Thread: Radiohead has 3 albums in the top 10 on RateYourMusic

    Radiohead has 3 albums in the top 10 on RateYourMusic

    RYM's album chart:
    No 1 - OK Computer
    No 3 - Kid A
    No 9 - In Rainbows

    http://rateyourmusic.com/customchart

    What do you think? How is it possible that one band has 3 albums in the top 10 on that site? I think it is absurd and too much for one band no matter how good they are.

    Never ask the masses for a best of anything, you end up with lowest common denominator.

    I had no idea they even had a top 10. I use the site only for information and reviews.

    I'm more concerned with he presence of The Smiths and Kanye West to be honest.

    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    Never thought as Radiohead as a common denominator, guess all the Beatles fans arent on the site.

    Looking at the first page showing the top 40 I don't have a problem with the list - those are all great records.

    I'd probably have the Wu-Tang album higher than Kanye but that might just be me.

    I think it's unfair that Who's Next is ranked only #100 on the RYM chart. That album is a huge and very significant rock classic and should be in the top 30 at least.
    I have a hard time imagining that In Rainbows, Nevermind or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea are better or greater than Who's Next.
