Would be funnier if it were more accurate I think. Also they've actually reused, almost word for word, some of the jokes from last year.

the "over" writeup is shameless & embarassing but so is everything they've ever written about drake. this list is pretty hot so far, though. i always appreciate their eoy trax lists most in years when i wasn't really paying attention to p4k goings on during the year

i lol'd
I mean, the first guy has Thomas Koner, Kevin Drumm and Keith Fullerton Williams which are pretty cool so the other ones should be interesting. As for the second one, I can't fucking stand Joanna Newsom but she has plenty of never-heard-of japanese stuff that looks rad. Kinda like reading volcanictongue or The Wire EOY lists.

This is a pretty funny thread though, with everyone bitching and bitching about how boring and similar these lists are, but when presented with one that really looks completely different from the rest (the Classic Rock), its all, "lol that is an awful list full of awful music". No pleasing you guys at all, is there? "Different" lists only count if they have the records you like?

random thoughts on pfork traxxx list:
don't get the big deal w/r/t "round and round" -- i mean it's okay, but.....?
worst song on the LCD album at #3 = looool
can't believe "fuck you" is stuck at #26, that is CRIMINAL
think "CMYK" is the better james blake track..
worst sleigh bells song at #14, there's a reason the album is awesome but none of the other songs sound like fucking "rill rill"
oh, and wasn't "exhibit c" from '09?
― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:40 (thirteen years ago) link
p4k list has a lot right on it!
but i'm shocked about the placement of "i can change"
― ok (Tape Store), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 06:55 (thirteen years ago) link
and "rill rill" is beautiful (my no. 1 last year!)

― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't think i would label any song from that album a "standout," but at least I see how p4k could (stupidly) think "'All I Want' = our '"Heroes"'!!!

IMO this is the best P4k EOY Track list in years. The last two or three had some real garbage, but this one seems pretty OTM for their audience and taste.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 07:17 (thirteen years ago) link

21. Azari & III - "Reckless (With Your Love) (Tensnake Remix)"
this is one of the most overrated trax of the year imo - don't get me wrong i really, really like it, would bruk out in a club, it's a lot of fun - but if you're going to reward azari & iii or tensnake or that sort of music, there's a lot better out there, and it all just looks a bit like a really lame "lolz i recognise a c&c music factory sample lolz" reaction.
