(Please read this Diagram by diagram, that's how I intend this text to be read, one by one)
So I just analysed (well, two days ago) my whole vinyls collection and it's artists. Out of that analysis came 3 diagrams which I want to show you guys.
So the first thing you will probably see in that digram is the form. It's kind of a spike form where it is wide in the beginning and becomes pointier further in the front. This is probably how most of these digrams would look like. If you have got a music collection, that is. You have got your go-to band or musician which make up a large chunk of your collection while you have got some artists that you tried out once and didn't like as much or the artists which put out one really great record that you bought but not that much more, so you only got one superb from them. For me that go to band is obviously the beatles, you can see them as that blue spot that is far to the right there.
However before going any further, let me tell what that diagramm even tells you. The horizontal axis is just the total amount of vinyls I have got from an artist. The other axis is just the average score of an artist. So putting them together shows you pretty much how good I find artists based on their average scores I gave them.
Now the second diagrams will be much more interesting, as it has got the names of the artists and where they stand on the list. So it is pretty much just a different version of the same diagram. The red stripes just being the total number of record, the horizontal axis. And the blue stripes being the average score of artists, so the other axis.
You're probably first going to look who is at the top spot, if you haven't done so before reading this part already, if not, then go ahead now (very patient of you, awesome!), so this is where you can see one of the things I explained in the first part. Actually, you can see that with pretty much all the artists in front of the Beatles. Kendrick Lamar is with an average score of 10,5 at the first place. This is due to the fact that I only own one of his records which I bought and really liked, even though he very much is different to the thing I said earlier, as the one I own "GNX" is probably the worst of his record, so if I had any other records of his, then I did probably put him even higher. Like for example if I would own "Mr. Morale & the big steppers", which I did give at least a 12, maybe even 13, then he did be far in front of the others.
The one that is really an example of the rule I said, then that did be the fourth place Carole king, of whom I only own 1 record I heard things before hand "Tapestry" and nothing else, so that is why I bought it. King Crimson, David Bowie and Kendrick Lamar all are at this place because I didn't get to buy more yet. Kendrick Lamar would rise, King Crimson would probably fall a bit, and David Bowie would fall off a bit too if I had more of their records.
On the other side of the coin are those that I didn't like or were just REALLY unlucky. The unluckiest of all here probably being Jimi Hendrix. I own 4 records of his, 2 being studio albums of his which I gave at least a 9/10. However the two others I own are from after his passing with which he probably didn't have any involvement in. Out of those two also came the Album that has the lowest score out of all the records I own (a 3/10).
Some of my favorite artists are down in the list because of some records that really destroy their whole ranking. The two who lost the most out of that are Jimi Hendrix, the unluckiest out of all here and also George Harrison. Because of "Extra Texture", which I only gave a 6/10, he goes from a 10,4/10 (which would be by far the second spot) he goes down to 9,666667. So even my favorite artists doesn't fair all too well.
Some other artists who get put down the most by one bad apple are Peter Gabriel, Donovan and Wings.
Also the most average musician/band on here is Ringo Starr being only 0,002 points away from the average of ~8,336/10
The last Diagram out of all the Diagram is this one, which obviously is a timeline from when my Vinyls come. This one is the one that surprised me the most. Apparently I really like collection 70's music. 39 out of my current 86 Vinyls come from the 70's, or 45,3% of my vinyls. I really thought that the 60's would make up that chunk. Also only own a single vinyl from the 90's, 2000's and 2010's, those being the 2001 Rick astley "Free" vinyls, 2001 Wingspan vinyl and the 2018 Jojo part 5 soundtrack vinyl. So you can guess during which decades I really don't like the most music off.
Well that's it.
Thank you very much for reading all this! Even if you only looked through the diagrams a bit, totaly understand, way too much text
