Excuse me if there is a thread like this elsewhere.
Are there any people on Rate Your Music here? My user name on that site is the same as this one.

I like their "greatest of all time" chart, Abbey Road at #1!

I just spent a half-hour looking around RYM, and while there were a few things that I liked about it (three Black Sabbath albums in the top 100? W00T!), other things, such as all the negative Little Earthquakes reviews, made me want to cry.
All in all, I definitely prefer BEA.

I see the two sites as complementary.

I agree.
I use both sites to find new music : I usually browse through the different genres on RYM, and I love the BEA chart concept.

Something that's annoying me about Rate Your music right now is that my ratings don't seem to have an effect. I'm reading over and over about the weighted system, ratings dropping because I gave high ratings etc before going to forum. I may of missed something.
Here is a good example:
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single..._the_boys/
Maybe part of the site is that I can't see the effect I have on the ratings 
Other than that the site is fantastic. Motorcycle Emptiness in the top 300 singles of all!

I'm finding this discussion really interesting. Both sites are approaching things from different angles.
RYM is attempting to catalogue (and rate) every single release in history and BEA is attempting to just surface and bring attention to the ones that are worth a look (we are not interested in filler).
Both sites use different mechanisms to rank their albums, RYM uses a ratings algorithm and here we use charts.
We are going to add genre data into the site (a lot of the background work has already been done), so hopefully we can make the browsing experience even more rewarding once this is live.
