Do you ACTUALLY belong on Sup Forums?

Do you ACTUALLY belong on Sup Forums?

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!

Now, do you ACTUALLY belong on Sup Forums?
>4.0+
You have to go back >3.5 to 3.9
Sup Forumsdrone, lurk more before posting again.
>3.0 to 3.4
Not a Sup Forumsdrone, but you should explore less popular music more.
>2.5 to 2.9
Good taste, you keep Sup Forums quality high.
>2.0 to 2.4
Great taste, Sup Forums should follow your example.
>0 to 1.9
Awesome taste. Are you sure you didn't cheat though?

Let's begin!

Your taste is probably shitty too.

>write the following formula into google
it's base 10 anyways

I'm using lg(x) as implied 10, ln(x) as implied e and ld(x) as implied 2

log(x) is for different bases goddammit

better idea: do the same but with scaruffi scores

what do you mean?

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

i don't use RYM

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

Nah

>obscurity score

same process but instead of looking up RYM scores, look up Scruff scores
smaller output = more patrician

>i care about my "obscurity score"

>i listen to music for an arbitrary score based on how many people have heard on it

>mfw i have very similar taste to scaruffi

1. The Books - The Lemon of Pink (2003)

10. Henry Cow - In Praise of Learning

Obscurity score: 2.85

Cool

It wouldn't work, really.

Did you score 4.5 or something?

>obscurity score

>i bet all the girlies are gonna be so impressed with my obscurity score

>wow i got a 2.0 score even tho i only listen to german schlagers and nobody on RYM listens to that
>this somehow means i have good taste

I don't belong here. I have pleb tier taste and I wish to change that.

Death Grips is good but am I supposed to like it?

If you get a score of 2.0 while being honest, then yeah, your taste must be great.

>all this poseurcore
>Did you score 4.5 or something?
literally you in the pic

>his favorite album is 8.4 best new music-core
Fucking embarrassing, lmao.

>>redditspacing

is this the new >meme arrows?

>i judge music by it's obscurity

>3.42
wew safe, though I do listen to much more obscure music ya dunderhead

Post your score, faggot.
Also, Pitchfork used to be non shit a few years ago, they even reviewed stuff like Faust and Erstwhile.

>equating obscurity to quality of taste

stay pleb nothin personell

>I do listen to much more obscure music ya dunderhead
Lies. Odds are what you think is obscure is not obscure at all.

>obscurity score

2.85044627117

Spiderland, Pet Sounds, Remain in Light, and Pink Moon plus a lot of obscure albums with 300-50 ratings

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

Name them all.

Yes

It's pretty easy honestly. A lot of random albums with sub 1000 RYM scores are on YT.

>i listen to music for the obscurity score

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.

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.

>The Beach Boys - Pet sounds
>Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy
>death's dynamic shroud.wmv - I'll Try Living Like This
>Nick Drake - Pink Moon
>Hong Kong Express - HK
>Renja - Vision Simulation
>仮想夢プラザ - 水中夢
>Slint - Spiderland
>Talking Heads - Remain in Light
>トリニティー無限大 - 二二二七

>Yeah, but your score is still pretty high

Post your albums

>fucking vaporwave

what if i honesty cannot pick any albums?

What do you mean? Just select the 10 albums you like the most.

It ain't working for me

Obscurity Literally doesn't make music sound better

it means you're out of touch m8 it's not good

Fuck off fag no one likes you

1.66

Robert Schumann - Works for Piano and Clarinet
Bud Powell - Jazz Giant
Zoltan Kodaly - Music for Cello, Vol. 2
Muleskinner - Muleskinner
Art Pepper - Meets the Rhythm Section
John Handy - Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival
Ransom Wilson - Flute Music by Les Six...
Doc Watson - Doc Watson
V/A - Nigeria Disco Funk Special
Thelonious Monk - Monk Alone

tfw all my favs are classical releases rated only by me

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

>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).

but they aren't my favorite version of the compisition

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

wow you tried hard there bud but you succeeded

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 Kossoy Sisters - Bowling Green and Other Folk Songs From The Southern Mountains
6. Nico - Desertshore
7. Beach House - Bloom
8. 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

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

>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.

prove me the correlation between obscurity score and post quality
prove me that belonging on any part of this website isnt a sign you should kill yourself

You really think I'm gonna do all that nigga?

>prove me that belonging on any part of this website isnt a sign you should kill yourself
true

It takes like 60 seconds...

wrong

>Taste in music is equal to how obscure the music you listen to is

bad thread

Most autistic thread I have seen in a long time

>taking op this seriously

>You are rating the composition
a composition can only be as good as its best performance...

I got 3.26. What's the point though? Is obscurity that important to you?

Claude Debussy - La mer ; Nocturnes ; Clair de Lune ; Marche écossaise
Artur Rubinstein - The Nocturnes

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.

isn't this whole thread all about your own subjective taste?

OP's objective rating scale disagrees

nah it's about jerking off to how few people like the same albums as you. this somehow makes the ones you like better
