Chart was recently updated, but suggestions are still welcome! Suggestions for the Cuban, European Classical, and Trance sections in particular are the most needed. Hip Hop too, but because the categorization scheme used for that genre is probably less than ideal, so alternative categorizations are welcome.
Can you help me with H4, O12 and U3? Looks like I'm not able to find them at all.

You are right, some suggestions were not discarded, I just left them for later so I could better revise them. But actually, nevermind, I already added it to the chart.

Or is there no other way to describe it?

Liam Robinson
I listened to Woody Guthrie - Dust Bowl Ballads (1940) and it was alright. It sounds like it came from the 50's so it's pretty ahead of the curve, but it's still very simplistic instrumentally, even for contemporary folk. It's pretty good lyrically. 6/10.

>ok but i disagree fundamentally with the idea that these records are "essential recordings of music" when almost nobody has written about them or talked about them >when almost nobody has written about them or talked about them That's because you are an ignorant moron, not because they are actually not well-known.

>but how many times do you see people mention that EP instead of endtroducing? Not as many, but that's because endtroducing is more popular (especially on Yea Forums), just not necessarily more influential. Again, Soul came two years after, right when instrumental hip hop was becomming bigger. I couldn't go with Endtroducing becaues at the time instrumental hip hop was already too big. Either instrumental hip hop artists were taking from Soul or from another artist that should replaced Shadow.
>it's the same thing with Isn't Anything over Loveless, like Loveless was a significantly more important record There are A LOT of shoegaze recordings that predate Loveless, so I had to go for something earlier, and Isn't Anything was a good choice.

Viper is relevant to cloud rap, yes, get your head out of your ass. That user is talking out of his ass, as I already showed with evidence.

>cloud rap only started becoming a thing shortly after Cowards, and two years after Hoodlum? Yeah.
So let me get something clear here: only because an artist was the first to contribute to the sound of a genre, that does not make it "essential" or essentially influential.
It is well known in the cloud rap genre that it was Clams Casino who pioneered the sound. His music has stayed relevant in the genre throughout the years while Vipers' has definitely not. Putting that as a representative of Cloud Rap is like putting Helter Skelter as a representative song for Heavy Metal.

Carson Nguyen
Sorry, I missed that post. I like that one, but doesn't seem to be very relevant. I'm only going for the album I told you because it was the closest to a 1980-1984 chiptune compilation (it even has pac man).
Agreed on your first paragraph, so we are cool there. I'm well aware of Clams Casino, and if it wasn't Viper it would have been something produced by him, don't get me wrong. The thing is both are cloud rap, and Casino wasn't making any cloud rap before Cowards. In fact, his stuff from 2008 is NOTHING cloud rap, but then Cowards gets released and his style changes drastically. He most have been influenced by Viper. Now, I could be wrong, but it's still a big coincidence. Regarding Helter Skelter: first, it's not an album; second, it's not metal.
Daniel Cook

I don't care if Clams Casino was influenced by Viper, he most likely wasn't, but let's say he was. Even then, that wouldn't make Viper more essential than Clams, because Viper's sound wasn't as influential or relevant as Clams'.

While I'm here, I got: >361: Bachata Roja I like this. At times it sounds like latin tinged Doo Wop with simple, sweet melodies and a steady rhythm. Other times it goes really hard on the syncopated latin rhythms which feel closer to a lot of the folky roots this music clearly comes out of. This style definitely shines most on these more uptempo tracks. The guitar work, whether it's accompanying singers or soloing is is the overwhelming the highlight on just about every track though. The picking particular in particular are fantastic. Lush harmonies arpeggiated via knotty rhythms that skip and shimmer over the crooning singers and syncopated percussion.

