Boards visitors started and own. Nobody at WhichBeats reviewed them — which is also the offer: the lists further down are ours and closed, so anything missing from them is a board of your own.
WhichBeats categories
Ours, and closed to submissions — the entries come from us, the ranking comes from your votes.
Screen
Movies, series, games, anything that's related to a screen really.
- Films Every genre and every decade in one ranking. Vote →
- Actors The whole career, not one performance. Everyone who acts in one ranking. Vote →
- Anime Anime series, judged as a whole. Films belong on the film board — this one is shonen against seinen, not Ghibli against Pixar. Vote →
- Directors Judged on the body of work — the films they made, not the one you saw last. Vote →
- Streaming services Judged on what it is worth paying for: the catalogue, the app, the price. Vote →
- TV series Whole series, judged as a whole rather than by season. Vote →
- Video games Games of every era and platform in one ranking. A 2024 release and a 1994 release are the same question: which is better? Vote →
Music & audio
Atoms that vibrate and manifest in your consciousness.
- Albums Albums as albums — a whole record, front to back, against another whole record. Vote →
- Songs One track against another, every genre and every decade in the same ranking. Vote →
- Bands & musicians Whole careers, not single records. Solo artists and bands in one ranking. Vote →
- Podcasts Shows, not episodes. Which one is worth the commute? Vote →
- Rappers The GOAT argument, one pair at a time. Every era on one board — the career, not one verse. Vote →
Sports
Balls with the power of making humans move and sweat. How delightful.
- Soccer players The best to ever play, across every era, in one ranking. Vote →
- American football players Quarterbacks, linemen and safeties in the same ranking. Vote →
- Baseball players A century of it in one ranking — the sport that argues about this more than any other. Vote →
- Basketball players The GOAT argument, one pair at a time. Every era on one board. Vote →
- Ice hockey players Skaters and goaltenders in one ranking, from the Original Six to now. Vote →
- MMA fighters Every weight class and every division in one ranking. Who is the better fighter, not who wins the hypothetical bout. Vote →
Sports teams
More sports.
- Soccer clubs Clubs from every league in one ranking — the club game is not organised as one competition, and neither is this. Vote →
- MLB teams A century and a half of it, judged as whole franchises. Vote →
- NBA teams Franchises across every era in one ranking. Vote →
- NFL teams The franchise, not a season. Rings, rivalries and the decades in between. Vote →
- NHL teams Original Six and expansion clubs in one ranking. Vote →
Food & drink
Fuel for our squishy bodies.
- Fast food chains The chain as a whole, at its best. Not one bad branch at midnight. Vote →
- Whiskeys Bourbon, Scotch, Irish and rye in one ranking — which would you rather be drinking, price included. Vote →
- Beers Everything from a macro lager to a Trappist ale in one ranking. Vote →
- Candy bars The wrapped stuff at the till, in one ranking. Price is not the question — which would you rather be eating? Vote →
- Chips & snacks Savoury and sweet in one ranking, because "which snack is better?" is a question that works across that line. Vote →
- Coffee drinks What you order, not what beans it was made from. One ranking for every preparation. Vote →
- Soft drinks Everything cold and non-alcoholic, in one ranking. Vote →
Tech
For the nerds out there.
- Game consoles Every generation in one ranking — the machine, not its library. Handhelds count. Vote →
- Mechanical keyboards Pre-builts and enthusiast boards in one ranking. Judged as shipped, not as modded. Vote →
- Headphones Cans, buds and in-ears in one ranking — what would you rather be listening through? Vote →
- Programming languages One ranking, every language. Not "best for web" — better, full stop, and let the votes argue about what that means. Vote →
- Smartphones Phones of the last few years in one ranking. Price is part of the judgement, not a separate board. Vote →
Characters
Hope I don't get sued for this.
- Pokémon The whole National Pokédex in one ranking. Not battle tiers — which one is better, which is a different and much older argument. Vote →
- Disney characters Heroes, sidekicks and villains from the Disney canon in one ranking. Pixar has a board of its own. Vote →
- Movie villains The best villain, not the most evil one — a slasher and a space wizard in the same ranking. Vote →
- Pixar characters Every Pixar film in one ranking — the character, not the film they came from. Vote →
- Superheroes Marvel, DC and everyone else in one ranking. The character, not any one film or run. Vote →
- Anime characters Every series in one ranking. Not a power-scaling argument — which character is better. Vote →
- Star Wars characters Films, series and everything else in one ranking. Droids included. Vote →
Tabletop games
For the IRL nerds.
Living things
Not necessarily conscious.
Getting around
When walking is not an option.
- Cars Models, not generations. Everything from a commuter to a Corvette in one ranking. Vote →
- Airlines The airline as a whole — not one delayed flight. Full-service and low-cost in one ranking, because the price is part of it. Vote →
- Airports Judged on being in one — the terminal, the transit, the queue. Hubs and destinations in the same ranking. Vote →
Places
Just places.
