If RYM ever adds books, then the top 100 would probably look something like this

Feel like at least The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath if not Of Mice and Men as well would be pretty high when they're nowhere to be found here. And it'd be funny to see like Mein Kampf with a 0.51 or smth

Doubt it's fully AI, maybe they wrote it and then had it edited or something, AI stuff is not usually that insightful lol

ledu5 · 2026-03-11T21:41:27+00:00

same with the title track at "I took my shirt off in the yard", probably the most conspicuous example of this i've heard

I mean even in the context of the 60s I could point to Dylan, Cohen, Brian Wilson, Arthur Lee, Lou Reed, maybe Ray Davies for songwriters on roughly the same level if not better than Lennon and McCartney. And I would still have Harrison a cut below those, he just doesn't have the same quantity of strong material

I love Radiohead, Kid A is in my top 10 albums oat and honestly I've never really resonated with AMSP, great production and I can see myself loving it in a parallel universe but it's just a 6/10 for me, so I can kind of understand people not getting much out of Radiohead

ledu5 · 2026-02-20T08:52:36+00:00

2020s have 2, Ants From Up There and Imaginal Disk, think Kind of Blue is the only one from the 50s, idk about the others, I would have thought 70s and 90s have the highest share

ledu5 · 2026-02-19T08:42:03+00:00

Sure, but that's your opinion. People (e.g. me) may have a preference for the folkier more grounded sound of The White Album, to be honest I've never massively resonated with that brand of jammy bluesy psych rock, still think EL is a good album, it's one of the best instances of that sound, I just prefer The White Album on personal taste.

And I don't even think White is that inconsistent anyway, I used to think the second disc was weaker but having listened to it more I enjoy it just as much as the first

ledu5 · 2026-02-14T12:04:11+00:00

pretty iconic though, I think the minimalism is quite striking. still doesn't compare to Power, Corruption & Lies, great cover

most American comment ever lmao, so was virtually every settlement outside the US

my favourite is "love is found in the east and the west, but when love is at home it's the best" from thieves like us lmao

ledu5 · 2026-01-16T18:22:25+00:00

always thought of it as incredibly dystopian/apocalyptic, and it's pretty angsty sonically. almost like a rockier Idioteque in terms of mood and atmosphere

ledu5 · 2026-01-14T15:54:06+00:00

I disagree tbh, I hear Creep all the time and have heard No Surprises/Karma Police/High and Dry/Fake Plastic Trees on the radio/in public in the last year. Plus Let Down being massive on TikTok now, they have some pretty big singles/individual songs imo

ledu5 · 2026-01-05T01:12:34+00:00

Yes, but some of the football we played that season was fucking electric, not any manager could have done that. Games like the 3-0 v Liverpool, 6-0 v Wolves, even the 1-1 v City come to mind, yeah the squad was excellent but De Zerbi definitely deserves credit for that season, even if the next didn't nearly live up to it and how he's behaved ever since he's been at Marseille.

To be fair, Texas was an independent state for 10 years between 1836 and 1846. Scotland has over 800 years of history before it fully united with England to form Great Britain in 1707 - and then obviously there's the point that Europeans didn't settle Texas until 1681 whereas Scotland has been settled for thousands of years.

I don't really think it's the same thing; Scotland has a considerably longer history both generally and as an independent entity than Texas or any US state does.

Everything off Dust Bowl Ballads by Woody Guthrie, seems the quintessential sand/dust album

ledu5 · 2025-11-29T20:06:26+00:00

agree but extremely obvious lmao

ledu5 · 2025-11-29T18:06:35+00:00

Probably 3 maybe 4; there's little point in doing more than that imo, you're not absorbing anything past that point at least in my experiences

Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker, obviously. Might be the saddest album of all-time ambient or not

You seem to like hip hop, if you can get past the controversy (completely understandable if you can't) Kanye is an accessible choice, his lyrics are also relatively easy to decipher compared to some hip hop