So, let's suppose in 2017 there appeared an artist who influenced more artists than Clams Casino has, would you say we should go for that one artist instead?
I mean, it's certainly representative of a specific era of chiptune, but its missing the very early chiptune stuff like pac man and similar. Destroy All Monsters is actually a pretty unorthodox noise rock album by the way, and a bit late for the purposes of the chart anyways. I appreciate your comments a lot by the way.
I browsed the RYM charts, but I didn't choose the most popular necessarily. I browsed around and chose the album that would have been most representative (in terms of coverage, for example). Couldn't use publications because they don't cover entire regions like the one I used in the chart. Any thoughts on the choices by the way?
Good alternative. I wish Discogs would have a "sort by random" option though, that would have been perfect. I mean, I think its possible to do that with their API, but can't be bothered to learn that now.
>Other times it goes really hard on the syncopated latin rhythms which feel closer to a lot of the folky roots this music clearly comes out of. That's a good sign. Would you happen to know which style that resembles? I still have to listen to that one, but your description makes me want to listen to it now. I have already listened to some bachata before at least though.
>i talk to people who were around to see honeywell and probably played shows with them So this confirms Honeywell were an early representative screamo band. But whatever. What would you go with instead for an early screamo recording? I recall Heroin being a candidate, but decided against it because there were no proper recordings from the era by them.
Angel Lewis
Correction: Destroy All Monsters wasn't late, they were actually too early. The thing is noise rock became a genre around with post-punk, but that recording is not post -punk, so they arrived at the noise rock sound by chance. Weird case, I guess.
Zachary Campbell
>So this confirms Honeywell were an early representative screamo band. i never denied this? what im saying is there are early screamo/emo bands that are far more singificant, namely indian summer or portraits of past, or mohinder. as far as a specific record is concerned, probably o nation, you bleed from many wounds by mohinder. heroin's compilation would also be a great candidate. you're overlooking the indian summer discography compilation though (science 1994) which although it came out way after they broke up catalogues every song released by probably the single most important emo band ever
Alright, thanks a lot for this post, that's very informative.
>indian summer - science 1994 Apparently that's not screamo, or at least RYM doesn't think it is, since over 90% of users on there disagree about it being screamo, so I'm afraid I can't put them in the screamo category.
>Heroin Compilation This seems like a great candidate, and I will take your word that they were more important than Honeywell, so expect to see the change in the next update of the chart.
Discussing the rest I guess is redundant when I'm guessing those two I mentioned already are the biggest names in the early history of screamo (correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm happy we could reach an agreement. If you have any other suggestions I would be curious to hear them.

>Any thoughts on the choices by the way? In the folk section? I've no idea, I'm a bit of a dilettante with trad music. Took a brief look at the jazz and classical picks cause that's what I mostly listen to. There's some nice selections in there, a good mix of somewhat obscure but high quality works and classics. I'm a little confused as to why some works like Beethoven's Triple Concerto or Paavo's s/t got on there but I personally really enjoy them and am all for more people listening to them so I don't disapprove. >Would you happen to know which style that resembles? Soz, waaaay outside my wheelhouse as I say. It's neat tho! Wikipedia says the style in general comes out of: > the pan-Latin American style called bolero with more African elements coming from Son Whatever that means. I presume Bolero is the style Ravel based his famous piece of the same name but I can't hear many similarities there. Needs more ostinati. To my ears there's for sure some pop influence in there too at times which would make sense seeing as it's a style originating in the 20th century (also according to wikipedia). >I still have to listen to that one, but your description makes me want to listen to it now. I have already listened to some bachata before at least though. Yeah for sure, I'd recommend it in any case! The guitar playing actually reminds me a little of Franco, but that could just be my western ears having very few reference points and hearing all African tinged guitar playing as stylistically similar. Like, my knowledge of Rumba ends at Franco and my knowledge of "Son" is non-existent.

