Whatever people choose, but with second turn. Too many times a fragmented vote makes it seem like a certain candidate has larger support when it is not the case
Some years ago, a friend recommended me the following albums:
Atom Heart Mother
Animals
The Wall
Dark Side of the Moon
I liked some tracks of the last album, but overall none of the albums clicked for me. I am aware they are respected by the wider community, so I guess I didn't get them.
This very much feels like disloyal competition. If you burn through your money in the hopes of sweeping out the competitors, and then you have to dial back on your competitor's practices, it's a dead giveaway you've done something fishy

Answering the title: one thing can't be denied, and it's that production quality has been in a steady decrease from the 80s onwards. If you can look past that, there are some current really good music groups.
Now onto the body of the message: I am a big prog rock fan, but I can't stand Pink Floyd. My dad can't either, we never ever spoke about that but found ourselves agreeing on it when I turned 20. It seems like there is a large gap in quality to the likes of Alan Parsons, ELO, Genesis, Yes and whatnot.
We're having our particular technological revolutions as well. In little more than a century we've managed to construct computing devices with capabilities that may have taken thousands of years to be achieved by nature.
Historically, I've perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
It's flooded with bots as well as karma farmers. You can tell by the way they write down their comments.
For better or for worse, you'll often find real people at the reddit comments when sorting by controversial. Often for the worse, but sometimes for the better.
That looks good, but I've not seen much about replacing the screen with one ready for using a Stylus and taking notes at class, do they not sell those? I don't want to be using a tablet plus a laptop for the rest of my life!
Every album I've ever encountered seems to have a mixture of bangers and one or more meh or outright flops. It's easier than ever to skip over the tracks now, but as the question asks: what's is, in your opinion, the perfect album, or does one/can one even exist?

Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human?
I know current learning models work a little like neurons but why not just make a sim that works exactly like how we understand neurons work
