But, a dubstep/house/electronic album can never be the best album ever created.That's a pretty bold statement.
And is "best album ever created" even a thing? Since music is an art form, I don't think it is, since its purely subjective.
No i'm fairly certain it is. Look on any top (insert number) albums of all time list, and find me one electronic album in the top 10. Maybe groundbreaking albums like Daft Punk's discovery, but that's a special case because of the long lasting impact it had on the electronic scene. There's no argument for electronic music when talking about the objectively best album or song.Again, sine when does popularity really mean anything? I mean obviously it means a lot of people like that artist/band, but what does that really mean?
You cant say it's unbiased point because it's based of many people's opinions and not just your own. For me, I and Love and You will forever be the greatest album ever. That's because it impacted me more than any other album likely ever will. Hell, it impacted more than most people ever will. But most people are going to disagree with me. If you look at the top albums on iTunes right now, Les Mis is the most popular. Does that mean it's a better album than IaLaY? Hardly. That just means it's currently in style for people to buy it.
I see what your saying about personal preference, but you really need to realize that popularity is very very important to greatness. I'd love to have the 3edgy5you state of mind and think that Radiohead's In Rainbows is the best album ever (which arguably it is) because of how much i liked and how much it impacted me but let's be real here. Even though Radiohead is a fairly popular band, they'll never be as recognized as they should be. For example, Michael Jackson was a fabulous artist, but what made him the musical god he is today was his ability to make music and videos that were approachable and likable by everyone.
