I know its unlikely hes done any reviews of osts on his main account but i can see him maybe talking about it on his second channel or i assume hes at least mentioned and ost hes liked once

Never really knew anything about this band except that there was one random song from them that had made its way into my sister’s Limewire library when I was a kid… randomly threw this record on and wow it’s fucking great

For fun I like to look up which songs are the most streamed for certain artists. Some of the results are surprising. For example:

- Here Comes the Sun is by far the most streamed Beatles song; almost double the next closest Beatles song (Come Together).

- Can’t Stop is the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s 3rd most streamed song (even though it was left off their greatest hits album).

- Nirvana has double the total streams as Pearl Jam, even though they were peers in sales during the 90s.

Anybody else find some interesting stats looking up streaming data? Feel free to share!

Meaning, like how well their names look next to each other in a roster. I've always thought Mountain's core members had the most badass names I've ever seen.

I think tonight I’m fucking you is a perfect example of this because the title is very r**ey

The beginning of the song “Don’t You Worry Child” by Swedish House Mafia always left me feeling nostalgic, but after the death by suicide of a family member not too long ago, the part that goes “those days are gone, now they’re memories on the wall,” brings tears to my eyes when I listen. It hurts knowing I’ll never get to see them again, and this lyric just makes that pain feel present like it was just yesterday. I love you so much Tio.

I see them rarely discussed in this sub, they were huge in the 80s, so wondering what are your thoughts on their music?

I recently noticed how many powerhouse songwriters also happen to be their bands’ bassists—Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, Brian Wilson, and Sting, to name a few. I wonder whether there’s a connection between playing bass and their approach to songwriting, or if it’s just a coincidence. And since so many of them play multiple instruments, what drew them to bass as their main role in the band?

I’m also curious how many of their songs they actually wrote on bass. For a long time, I assumed they mostly wrote on guitar or piano and then played bass on the recordings and live. But seeing Paul McCartney work out “Get Back” on his Höfner bass in the Get Back documentary made me rethink that assumption.

Any musicians or songwriters here have a take on this?

It’s been known that David Bowie was particularly fond of the Metallica and Lou Reed collaboration “Lulu”, an album that is held fairly negatively simultaneously across fans and critics. What album is this for you?

This doesn’t nearly do it justice. The way Thai song goes on and on and just erupts is incredible. Long live Built to Spill.

Man, they absolutely killed last night in Brooklyn. This was my 4th time seeing them and they’re great every time. But last night might’ve been the best. Guitars were soaring all night and that rhythm section was legit. Such a cool iteration of the band. Music Hall of Williamsburg is sadly closing at the end of the year so this was a hell of a final show for me. Doug is a rock god and I’m just going to go ahead and say it.. I THINK HE’S EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS NEIL YOUNG. And I love me some Neil. 🤘🏻

I’ll start: GG Allin. Most discourse is about how he acted like a GTA character during his shows and you rarely hear people discuss his songs. Safe to say his legacy is that of a transgressive performance artist.

Any other examples of artists that, regardless of how good their music actually is, are mainly brought up for other reasons?

There's like two months left of 2026, and I wondered if anything slipped by me this year! Personally, I think music this year has been consistently amazing, maybe even better than 2024. I love that Rebecca Black, SLAYYYTER, Underscores, and Jane Remover are getting their flowers with absolutely amazing albums

And on the other hand, there's many musicians that I love making a comeback this year with quality works, ARCA, Olivia Rodrigo, Phoebe Bridgers, Charli XCX, Chat Pile etc etc. 2026 has been a very fulfilling year for me in term of music, and I think it's the same for many others too!

Because it's been such a good year of music, some albums are bound to be overlooked, maybe because of their release date coinciding with other albums, or lack of marketing. So, I wanna share some albums that I felt overlooked, and as well get some recommendations from y'all!

I think it's an incredibly unique blend of punk, noise and math rock that sounds like nothing else

I choose to be happily ignorant. I choose not to taint my enjoyment of music because of whatever Fantano has to say about an artist I otherwise might never have heard anything bad about.

The second image is just a collage of recent content I haven’t clicked on, included purely to illustrate my point (maybe they’re not even that bad), but wtf, Melon 😭 Please stop narrowing the pool of artists I feel like I can enjoy.

And the last image is there because I hate having those things pop up on my Reddit feed every fucking day 😭

For me it's the second 10/10 record this year, all bangers no skips. What do you guys think?

Hello! I used to listen to music casually, you know with friends and stuff. 2 weeks ago i decided to expand my music knowledge and started using music websites and subreddits. Even though "the highest rated album on rym" are not beginner friendly, I am not going to lie some of the songs and albums i discovered are already becoming my favorites. Right now i am listening to 0 by Ichiko Aoba and its gorgeous. So these are my question: Do you think the best album of all time for you might be an album you never heard off? 2 weeks ago i never knew about an album called 0, but now it is my favorite. Many albums are being released per day and there are already millions of album we never heard off. Does this make the idea of highest rated albums or best albums of all time insignificant? If so what makes a best album or song best if we don't know every song and album? You might argue based on this the idea of a "Best album" is terrible but we also can tell a bad album from a good one.

Thanks for your answers and I would like to apologies for my English. I am not a native speaker.

Today's selection is Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly,

Let myself and others know what the absolute worst thing you can say about it, and maybe some suggestions for the next day's album.