>I'm a little confused as to why some works like Beethoven's Triple Concerto A lot of classical picks can be pretty weak, as I don't know much about the genre, so the Triple Concerto can be replaced. Really, tell me anything you think I could replace from the chart and I will consider it. Also, the Romantic section was a pretty though one for decide, I had to leave a lot of romantic composers behind, so that one might need an extra revision.
>Paavo's s/t I wanted to go with more recent avant-garde jazz, so Paavo seemed like a good choice. Could be replaced though.
Regarding those influences, Son (Cubano) was apparently a super influential genre. A lot of popular latin american music genres have their origin in Son Cubano, including Salsa (a bit of a controversial statement, but probably because of political reasons).

This is like HerbieAnon 2.0. He spends like weeks making charts and people forget them 2 months after he stops shilling them.
My unprofessional opinion: >Bach's Mass in B appears twice It's a great piece and exploring multiple interpretations is important, but maybe keep the Gardiner recording and replace the other. There's dozens of worthwhile Bach pieces you could easily make a case for but my recommendation is Art of the Fugue. It's well respected but also kind of a strange work in Bach's cannon. If you're being a good Bach scholar trying not to piss off baroque stans, Davitt Moroney has a nice harpsichord recording that'll sate the conservatives. If you wanna be controversial though, pick related is the best recording of Bach ever made. >Mozart picks I'd throw in his 40th or 41st symphony, maybe instead of the Serenade. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is adorable and will get you more pussy at parties, but those late symphonies are better respected and I like them better. >Triple Concerto This is a really neat piece and super underrated, but the 9th symphony would be the obvious choice here. Again though, I nearly feel bad suggesting it. More people listening to the Triple Concerto is a way more pressing cause than more people listening to Ode to Joy. You've also got the 5th on here, but the two are pretty drastically different works that are considered landmarks for pretty different reasons, so nobody would blink at both them being on here. The degenerate in me also wants to recommend the 13th and 14th quartets which were the most strikingly anachronistic, original and forward thinking pieces of music since Gesualdo. >A lot of popular latin american music genres have their origin in Son Cubano Apparently so do some African genes! Wikipedia says Congolese Rumba came out of Son (Cubano) too. The Congolese heard it over radio broadcasts in the early 20th century and really liked it apparently. Which is news to me, I assumed it had come out of African traditions but I suppose it makes sense that a guitar based folk tradition should trace it's back to blues or latin music.
>Debussy Preludes Again, the more conventional choices would be Prelude a L'Apres Midi d'un Faune or Suite Bergamasque (again, Clair de Lune will have you slaying mad puss on the reg) but the Preludes are great and deserve more attention than they get! >the modern classical section This section makes me a little sad. I actually recently made a chart dedicated to classical music from the latter half of the last century and this one so I'm maybe a little more invested in this than the average person. You hit a lot of the big names but missed a lot of others and beyond expanding the section, substituting isn't really the best idea unless you want to add in composers like Jochum, Part or Glass who're more popular in the general public. >Morton Feldman Rothko Chapel is a better known work by him and another personal favourite. Minimalism and some early electronic being put in the experimental section also makes me sad but I understand why they're there there. The likes of Riley, Stockhausen and Reich are thought of as classical composers but they were tangential to popular movements.
Michael Johnson
>Bach's Mass in B appears twice Oh, that's actually a typo. The last album is actually Art of Fugue lol Performed by Musica Antiqua Köln, but the album art is just there for reference.
>the 9th symphony would be the obvious choice here I decided against it because Freischutz by Weber is a romantic piece that predates his 9th Symphony, so it would be weird to include a romantic composition by Beethoven that's not the first from the style. I was told the 6th would be a better romantic symphony choice? What do you think?
>The degenerate in me also wants to recommend the 13th and 14th quartets which were the most strikingly anachronistic, original and forward thinking pieces of music since Gesualdo. Apparently, but wouldn't those fall under romantic? Because I'm afraid there isn't enough space under there for those. I mean, I could still include if that's the case, I just don't know who to remove to add them.
>I'd throw in his 40th or 41st symphony, maybe instead of the Serenade. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is adorable and will get you more pussy at parties, but those late symphonies are better respected and I like them better. I was thinking Nachtmusik could be relevant as a precursor of light music, which would make it pretty different from other compositions of the time. Should I still replace that one with his 40 and 41 symphony? Keep in mind the ideal here would be to showcase as much diversity as possible.

