Fun Stuff > BAND
Although this place hates being like Pitchfork...
Kyros:
I was pretty pleased with the Albums that were included, my only beefs were with the Rankings. Probably my two most played albums from this decade are The Thermals' The Body, The Blood, The Machine and The Dismemberment Plan's Change
They were both on the list at 186 and 97 respectably, but I think TBTBTM got robbed, Top 50 fo' sho' yo.
michaelicious:
I am kinda surprised that Source Tags & Codes was all the way up at 100. Not because I think it's that great or anything, but didn't those asshole give it a 10.0?
KharBevNor:
Wow, I have actually heard 20 of these albums. That's a solid 10%! I even liked about 17 and a half of them. I might even have included some of them in a similiar list of my own devising.
That said of course, to my ear this list is utterly dreadful. Justin Timberlake? What the fuck? I know it's hip to like shitty stuff but just stick to like, Rock Me Amadeus or something in future. Though I suppose I can understand in the context that pretty much everything on the list is just slightly nichey mass-marketed pop/rock music so I suppose a lack of pretension is cool. Also, Mastodon and Queens of the Stone Age? Way to show how you don't know shit about anything. And I still can't stand the fucking ridiculous wankfest this site has over Radiohead. I've had more interesting bowel movements than Radiohead. I guess I had never heard of some of the stuff, which is odd, I normally at least know the names of all these bands by now.
TheFuriousWombat:
That got me interested, actually. I have heard in full 115 of these albums. After counting I would say, of the ones I've heard, I genuinely like 71 of them. At that rate, one could assume I would like 124 of the full 200, or around 62%. Doesn't mean I agree with their place or even presence on the list but not so bad, that. The point is, there's a ton of good music, I think, on this list.
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
I'm surprised Sound of Silver didn't rank higher than it did on that list.
It bothers me that Merriweather Post Pavillion is ranked so high. That album has a few great songs, but as a whole is a big ball of boring.
And is it just me, or is Leviathan the only metal album on there? What the hell, Pitchfork?
I supposed all said and done, that list is like everything else related to Pitchfork: a lot of it is good, some of it is great, and much of it is utter bullshit.
