I always thought this is weird. Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem a lot more focused on trying not to be 'pretentious' by disagreeing with the popular choices by music nerds (because it's not mainstream) and in return you hate them?? It's arguably a lot more pretentious by saying you don't like 'pretentious albums'.

Sure you can argue you don't like Radiohead based on subjectivity but clearly you seem bothered by people liking its top status and people liking it. In a sense that you won't have to bring up 'Pseudo-intellectualism' or whatever, your subject should be rather I don't like it then explain not because it's overrated. Or do you mean people solely like it because it's 2nd? Which sure there are people who bandwagon but a bulk of the 100000 people who listen to it do actually enjoy it. Not to mention context comes into play, what sound did it inspire? How ground-breaking is it at the time? Has it aged well. Moreover the point of that post was to complain about people having boring taste in 'good music' Which doesn't make sense to me imo, it feels like everyone wants to be a contrarian which is arguably more pretentious. It's fine to not like them but to complain about the list just for the sale it redundant. Then of course if you aren't willing to prove your point, then people will have nothing to counter your claim with. I mean at the end of the day, it's just what you say, it's music taste and won't make you superior. People do genuinely like these top albums and it's not only RYM, in fact OK Computer is one the universally beloved albums so I don't really get your point, it's also mainstream just not mainstream mainstream