Still, the chart shouldn't be concerned about the "general public", so there is no need to add Part or Glass (or maybe there is, haven't listened to much of their stuff). I think the Minimalism choices are fine though. In C combined with Drumming is a neat combination, imo. But still, I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
>Rothko Chapel is a better known work True, I think I should add that one instead.
>Minimalism and some early electronic being put in the experimental section also makes me sad but I understand why they're there there. Well, they are actually there because, the way I see it, minimalism wasn't a style that evolved out of any classical style, it just appeared out of conceptual ideas. Similar case with the electronic/tape compositions, but in this case they were born out of technologies instead of conceptual ideas (but in the end they are the same, right?).
>The likes of Riley, Stockhausen and Reich are thought of as classical composers but they were tangential to popular movements. They are classical (art? academic?) composers, but not all of their works were done in a european classical style (nor derived form it). Stockhausen lies somewhere in between though, I think, since Kontakte for example is both part of this electronic category but also part of the serialist tradition.

Ah, ok I think I get what you're going for a little better. >Freischutz by Weber is a romantic piece that predates his 9th Symphony I think you might be underestimating the importance of Beethoven's 9th in expanding the horizons of the symphony. It's an early romantic piece with vocals, but the inclusion of those vocals in a symphony lead composers breaking the conventions of forms both in and out of the symphony. Beethoven's 6th? It's a great piece but I think you're better off with the 5th. It's a stronger and more innovative work. >Apparently, but wouldn't those fall under romantic? Hell you could call them early modern if you wanna get creative about it, Stravinsky referred to the great fugue that originally capped the 13th as such. Romantic is probably best though. People will start raising eyebrows if Beethoven is in the same section as Satie. >I mean, I could still include if that's the case, I just don't know who to remove to add them. I don't either. It's a fairly tight packed bunch as is. Maybe leave it unless you're expanding the section. >I was thinking Nachtmusik could be relevant as a precursor of light music If this is the goal, then absolutely keep EKNM. There's a good case for it's inclusion as light music, though it's such a lovely piece that I feel bad lumping it in with a term that usually describes the smooth jazz of the classical world. >Pretty cool story btw Ikr? I kinda wanna go find out about the radio broadcaster who made Latin American folk musicians popular in the Congo. >impressionism Impressionism as a movement is a little amorphous. Bolero and L'Apres are good. Maybe Sibelius' The Swan of Tuonela? It's an early impressionist work and it'd be nice if Jean got on here, even if it's not for Finalandia or one of his symphonies. Gymnepodes is a great piece, but if you wanna have Satie as a forward thinker, Ogives is probs the earliest thing you could reasonably call minimalism. It's less well known though.

