the discographies of a band and still think that their most popular is their best (for example, me sometimes)
Also, isn't the point of the chart thread give your opinion and recommendation of a chart? There should be more post about "What do you like so much about X album? I think it's overrated" and "Get into X band discography if you haven't already" and less post about shitting on a chart for the sake of shitting on a chart

I don't usually participate in those threads. I just glean what I can and listen to things I see that seem interesting. If it's from a genre I'm unfamiliar with, I'll just read about on wiki and go from there.

That's true, but aren't the threads supposed to showcase new music you've been listening to? Of course new people may people be starting out and listening to the popular critically acclaimed stuff.

there are two kind of chart threads, one is to post new music you have listened to and other one is to post a chart with the topic you want, with the most common one being your favourite albums
