"Top 100 Albums Of When Now?"

(1/7) > >>

Johnny C:
So Pitchfork put out their Top 100 Albums of - I shit you not - "The First Half Of The Decade." While I disagree with a lot of the positioning, and a couple of the choices (Jay-Z's Blueprint, Pt. 1 is on the list? And it was where?), as a whole the list is a generally good compendium of records released in the last 5 years.

Or at least, I thought so. Anyone else see this?

KharBevNor:
Holy crap.

I don't own, and have never heard played through entirely, any of the albums on that list. Judging by the high prominence of things I absolutely hate  with a burning, holy passion (ie The Streets, Missy Elliot, Jay Z, OutKast) and stuff I don't like (Radiohead, Boards of Canada, The Books) I can say that I think it's a shitty list. Obviously, absolutely none of my favourite albums of the past 5 years appear on it, but then they do happen to be (Approximately):

Skyclad-Folkemon
Finntroll-Visor Om Slutet
Edge of Sanity-Crimson II
3 Inches of Blood-Advance and Vanquish
Carpathian Forest-Morbid Fascination of Death
Inkubus Sukkubus-Supernature
Dimmu Borgir-Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
My Dying Bride-The Dreadful Hours
Forefather-Ours is the Kingdom
Ministry-Houses of the Mole

So that was probably inevitable.

You, obviously, aren't cool enough for these here boards.   It's best that you just go.

ASturge:
the decemeberists had better feture on this so  called "list" or i may be forced to pitchfork some of the staff at pitchfork media, haha!

On the contrary, I contend that I am blasphemically cooler than thou.*