Your ignorance in jazz and Classical really shows
Here's a chart from the golden age of Yea Forums made by someone who actually knew their shit
>Your ignorance in jazz and Classical really shows In classical? Yes. The jazz chart is fine though. Also, I'm aware of that chart, and I used it as inspiration and as a guide for the classical section, so the classical section shouldn't be bad in comparison. Of course, if you have anything to suggest, feel free to do so (both in classical and jazz categories, or anything else).
Ryder Morris
>I mean, I would love to expand that section (and romantic too), but there just isn't enough space, so I have to replace stuff instead Yeah, then you're probs fine desu. The thing about a chart like this tracking innovations is, you're bound to miss a bunch. At the end of the day, the world will just have to live without prepared piano, Tintinnabuli and algorithmically generated orchestral textures. They'll get by somehow > I think the Minimalism choices are fine though. In C combined with Drumming is a neat combination, imo. But still, I would be happy to hear your thoughts. Yeah they're great pieces. Especially if you're aiming for "early pieces that made a big splash in the genre". >Well, they are actually there because, the way I see it, minimalism wasn't a style that evolved out of any classical style, it just appeared out of conceptual ideas Yeah, I mostly agree with this. As I mentioned, you can trace it's earliest roots to classical music, but that isn't where LaMonte Young was drawing most of his influences. > Similar case with the electronic/tape compositions, but in this case they were born out of technologies instead of conceptual ideas (but in the end they are the same, right?). Yeah, same deal, neither popular nor classical music can really 100% claim ownership of the origins of this stuff. >art? academic? Same thing, different name. I just say classical cause it lets me talk about pretentious things with slightly less pretentious language. I've never actually observed a case where the similarities between "classical era" and "classical music" have caused confusion in the wild. >but not all of their works were done in a european classical style (nor derived form it). Stockhausen lies somewhere in between This isn't just common to them either. One of the defining features of modern classical music has been absorbing influences from other traditions and generally making music that is hard to fit in neat boxes.
Camden Kelly
>I think you might be underestimating the importance of Beethoven's 9th in expanding the horizons of the symphony. Oh no, I'm well aware of how massive the 9th was, but don't you think it's weird for the romantic section to start with something that's not Beethoven? And sure, I could include many romantic works by Beethoven, but that would be too difficult considering the limited space.
>I think you're better off with the 5th. It's a stronger and more innovative work. Alright then. Is it actually romantic though? What was the first romantic composition in your opinion and according to academic consensus?
>Hell you could call them early modern if you wanna get creative about it Of course :)
>Romantic is probably best though. What would you replace then? Or should I just not add it?
>Maybe leave it unless you're expanding the section. Are you sure? There is probably some "redundancy" in that selection. Now, there are still some other artists who should also make it, but eh... idk.
>though it's such a lovely piece that I feel bad lumping it in with a term that usually describes the smooth jazz of the classical world. Yeah, I get that, but jazz went through the same thing (say "Hi!" to Kenny G), and its still important to add it since it was a unique style. Now, is EKNM really light music? I'm not sure, but as long as the piece is "different enough" from the rest of Mozart's output its fine.
>Bolero and L'Apres are good. Are those transitional works from romantic to impressionism though?
>if you wanna have Satie as a forward thinker I'm afraid that's not the idea, unless you want to add it as the "unorthodox" impressionist pick.
>Ogives is probs the earliest thing you could reasonably call minimalism. It's less well known though Sounds interesting, will try to give it a listen.

Question.
What is the purpose of the chart?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to be an educational introduction to each genre/sub-genre, creating a basic understanding of them.
I take this as the reason many of the picks aren’t necessarily very good on their merits outside of the purpose of the chart
William Perez

