Pitchfork Puts #1 Next To Kid A (Again)

Oh look an obscure reference to a band only four people like is in the header of the music forum. How novel and unexpected.

Pitchfork Puts #1 Next To Kid A (Again)

These guys are like Rolling Stone, who put out a new list of something every couple of years so they can say Sgt. Pepper's is #1, they just do it with Kid A.

The list is interesting, although patently wrong, and it's funny to see them put albums they didn't like, like "Elephant," and leave "Boys and Girls in America," which had one of their most glowing reviews ever, out of the top 50. Also to put "Funeral" at #2 and compare it to "In the Aeroplane" in the 50 word blurb, to put the potentially two most overrated albums of this and the last decade side by side, but then leave "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix," literally everyone's darling for this year, off entirely.

Z.S. Ghost and I compared the choices of the songlist in a fairly intelligent fashion

Zack Hoagie and I yelled at the choices of the songlist

the best part is I Get Wet being included when they gave it a 0.6.

not MY darling.

Pitchfork record reviews can't consider the social impact of the album, because it hasn't happened yet. End of decade best of lists can consider it. I don't see why everyone's panties are all twisted up.

Just for fun, I checked out their 'top songs of the decade' list and had a good laugh at three goddamn LCD Soundsystem songs in the top 25. Oh Pitchfork, never change.
Michael Bay is a shit director but a fascinating man. He slapped Ben Affleck and told him to shut the fuck up after he pointed out that it would be easier to teach astronauts how to drill then drillers how to go into space.
