79-67 is a flawless run of singles but both lists are pretty good so far.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 16:37 (sixteen years ago)
"Since I left You" instead of "Frontier Psychiatrist"? I don't understand that at all. I will also NEVER understand the praise heaped upon "Umbrella," one of the most annoying songs of all time.
― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 17:04 (sixteen years ago)
These are great and interesting lists so far. Good to see Dom Passantino is still alive.
― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 17:05 (sixteen years ago)
"Frontier Psychiatrist" is by far the worst thing on that album.
― Disco Stfu (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 17:20 (sixteen years ago)
Agreed, it's "Since I Left You" over "Frontier Psychiatrist" for me, too.
"Umbrella" should be top ten.

but there needs to be space in the top ten for a few curve balls!

It's good to see Stylus back, but I doubt that another decade-cumulating special is what the world needs. The same names, titles etc. as every other best-of-the-decade list, really can't see the point of it. Sorry.
― zeus, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 23:24 (sixteen years ago)
And a big up for including "Achtung Bono".
Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" down at 72. that's enough of a point for me.

Wow, fastest turnaround ever?

Well, a few more pleasant surprises, and perhaps, yes. But the jury's still out.
― zeus, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 23:53 (sixteen years ago)
I just thought it was interesting how you seemed to dismiss it as yet another boring list, but praised them for including an album which I'm 99.9% sure hasn't appeared anywhere else. Of course there will be some overlap, but I think this has been the most interesting group list I've been following. I mean, individual lists are usually more interesting and group lists lose something in gaining a consensus, but this is still one of the more interesting ones.

RIP Passantino:
To be honest, not to deflate our comeback, but there were really only two differences between Stylus and Pitchfork. Those differences, specifically, were Brits and homos. Pitchfork may have had some of either, but our gays were gayer and our Brits were Britisher. So resultantly, we covered Half Man Half Biscuit (the Brits), country broads with their hair all done up and songs about attacking a cheating lover’s tow-truck with a lump hammer (the gays) and Swedish Europop (gay Brits).

"Pull Shapes" higher than "Romeo"? You're killing me here.

is this updated for wednesday for other people?
― moron oil (Gukbe), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 10:32 (sixteen years ago)
no and 80-60 seems to have disappeared off both lists.
― Home Taping Is Killing Zack Morris (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 10:49 (sixteen years ago)
yawn. It's Dom Passantino - the Stylus sub-editors versy own Salacious Crumb.

is that a drawing of Sandra Bernhard at the 'White Man in the Global Palais' article?

Should have been [thirsty_work.jpg] instead.

Today's 60-41 updates are up, but not linked from the home page. It's not to difficult to work out the URLs, though.

Who else could do all of this and still have time to remind us that even the worst songs from Thriller still have salvage value?
ummm...
I still don't understand the love for Graduation. Maybe if you took the best from that and 808 you could get a good record but as is, they are both butters.

Thanks for the heads up. Was getting antsy!

Good to see Mandarine Girl in there - the singles list is really good so far, unfortunate Los Campesinos inclusion nothwithstanding.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 14:29 (sixteen years ago)
Thanks! And just as I finished reading his Not Quite the Ticket daily post, too... excellent timing. All Ned, all morning.

One does try.

Is it a rule out there that every single best of the decade-list should contain "The Rat"? I've always thought I don't understand The Walkmen because I'm not American. But it seems, Britons are stupid too.
― zeus, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 16:28 (sixteen years ago)
I don't understand them either. Maybe it's cuz I'm from Miami.

they have other tracks?

Sadly, yeah.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 6 January 2010 16:33 (sixteen years ago)
I understand them but I don't like their aesthetic one bit.
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 16:42 (sixteen years ago)
Likewise. Also, I experienced a profound, axis-shifting metaphysical realisation while listening to "The Rat" in a railway station concourse. But that didn't really have anything to do with "The Rat". Or did it?
― mike t-diva, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 17:00 (sixteen years ago)
Wow, just heard the Los Campesinos! track for the first time. Would be better titled "Our! Music! Sucking!"...
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 17:23 (sixteen years ago)
saw them live a few months ago and thought they would have been my favourite band in 1999.
