How is this album so acclaimed? #6 of all time on RYM? I don't understand. It's good but not top 10 worthy.

Jose Mitchell
Kevin Barnes
what is top 10 worthy then?
let us have that top ten
Matthew Rivera
everyone likes the cover art and maybe 21st century schizoid man
Isaiah Collins
probably the best album of all time.
Benjamin Ross
Neither are DSOTM, WYWH nor Led Zeppelin IV, but they're still there.
Levi Peterson
confirmed for never listening past the first track
Ryder Moore
i'm not wrong though. those are the two biggest drivers behind that album's status
Grayson Collins
And Epitaph, Moonchild, and The Court of the Crimson King.
Aaron Harris
I agree with you.
Pic related is Top 10 worthy.
Grayson Adams
you should probably listen to that record before you decide what the biggest drivers behind it's status are.
Wyatt Sanders
This.
Jackson Roberts
It's a pretty great album all the way through
Wyatt Hughes
It pleases sperglord web denizens who only listen to prog and metal, while attracting hipsters with that rare quality of being both seminal and obscure.
Basically, combine the autismal, mouth-breathing fanbase of Dream Theater with those poe-faced losers who will listen to every Velvet Underground concert box set and debate which version of Sister Ray stands out among the rest.
Jayden Johnson
Lot of the other albums in the RYM Top 100 are more deserving to be in the top 10 such as Kind of Blue, Black Saint, Pet Sounds, Love Supreme, Remain in Light to name a few
Angel Bailey
>not liking IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING AHHHHH and the funeral-like atmosphere of Epitaph
Pleb
Luis Flores
>Pet sounds
>Muh compositional complexity
Anthony Young
I completely forgot that Led IV was in the top 10, that's even worse than King Crimson in the top 10.
Connor Thomas
most of the prog community here shits on dream theatre though. And pitchfork drones hate prog. try harder
Matthew Flores
I may be biased since I think Led Zeppelin is the most overrated rock band ever, I don't think any of their albums should be close to the top 100.
William Morgan
>most of the prog community here shits
We're talking about RYM, you fuck.
>And pitchfork drones hate prog
lol, okay.
Juan Rivera
yeah pretty much, led zep are okay rock but nothing spectacular
Lucas Morales
>Remain in Light
>good
Apparently shitty new wave + shitty worldbeat + Brain Eno = masterpiece
John Jackson
>Remain in Light
>bad
Found the pleb!
Josiah Garcia
10/10 reply
Oliver Perry
Reply to this.
*unzips dick*
Jeremiah Cooper
>I could rebuttal his argument with actual reasons why I think the album is good
>or I can call him a pleb
Quality post friendo!
Benjamin Wood
He could have responded with actually reasons why it's bad, rather than whining like "ugh, the world beat and new wave is shitty!"
Instead I'll just point out that his opinion's objectively a terrible one and offensive to the concept of artistic taste,
David Robinson
I think the better question is why are all these old prog rock albums so universally acclaimed? Literally no one listens to prog rock these days and yet we still have dozens of dadrockers act like these all the end-all-be-all of music. Bunch of bandwagoning retards.
Oliver Anderson
>waaaaah why won't anyone dignify my shitposting with an actual reply
Parker Martinez
I find it boring at best, annoying at worst. I can't stand listening to Once in a Lifetime. Anything KC did in the 80's is more interesting.
Happy now?
Ian Hall
I find you boring at worst and annoying at best.
Henry Reyes
I never liked track as much as the others just because it seemed to repeat itself too much. Could've been a solid minute shorter
Joseph Reyes
Oh snap, got me son!
I apologise for having a different opinion.
Alexander Cook
>nobody listens to prog
>pink floyd, the mars volta, yes
shitpost harder
Gavin Brown
As you should. Now fuck off!
Alexander Collins
Nigger
Landon Murphy
Because Epitaph and In The Court of the Crimson King are the two best rock songs ever recorded.
Asher Reyes
Nah, I think I'll stay
Hudson Watson
i'll give you that they're the two best symphonic prog songs, but other than that... lol
Gavin Allen
So salty!
Bentley Hughes
It showed that rock albums could be giant orchestrated pieces, essentially created symphonic rock, great theme, varied instrumentation, et cetera. Should have never fallen from #3, especially not to the Beatles and DSOTM.
Justin Sanchez
Dark Side of the Moon isn't even top 3 best Pink Floyd albums.
Isaiah White
>comparing yes-tier prog to dream theater-tier prog
absolutely delusional.
Benjamin James
OK computer isnt even top 100 let alone fucking 1, the amount of circle jerking and mental gymnastics to create a 10/10 out of a 7/10 is pretty crazy, but hey, that's popular music and normalfags for you
Lincoln Clark
>Implying I don't listen to prog rock daily
lmao'ing at your tasteless life fampai
David Morgan
...
Jack Garcia
Epic response
Jose Allen
It's actually Top 5 worthy. Probably even Top 3. Fuck it it's the best album of all time I'm gonna listen to it right now.
>tfw two last minutes of Epitaph
>;_;
Levi Jackson
That's even worse of an argument than "shitty new wave + shitty worldbeat + Brian Eno = masterpiece"
Aaron Rivera
At least I've presented an argument, something you (or whoever it was) wasn't able to do.