Daniel Jenkins
>Beethoven Yeah look, I'm probs not the best person to be asking about this. Like, this stuff is all so fuzzy and I kind of revel in that. Beethoven's 5th is undeniably an important and highly influential early work in romantic music but it's not like you're trying to pin down a definite style, it's more like an ethos and approach to music. It's nebulous, like a lot of things in art. The only hard line I like drawing in classical music is Mahler's Der Lide von der Erde definitively ending the romantic period. And that's just cause Bernstein made a very poetic case for why it should be. youtu.be/CJeRlfibzcs?t=2443 >Beethoven's late String Quartets Yeah, there's also plenty of Beethoven on there already. I'd say just leave it. If this ever gets any bigger, they're worth adding though. > is EKNM really light music? I don't really know. If it is, it probably wasn't on purpose in any case. I feel like your best bet is to find someone who listens to classical music purely as background music and to ask them. >Are those transitional works from romantic to impressionism though? Yeah again, I have the same feelings about this as I do about romanticism. The prelude is a pretty definitive early impressionist work in style and approach and Bolero is both very well known and influential as an impressionist piece. >unless you want to add it as the "unorthodox" impressionist pick. Nah, you're probs best with Gymnepodies as an impressionist work. Satie is cited as the father of minimalism by a lot of folks in the classical world and figured that might be a neat way to show that which is why I suggested it. >Thanks a lot for your suggestions by the way! Np, always nice chatting with you! Been a while since I'd seen you around and I've also not been on here in a while so I wasn't sure you were still posting. Glad to see you are!
Isaiah Nelson
>At the end of the day, the world will just have to live without prepared piano, Tintinnabuli and algorithmically generated orchestral textures. I'm sad now too :c I guess free improvisation should cover the prepared piano thing at least (kind of).
>you can trace it's earliest roots to classical music Can you really? Because you can trace down the origins of impressionism and futurism to romantic, for example, or stochastic music to serialism, then to expressionism, and then back to romanticism again, but what's the story with minimalism? I don't really see it as evolving out of any style of classical music to be honest.
>neither popular nor classical music can really 100% claim ownership of the origins of this stuff I mean, they could. I'm not using the classical/popular/folk category for the purposes of the chart though. European Classical is the music that evolved out of medieval classical, for example, which is why cabaret is there (apparently has its origins in opera), despite not being a classical genre.
>it seems to be an educational introduction to each genre/sub-genre, creating a basic understanding of them. Yeah, but with the earliest classical recording of each genre, the transitional work from one genre to another, which should give a better perspective on how genres evolve.

Levi Miller

Noah Peterson
I understand that's a controversial decision, but I don't feel like Talk Talk are post-rock in the same way as bands like Slint or Bark Psychosis are. And in the case we would consider Talk Talk to be post-rock then we should include Durutti Column instead since they came earlier.

i'm honestly incredibly surprised. i really didn't think you'd be able to put up. I've watched you argue your way out of every suggestion for over a week. i was under the impression the only change you made was the one you publicly argued with and then privately changed. anyway, you have insane ego issues to be forcing this chart that does not at all help show how genres have evolved at all considering every genre has its own meticulous avant-math definition that literally NOBDOY agrees with. and I still believe you have autism
William Williams
yeah, he also never listened to the albums in the chart he spams. epic
Aiden Richardson
>I've watched you argue your way out of every suggestion for over a week I don't. It's just that the ones I disagree with (mostly just three, Loveless, Viper and Avalanches) the first two do not fit the criteria, and the third is more controversial, but its either hip hop or its nothing (since it wouldn't qualify as early).
>you have insane ego issues to be forcing this chart that does not at all help show how genres have evolved at all It does show this, since every album on that chart is a transitional work from one genre to another (2-step to dubstep, thrash metal to black metal, philly soul to disco, etc). I understand if you don't like this approach, but the alternative is picking the top RYM album, which is even worse.
>considering every genre has its own meticulous avant-math definition that literally NOBDOY agrees with Stop being a retard, this has only been the case for plunderphonics, and that's a controversial case at RYM too.
>I still believe you have autism Nah, I don't have any autistic symptoms other than "categorizing things", which is just one out of many other criteria for autism, none of which I have.

>Anyways, I will stop replying to the trolls now. Fucking finally. You've been around here how many years and are still engaging in bad faith arguments with trolls? I guess it kept the thread bumped.
There is Bathory for first wave and Darkthrone for second wave. This seems fine to me. New Order are already on the chart. What would you change from hip hop?
That was a typo, its supposed to be Art of Fugue.

Hey avant math god, thanks for putting in the effort to make such a chart. Were you the guy talking about it on here about like a month ago?

Noah Walker

Bonobo is too late to be on downtempo. Flying Lotus could have gone under wonky hip hop, but I decided to go for other hip hop genres instead since there was already the edm kind of hip hop. Deconstructed Club and Brostep are already in the chart, and with those I went with Jam City and Excision since they came earlier. Regarding Jungle Terror, Electro-Swing, Glitch and Future House, I just couldn't manage to add them. The house section was a pretty though one to choose from.
