+1 to this. You'd think a website that prides itself on being "indie" would look past the mainstream of Hip-Hop.

Every time I hear that guy's voice I though up a little in my mouth.

Eh, not to be that guy that takes flippancy seriously, but hasn't Pitchfork defined what mainstream is for awhile now? Because that's sort of a ridiculous statement considering actual mainstream stuff (as defined by top 40 radio) is generally absent from this list as far as rock is concerned. Nickelback is not here, nor is Bruce Springsteen. Actually I haven't listened to top 40 radio in awhile, so maybe they've been playing Antlers and Arcade Fire and I just don't know what I'm talking about.
Really I'm going to have to agree with Brett and say that the genre that's most "mainstream" on their list is hip hop, as it largely consists of big hitmakers, particularly Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne. The farthest out they go is Ghostface Killah.
Johnny C:
yeah this list is "big indie." it's all about perspective.
