This is the main list for the RYM Ultimate Box Set Project.We created the project to highlight not only the essential artists for everybut albums and even suggested tracks. It's about as easy a way to get into a genre as it gets and is a chronological mixtape with a purpose. It was created onand is still being very actively worked and expanded.If you are searching for a set try the search function here or using the RYM Ultimate Box Set Index which groups many of the sets in several different categories. If you see a set that's missing consider putting together a set for it whether you’re an expert or just willing to do adequate research and explore it fully. Here’s a guide on how to do just that and why I think genres are important and fascinating.See the Playlist Section for Youtube and Spotify playlists of many sets. If you'd be interested in assembling missing playlists for either let me know!♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Rules and Guidelines



spoiler: click to read

1. Concept;

A 500 cd fanmade true history of music, covering every genre from every era, with contributions of each disk by users with the necessary expertise and understanding for each respective genres. 500 discs was just a target for the amount of discs on the "completed" project and we actually have nearly 1,0000 with many holes in the collection still waiting to be filled.



2. Duration

The original intention was that each set should be as close to but be under 80 minutes. Many sets are multi-disc due to their size and length of the tracks however.



3. Content:

When making the ultimate box set you should include all the essentials. It should show the history of the genre in it's formation and cover the key artists, releases, and songs. I recommend going chronologically if you can to show how each genre developed over time. On any of these please look for input from other users or sources. Since these are virtual compilations please assemble your disc with that in mind. Please 1 song, per artist, per disc (unless otherwise warranted). Picking an essential track from the essential album is par for the course. See this list for help (



4. Genre

RYM genres arent set in stone, they're changing all the time, so they should just be used as a guide. Genre voting has changed where some releases stand and we also have a custom chart on rym for pulling up top releases by genre now. Many sets can also be considered movements and scenes by some. Any subgenre that someone is willing to put together a list and is a recognized or a structured genre can be included. We try not to discriminate and many genres or scenes weren't even on RYM before a box set showed that they should be recognized and added.



Please check the master list



5. Lists:

RYM lists will be used by anyone putting together the respective genre "discs". All genres and their respective lists will be linked from the master list.



If you are working on this project please send me a pm with your lists that you are working on (published or unpublished) and I will link them next to the genre you are working on and on your user name towards the bottom of the list. Working on a list without letting me know and letting me link them can cause duplication of genre lists from other users and makes cooperation more difficult so please assist following this format.



Please put RYM Ultimate Box Set > in front of your list title (followed by the the genre you are doing). Also link back to this main list in your list description. Please indicate your concept for the list and its state (first draft, almost complete) and allow for input from others users before its considered "complete". Here is a published list which which fits the model very well,



6. Notes

It would be great if for each list there is a short blurb on the genre (in the list description), maybe some history on the scope of the list, and maybe a direct link to the respective RYM genre. For each track a short bit of info on why it was picked and any background would be informative. Again these will add to any lists but are not required. Quoting other people's reviews or other blogs or sites is encouraged rather than discouraged (but link back plz). Sourcing what is already on the net strengthens your claims and understanding of the genre picks.



7. I'd like everyone to remember this project is about covering the genres we love and expanding people's knowledge of them. If you think an existing list is incomplete feel free to consider adding a complimentary disc to it or working with the original author to improve their set. I'd also like to mention as a side note that this is a LOT of work to head and coordinate this project so I hope people consider investing in keeping this project going by filling in missing new and old genres or expanding past limited prior sets. If you have a published list and plan on leaving RYM please make sure we backup and re-post your list before it's erased and needs to be recreated. 1.

New Blog

I've been working on a new portal to make the project even more organized and user friendly. Ultimately it should make it easier to maneuver around the sets and let anyone find what they're after. It will also be handy for external users to discover the project and our massive community. Signal boosts for the blog and the project are always appreciated.

As expected the RYM Ultimate Box Set has been difficult to manage from a single master list in combination with the private blog. This list based on an excel from the main list to consolidate this info from separate sources and do some needed regrouping and a full on data dump. As you should notice you should cntrl-f (find) to see if your locating a particular genre or set. If is not here it hasn't been done yet. Current as of now and will update this from time to time. Now that I use the Google sheet I've added many extra features like direct links to sets from the Index.

Missing Sets / Upcoming Ones



Floflo79 has the RYM Ultimate Box Set > Missing Genres list to capture what's missing from the project. I've included some additional gaps and put some rough draft information on what is coming soon. Feel free to volunteer on anything that needs an additional disc or set OR a genre that is missing.
