pitchfork

"Brothers Gonna Work It Out" is not any less noisy than "Welcome To The Terrordome" (and neither is "911 Is A Joke", for that matter)

man y'all are some pychonian down-the-rabbit-hole motherfuckers

jumping through the plate glass of pitchfork's expectations

Public Enemy never got it right til they did "Give It Up" on Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age - YOU KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH

here's a new expression I'm working on: "You can't be too cool for school and then turn around and submit a thesis." What do you think?

Public Enemy never got it right til they did "Give It Up" on Muse Sick-N-Hour Mess Age - YOU KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh no

i was just thinking about this on my way to lunch and then typed it up when i got home, eesh

for real, though; remove the anti-Semitism and no one would have given two shits about "Welcome To The Terrordome" aside from the line "Hear the drummer get wicked!"

They don't have wifi at subway yet?

xpost as dumb as you think my posts are, congrats on topping it

ok, someone send up the Ott signal, i don't feel like talkin about this anymore

SUCCESS

it's kind of amazing to me that EVERY TIME pitchfork runs a list the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork for what amounts to a tabulation of ballots submitted by individuals.

uh, i still agree w/ u strongo

"there MUST be some deeper meaning!" yeah, and your toaster is talking to you, too.

yeah, wow individuals can't be subject to critical trends, I MUST BE WEARING MY TON FOIL HAT

especially individuals who all write for the same place, how could they possibly influence each other, what a mad, mad, mad world

hi dere, this is stupid.

also yes i feel ashamed for forgetting the shut 'em down remix. 3xdope is that.

Max, you can call me Jay-Z if you like. ;-)

Can we instead talk about how neither "cmon ride the train" or "this is how we do it" are gonna make the list?

like smug fucking dan perry with his "UH THEY LIKE IT BETTER ASSHOLE" but if you can't see the types of things that these type of ppl stump for changing over time, i honestly don't think you're paying attention, duderoo

how can you possibly wear a foil hat that weighs a ton!?

mihatweighsaton

this is ridiculously funny

do you guys actually read pitchfork

I just scroll down threads made about it

I read this list because ppl were talking about it

Then apparently I gave Whiney an aneurysm by making a hyperbolic unprovable assertion

Not to, you know, actually engage with your question, Whiney (especially since you took your ball and went home), but... To me, this list has been about clearing away a lot of the critical detritus from the 90's and calling out the stuff that actually resonated/resonates that didn't get magazine play back then. So you get "Your Woman," "Steal My Sunshine," "Lovefool," "Freedom '90" and other pop moments that haven't gotten a lot of critical play; you get all the indie touchstones, naturally; and you get the most lasting rap moments of the 90's (I'm expecting "Passin' Me By" and "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me" and "T.R.O.Y." in the top 50, for example.)

The problem with "Brothers Gonna Work it Out" is that it fits more in the overlooked gems catagory than the rap classics catagory (cuz there are a handful of PE songs ahead of it there.) But in terms of p4k's overall narrative, it seems pretty reasonable to me.

haha no he didn't!

btw I was the one who said "they like it best" so I would like my full credit for being smug and not paying attention

"but if you can't see the types of things that these type of ppl stump for changing over time, i honestly don't think you're paying attention, duderoo"

dude seriously it makes it very hard to engage you on this topic when you're essentially calling me "these type of ppl"

well, i just just mean pfk ppl. All writers—self included—are wittingly or unwittingly part of some narrative, whether it be Stylus, Spin, Pazz and Jop or the Hype Machine. I just want to better understand why the pfk narrative has evolved into what it has.

it's the inevitable consequence of eclecticism.

Seems like you already know though. New writers come in, read the old stuff, and go "not this but this." The site is having an ongoing conversation with itself, and with other publications.

Also what he said.

i basically said this upthread and ppl went NUH UH

also i dunno man a lot of the dance and rap blurbs have been written by people i would not in a million years consider experts in the field.

not to uh denigrate my peers or anything

well, i'm not gonna shit on any of the writers, but i can def say the dance/rap picks look a way more up on their game and less indie-rock "token-choice" than they would have in 2004.

"T.R.O.Y." in the top 50

This is definitely NOT gonna happen (sadly) and if it does I'll eat my fucking shoe.

oh well yeah i'm not gonna argue THAT either. xpost.

which radiohead track will be top 5

I heard sugar rays fly yesterday and sang along w/ it

which radiohead track will be top 5

I'm assuming "Paranoid Android"

"T.R.O.Y." in the top 50

lol what? troy is a fucking lock.
also jordan i think this is how we do it will be in it w/ no diggity as the two big r&b ranked tracks?

No TROY would be a damn shame.

I'm going to go ahead and call a Radiohead lower than expected shocker.

Wasn't "This Is How We Do It" listed as a "see also" track to something?

lol what? troy is a fucking lock.

I'd be surprised if Public Enemy dropped at #51 and Pete Rock/CL Smooth made it ahead of them, but I'm certainly happy to be proven wrong. Either way... Public Enemy is TOO LOW!

yeah, to "Poison" at #86
