RYM in 2003. Guess we hadn't discovered Radiohead yet
RYM was a thing in 2003? I used audioscrobbler and myspace
So it has always been "Rate Your Dad's Music."
this was before 3rd world countries had the internet

based third worlders Radiohead/Pink Floyd fans
Rate these nuts
This Year's Model in top 20
HOLY BASED
List is still white as fuck however.
this list is probably just noise data, it's just too random like having TVU above TVU&N
Rock Bottom at #6 is pretty based though
stale, pale, and male
I see rym always had shit taste, Ramones and Pixies are the only good shit up there
it's now at #750, oof...
Pink Moon
I though Pink Moon hype was a 2010’s thing
It's worth mentioning that most modern bands were not added to the site's database until like 2005.
The band
what band?
it's still in the top 25
way too high if you ask me
in 2003 he had 3 albums in Rolling Stone's 500 list and only 1 in the updated 2012 version, iirc Pink Moon (song) was used in some ad around 2000
2003 vs. 2001
It became much more boomer from 01 to 03. I guess which a much smaller user base, it didn't take many ratings to boost albums above where the then-current critical consensus would've put them.
Dylan
Beatles
Stones
That was the state of musicophile larping, if you wanted to pretend your tastes are knowledgeable and superior you'd listen to that, back in 2003.
Things have evolved so much since then, you need to be way more obscure and include a hiphop 'artist' on the number 1 spot, Radiohead somewhere and a lot of female popslop
2001 was the peak
18: Billy Joel - Greatest Hits, Vols. 1& 2 (1973 - 1985)
kek
Beastie Boys twice, huh
I will always prefer this era to the pretentious millennial avant-teen era and the zoomer tranny pop/rap invasion
Like Anon Babble the fanbase was first dad rockers and metalheads before it got flooded with hipsters and then hip hop heads and poptimists
You can tell the site was pretty bri'ish because of the stone roses and the jam
Back then it was only people from North America, Europe, Japan and Australia using the internet for recreational purposes.
Radiohead and its consequences have been a disaster for the music scene
Yup. Put Brat on there or Gaga, jpegmafia or Tyler the Creator. Some Radiohead, King Crimson etc
What about I ask you to jump off a bridge faggot
We need to have a daily RYM (hate) thread. I visited this shit site again after months and I saw they added a new descriptor, "travel". They even tagged Holiday in Cambodia with this so-called "travel" descriptor. I see the userbase is still fucking retarded.
They need a "nigger" tag for Holiday in Cambodia.
Zoomer trannies ruined that site.
Yeah, it's getting out of hand with the splitting of hairs. There's a new genre every day now and woketards have ruined the site.
First were the millennial furries, after that, the kids they groomed became trannies
RYB (Rate Your Balls)
For me? It's lefty
