If yes, post your top 10 albums of all time (be honest!), followed by your obscurity score.
How can you know your obscurity score? Pretty easy. 1) Go to RYM and write the number of ratings for each of your 10 favorite albums. 2) Write the following formula into google (replacing all the "x"s with the amount of RYM ratings for each album). (log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x)+log(x))/10 3) ??? 4) PROFIT!

Do the same thing but with Scaruffi's top ten.

You don't need to use RYM to view the number of ratings each album has.

Spiderland, Pet Sounds, Remain in Light, and Pink Moon plus a lot of obscure albums with 300-50 ratings
Colton Bailey
Is it like x1 where x is the number of ratings for the first album, then x2 where x is the number of ratings for the second album and so on, or is it log(x) where x is the total number of ratings for all albums
Samuel Davis
Name them all.
Yes
Eli Richardson
It's pretty easy honestly. A lot of random albums with sub 1000 RYM scores are on YT.
Andrew Thomas
>i listen to music for the obscurity score
Christopher Roberts
Just doing one from each artist 1. Joanna Newsom - Ys 2. Can - Future Days 3. Talk Talk - Laughing Stock 4. David Bowie - "Heroes" 5. Yes - Close to the Edge 6. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited 7. Amon Duul II - Yeti 8. Panda Bear - Person Pitch 9. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel 10. Michael Hoenig - Departure from the Northern Wasteland Gets me 3.82 (the last one really brought it down). About what I expected to be honest.
It's possible (though uncommon) for someone to listen to a lot of legitimately obscure music and still have a fairly standard top 10.
Nicholas Foster
Yeah, but your score is still pretty high. I have also listened to stuff not even on RYM's database, for example (or submitted them myself).
Listening to music for obscurity? No. Listening to enough music your favorites end up being obscure? Yes.
>It's possible (though uncommon) for someone to listen to a lot of legitimately obscure music and still have a fairly standard top 10. In all honesty, not really. It's true in theory, but never happens in practice.

tfw all my favs are classical releases rated only by me
Jordan Morris
all my favorite albums are made by my uncle and his friends that they made four cassette copies of in the late 80's. beat that faggots
Christopher Richardson
>rating classical releases instead of classical compositions phew! Also, you rate the classical release with the specific composition with the most ratings*2 (*2 because there are many editions for the same composition).
Sebastian Carter
but they aren't my favorite version of the compisition
Camden Ross
Fuck this I'm gonna do something more interesting I wonder what is the highest possible score based on these most rated albums
OK Computer Dark Side of the Moon Kid A Wish You Were Here The Bends Sgt Pepper TVU&N Nevermind Abbey Road Revolver
The answer is 4.34
Nolan Johnson
wow you tried hard there bud but you succeeded
Gavin Carter
1. Joanna Newsom - Ys 2. Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day 3. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues 4. Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days 5.

The Incredible String Band - The 5000 Spirits or Layers of the Onion 9. Xiu Xiu - Knife Play 10. Joan Baez - Joan Baez Vol. 2
Score: 3.28
Cooper Rogers
Doesn't matter. You are rating the composition, otherwise it would be very easy for classical listeners to get a low score.
The highest score possible is actually 4,45 if you sort the chart by popularity.
Radiohead - OK Computer 1997 Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon 1973 Radiohead - Kid A 2000 Radiohead - The Bends 1995 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 1975 The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 1967 The Velvet Underground / Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico 1967 Nirvana - Nevermind 1991 The Beatles - Abbey Road 1969 The Beatles - Revolver 1966
Seems pretty honest desu
Cooper Anderson
>implying anybody gives a shit about your retarded "score" >grr don't rig mu obscurity score test so that you get more than me grrgrr

There are many people who will get a lower score than me, I don't mind. And a lot of users posted their scores here, so I guess they do actually care.

What you regard as "the best performance" is almost entirely subjective. Sure there are objective factors such as sloppy playing, lack of balance, etc., but what it ultimately boils down to is how you personally vision the piece and how accurately a recording fits your vision.
Ian Ross
isn't this whole thread all about your own subjective taste?
John Bailey
OP's objective rating scale disagrees
Angel Moore
nah it's about jerking off to how few people like the same albums as you. this somehow makes the ones you like better
