Acclaimed Music & Best Ever Albums

Post by Harold »

As we search for things to tide ourselves over while we wait for next year's update, I thought I'd contribute a comparison of Acclaimed Music to Best Ever Albums (besteveralbums.com). If you're not familiar with BEA, it's a site that compiles a (very) few critics' lists but is primarily user-generated a la Rate Your Music - with results that, to my mind, are more interesting (and closer in a lot of ways to AM's than RYM's are) than you might expect.

I compiled a BEA top 3000 yesterday (November 21, 2012 - the rankings actually update automatically with each new submission, it would seem, although the site's now been around long enough that there's a great deal of consistency in the upper reaches), and have compared those rankings with the current AM top 3000. (For 2010 and 2011 albums, I've assigned an AM rank along the lines of my earlier prediction post here.) The top 1000 albums are listed below:

BEA has some of the same idiosyncrasies that have often been noted in discussions, here and elsewhere, of RYM - inordinately high rankings for a lot of hard rock/metal, inordinately low rankings for a lot of black music. BEA also doesn't treat jazz as well as RYM does, outside of the expected well-known classics. But it's an interesting list nonetheless.

A couple of other notes:

Albums in the AM top 500 not in the BEA top 3000:
361 Sex Machine James Brown
409 GP Gram Parsons
450 Two Steps from the Blues Bobby Bland
479 Good Old Boys Randy Newman
481 Risqué Chic
484 Genius of Modern Music (Volume One) Thelonious Monk
486 The Blues and the Abstract Truth Oliver Nelson
497 Club Classics Vol. One/Keep On Movin' Soul II Soul

Albums in the BEA top 500 not in the AM top 3000:
163 Legend Bob Marley and the Wailers (anthology - surprisingly, the only one in the BEA top 500, although there are plenty right below)
244 Sigh No More Mumford & Sons (has a very small outside chance of making the AM 3000, based on the acclaim it picked up in 2010)
248 X&Y Coldplay
269 Sam's Town The Killers
292 The Resistance Muse
308 The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me Brand New
341 Rust In Peace Megadeth
346 Fear Of A Blank Planet Porcupine Tree
366 In Absentia Porcupine Tree
371 Hybrid Theory Linkin Park
379 10,000 Days Tool
390 Stadium Arcadium Red Hot Chili Peppers
393 Plans Death Cab For Cutie
398 Third Eye Blind Third Eye Blind
429 Showbiz Muse
435 Powerslave Iron Maiden
444 The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place Explosions In The Sky
464 Bloom Beach House
465 Continuum John Mayer
468 Hopes And Fears Keane
486 Purple Stone Temple Pilots
491 Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory Dream Theater
495 40 Oz. To Freedom Sublime

(Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree both have 7 albums in the BEA top 3000, which ties them for second among artists with no AM top 3000 albums. First place in that category goes to a-ha, with 9.)

Finally, the current BEA top 10 for 2012:

464 Bloom Beach House
560 Blunderbuss Jack White
649 Channel Orange Frank Ocean
682 Shields Grizzly Bear
870 The Idler Wheel Is Wiser... Fiona Apple
913 Attack On Memory Cloud Nothings
939 Lonerism Tame Impala
988 Good Kid, M.A.A.d City Kendrick Lamar
1091 The Seer Swans
1253 Visions Grimes

Ugh. I've actually posted there a few times, but I think that site is pretty awful overall. The point system used to enable different list sizes, the fact that Coldplay and Oasis are considered so much better than Prince, the fact that people rate other people's charts, etc. I think their list is even more male-dominated than the AM one, and that is inexcusable in my view.

I do appreciate the effort you took compiling it, though. I just don't like the end result! It saddens me to see music communities so dead set on identifying only music by white males with guitars as worthy of adulation.

Thanks for the comparision, Harold. Overall, I agree with Moonbeam that AM is much more reliable (which isn't surprising, given the amazing scope of AM, and the enormous amount of work that Henrik and others have put into it). However, I do like a lot of neo-prog acts, particularly Porcupine Tree, and was happy to see "Fear of a Blank Planet" do so well on the Best Albums list. There's no doubt, though, that the list does seem to be heavily slanted toward (and against) certain genres; while AM, due to the system used, does the best job I've ever seen of balancing out such issues.

It is interesting how, even though people accuse critics of being out of touch, critic lists always end up really close to lists generated by random music fans.

Only, the user generated lists have more newer albums high up and narrower genre focus.
