Also give me album recs and let me know if you want to see my top 100 shortest songs as well
Hey y'all,
I'm starting my sophmore year of college in a couple days here and there's gonna be a lot going on in my life, meaning that this sub unfortunately won't be a priority for me. Mental-Alternative38 is going to take my place as the owner of the sub and will also oversee the AOTY elimination posts if they so choose.
You'll probably still see me from time to time if I ever get bored or feel like sharing something, but I am not going to be a moderator here anymore.

Wanted some background music while I clean my room :)
It had come to my attention that some of the albums featured on the first list were in fact not albums and were EPs instead, which is a disqualification in my book. I apologize. So to make this fair, I have decided to redo the votes for day 1 so that every album here gets a fair shot.
The new albums featured are The Blueprint, Physical Graffiti, Ghost Reveries, and Leaves Turn Inside You.
Rules:
It was the story and lyrics of Five Little Monkeys but it sounded like Jungle Boogie by Kool & The Gang. There was specifically a part of the song where they were saying "no more monkeys" just like how they were saying "jungle boogie" in the original song. This has gotten stuck in my family's head but we can't find it. The only lead I have is that it was most likely from the mid to late 2000s based on when we were kids.
Here we go again….
I put the list of albums in the 2nd image since I feel that a lit of these are less recognizable than last time
Rules:
Happy upvoting!
Currently just this mix of new ones and pre-2026 relistens for me, as well as a multitude of album relistens from THIS year
Remove the worst album from RYM's Top 100 (Day 63: THE FINALE)
Featured (not all of these are my personal favorites, but I'm just giving examples that I know of): Prince (45+ albums), Bull Of Heaven (400+ albums), Miles Davis (60+ albums), John Coltrane (50+ albums), The Residents (60+ albums), Robert Pollard/Guided By Voices (120+ albums), Viper (200+ albums)
If you look at my profile you'll know my favorite is Guided By Voices / Robert Pollard's 1000 OTHER side projects (Tobin Sprout too!) but I'm curious to know if you guys have any other artists you love with this large of a discog, they're hard to find (quantity does not equal quality most of the time)

Rules:
I can't speak for everyone obviously but a ton more of these albums are unknown to me, but it might be a good chance for people to get to know some new music, cuz I dont think anyone should be voting for an album theyve never heard, and I certainly havent heard WELL over half of these albums
What do yall think?
Artist 1: cub
cub is an all-female Canadian band from Vancouver. Although considered pop punk, among fans they are known as sort of twee-ish, and they basically created their own genre through their music called “cuddlecore”. Formed by Robynn Iwata, Lisa Marr, and Valeria Fellini in 1992, they created 4 highly overlooked albums in the 90s before disbanding in 1997. I honestly really dig their style, harmonies, and lyricism, and I find them highly underrated.
Album recommendation: Come Out, Come Out
Artist 2: Woob
Woob is the project and stage name of electronic musician Paul Frankland. Woob utilizes musical technology to its full potential to create vast and often genre-less soundscapes comprising of drones, field recordings, noise and keyboards. I just discovered his music a few months ago but I’m already falling in love with it, and I can’t wait to explore the back half of his quite extensive catalog.
Album recommendation: Woob 1194
Artist 3: μ-Ziq
μ-Ziq, real name Mike Paradinas, is one of the most influential and defining figures in the IDM genre. μ-Ziq originally started as a group project between Paradinas and bassist Frank Naughton, who was previously in a band with Paradinas named Blue Innocence. However, after Tango N’Vectif in 1993, Paradinas has operated μ-Ziq as a solo project, and he continues to do so today. μ-Ziq’s music is inspired by multiple sources, whether that be the 80s new wave Paradinas listened to growing up, or the music of much more recognizable musicians he was touring with, such as Aphex Twin (one of the main inspirations behind 1997’s Lunatic Harness) and Björk (one of the main inspirations behind 1999’s Royal Astronomy). Back in the 90s, Paradinas founded his own record label, Planet Mu, to release his own music and collaborate with similar-minded electronic artists, which continues to operate today.
Album recommendation: Bluff Limbo
Contains both first and re-listens
Thanks to everyone who rec'd!
"What's your favorite genre?" "I'm really into that wonky sound y'know?" Gotta love it
Btw I just finished Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus it was very very good. Definitely earns a spot in my overall Top 100 albums
If you guys are interested I'd love to keep making these random vaguely themed playlists
Hello r/musicteenager community,
In the wake of our RYM Top 100 elimination series, I just wanted to briefly go over our community harrassment/disagreement policy. I’ve seen a lot of unwarranted and rude comments these past few weeks over something as trivial as music opinions, and I wanted to address it formally.
As I’ve said many times before, disagreements are fine to have and express, but when you start insulting people PERSONALLY over music opinions, it crosses the line. As a community, we want uphold the utmost respect for everyone, even if their opinions are different than ours.
Here are some guidelines to follow for disagreeing with someone’s post/comment:
WHAT IS OK TO SAY/DO:
WHAT IS NOT OK TO SAY/DO:
Please keep these in mind when commenting on someone else’s opinion. There’s no need to be aggressive or rude; it’s just music, after all. If you don't have something nice/constructive to say, don't say it at all.
I’ve been really into Fleet Foxes lately. This has nothing to do with the post I just felt like sharing
Stay cool y’all
