Oh I didn't know this was like, the last part of the series of threads you've had on this competition. I thought it was just a thread declaring Low as awesome.

Anyway the answer is Low

Well, do we even need this thread at this point? I'm still voting for Funeral by the Arcade Fire, but can't we just award that title to Low, right now?

If you really wanted to turn the tide in Low's favor you could point out that if we say Funeral is better than Things We Lost In The Fire, we will be just like Pitchfork.

Forum, you now have the choice between a really good album and a pretty boring, standard indie rock record that nobody will remember twenty years from now.

I will remember it just to spite you.

I'll congratulate you if you do. Also Pitchfork's "TOP RECORDS EVER" will probably rank it in the top 10. and it does NOT count if you suddenly remember they existed because of Pitchfork.
I don't give fuck about pitchfork.

I'm not sure what the greatest album of the decade is, but it sure as hell isn't either of these. What the hell is wrong with you people?

I think Pitchphork should rate the best music of all time.

Beethoven

To be honest, Beethoven did not write concertos that were good, whereas Mozart did.  Also, Mozart's later symphonies heavily inspired Beethoven's early work.  I'd honestly say that Beethoven never figured out how to write a complete piece of music until his fifth symphony (despite the fact that I do consider his third symphony the first Romantic piece of music).

p.s.  Stravinsky.
