pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

no

actually idk but vu & nico seems most plausible to me

Pet Sounds obviously

gonna go out on a limb and say a black person will not take the number one spot

1. Vanilla Fudge - VANILLA FUDGE (1968)

they'll definitely want to make a "statement" of some kind so I can't see Pet Sounds being #1. In A Silent Way seems like a decent outside bet tbh

Any reason as to why "In a Silent Way" might overtake "A Love Supreme"?

they are going to make #1 the Coca Cola song and the write up will be about how Arcade Fire is still DO YOU SEE about the commodification of music

it will be extremely bold of them to make the no. 1 album of the '60s a jingle

Any reason as to why "In a Silent Way" might overtake "A Love Supreme"?

Cultural momentum. It's definitely been having a moment in the last decade or so

it's also easier to talk about its influence on various indie types

i for one would rather not see a love supreme top this list *rehashes entire argument from 2011 over which deej got yelled at a lot*

No way a love supreme gets it

I didn't really know "in a silent way" had become so praised either tbh... when I first started on ilx I think the "rock critics know better than 80 years of jazz criticism" pick was "on the corner"

Spiritual hat jazz will def have some strong placings I'm sure

I don't anywhere that makes as big a deal of In A Silent Way as this board tbh

I mean it's a good record but idk if it's become universally hailed or whatever.

feel like Spiritual Hat Jazz's best stuff/most canonical stuff came out in the 70s but yeah I could see Pharaoh Sanders' "Karma" showing up. I don't really recall Pfork having a lot of love for Sun Ra or Yusef Lateef but who knows. Late-period Coltrane will def be represented.

They did a spiritual jazz feature, didn't they? Like an introductory playlist or something.

200 albums is a lot, that's twice as much as the 70s/80s/90s lists, so I'm pretty sure they'll include at least something by Sun Ra.

the #1 album of the 1960s will be something that can be paired with a delicious dogfish head 90 minute IPA, accompanied by a write-up explaining how the author's first time drinking that beer coincided with a time of renewed appreciation for the album, plus a pun in one of the song titles that relates to something about the brewery

i assume all of you are regular october readers like i am

xxpost They gave Sun Ra- Singles a 'Best New Reissue' back in December

In a Silent IPA

they are going to make #1 the Coca Cola song and the write up will be about how Arcade Fire is still DO YOU SEE about the commodification of music

white light/white hops then

Hope to see Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy on there with Sun Ra.

Song Cycle will be in there, but not nearly high enough.

Song Cycle is overrated as hell.

yeah that is a p annoying record

Oh boy, a woke '60s list. Can't wait. I was actually wondering what their late-August decade list would be bc for some reason I thought they had already featured every possible option.

Discover America is a much more enjoyable VDP record but I'd rather listen to The Mighty Sparrow tbh

Aug 2019 is obviously when "Best of 2010s" albums and singles are happening.

Really disgusting that they're being woke about the decade of the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Stonewall Riots

A woke list would be much more interesting than having the Beatles/stones/Dylan dominate the top 50

Equally boring. A truly interesting experiment would be making Pfork writers review the 200 most popular albums 1960-69.

review dozens of beatles/stones/dylan albums?

"after dylan's motorcycle crash, he holed up in woodstock and stepped away from the "zzzzzzzzzzzz

I have a feeling that Forever Changes will win this poll. The Velvet Underground seem like the other obvious contenders but they are more likely suffer from split voting. Personally I'd like to see Scott 4 win.

I thought we did a good job making an interesting list with this: http://www.spin.com/2013/03/best-100-albums-1960s-sixties-alternative-list?amp=1

did someone already post "A Beer for Every Beatles Album"?

https://oct.co/essays/beer-every-beatles-album?utm_source=p4k

heh, no, but i kind of referenced it upthread. honestly i think that fell in the so bad it's good category, i read it all the way through

most popular as in best selling? (which I guess would include lots of original cast albums and easy listening and stuff?) that does sound more interesting than a canonical list.

Song Cycle is overrated as hell.

According to Dogfish founder and president Sam Calagione, the ale is "the ultimate partner for chili or spicy curry chicken" and best enjoyed "sipped cool, not cold, from a snifter or red wine glass while listening to the Bitches Brew album."

hahahaha

i think i've ran across the bitches brew beer before, but didn't realize it was a dogfish joint

hey, i woudn't be mad at bitches brew at #1, though that would never happen

full disclosure, we have a bottle of that stashed away

Bitches Brew beer is amazing tbh
