Watch out, we got a badass over here.

went a little over 100, but I'm guessing they'll just trim that off

Okay I'm seeing Homogenic on a lot of lists, I'm thinking this might do very well.

As it should, tbh.

yeah, i'm not a fan, but i'd be very surprised if it didn't score high

I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One seems to be another old-timey favorite.

and damn. just got my list down to 100 by ruthlessly enforcing a 1-per-artist rule. cutting stankonia and white chalk in favor of stuff that could never possibly make the top 1000 just about killed me, but i did what had to be done. down from nearly 150 when i first looked up from adding stuff...

kind of astonishes me that i had to write in for hello nasty when 22 albums with the word "hello" in the title are there for the clicking.

hi

2.0: http://peopleslist.pitchfork.com/list/a2dbd57c/

^ more or less unsorted

thanks mh!

xps Nice, except you picked the wrong Hot Snakes album.

Top Pick
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West

oh

i'm sayin

i truly don't understand a viewpoint where that's kanye's best album. it would be like telling me my mom is an alien or some shit.

nice to see someone else with makaveli and flockaveli

Also, can you imagine Kanye's ego explosion if he were to win a poll like this where "the people have spoken"?

My only Kanye album was Graduation but I've accepted I'm alone about it.

i wonder what write-in votes, if any, will place. don't see any consensus appearing to form around any.

reasonable doubt is the big one

as far as rap i mean

i don't think kanye has much of an idea of what pitchfork is tbh

he def does, esp since the 10.0

yeah are there any non-rap write ins that could place? i have no concept of that

pretty sure Kanye depends on critlove for moral propulsion these days

i'm not sure if that's true either

his world seems incredibly isolated to me

Pitchfork is big enough for Kanye to keep tabs, I'd think. You don't have festivals on two different continents and still fly under the radar.

i don't know if someone getting perfect marks from every pub really cares more about one than the other but if so i kinda imagine 5 stars in rolling stone is a bigger feather in his cap (while still meaning a fraction of what his various grammys mean to him)

if kanye gave a fuck about pitchfork cool points he probably would've played the festival at some point

i don't think kanye has much of an idea of what pitchfork is tbh

oh i highly doubt this

as for what will place/write-ins specifically, we should remember this is not an ilx poll, actual pitchfork readers are allowed to vote in this

i just came to terms with mbdtf being my favorite of ye's when doing this. hasn't fully sunk in yet.

creeping #peopleslist on twitter and the only album i've seen more frequently listed (highly) than mbdtf is voodoo.

Pretty sure that Brighten the Corners is a lock for one of the write-in placements.

xp Voodoo is all over the place on these ballots. Year 2000 Pitchfork wouldn't know what to make of that.

i'm sure kanye has clicked on pitchfork for a few seconds before spending another hour looking at hypebeast or whatever

i'm sure kanye KNOWS what pitchfork is, obviously. but i don't think you'll hear him saying "kim's a 10.0 and so is my last album" on 'cruel summer'

of course Kanye knows what Pitchfork is. That doesn't mean he would deign to play their festival

xp Voodoo is all over the place on these ballots. Year 2000 Pitchfork wouldn't know what to make of that.

ship wrote a review for them that they apparently didn't accept!

but again, what ballots

i could see voodoo being in the bottom of the overall top 100. obv it's not coming close to sniffing MBDTF

what's funny is Voodoo is in their archive i guess from being in their best of decade list, but it was never reviewed. i remember because it was one of my sample reviews that got me hired, but the only one that didn't get published.

xpost lol k3v's xls is impressive!

although it was already several months old at that point is probably why, i mainly wrote it because i was annoyed they hadn't covered it already

ship i thought i remember you saying that you didn't really give voodoo much of a chance up until very recently (like the last 2-3 years)

ILM ballots and fb friends' ballots. However, I realize I live inside a bubble where people who'd vote in this poll don't listen to mopey dudes with greasy hair all day long.

right that's what i'm sayin. remember who the voting base is here

cmon kanye def cares what TASTEMAKERS think & pfork is exactly the kind of thing hed care about

hmmm did i? it was more the opposite, grappled with but ultimately embraced it early on, but it fell in my esteem over the years as i heard Brown Sugar, Instant Vintage, other things i hold in comparison to now

fuck i just realized i didn't vote for Instant Vintage
