Pitchfork's P2k: The Decade in Music

forget it, matos. it's a middle school in chinatown.

LOCK THREAD

please

I have a feeling I'll be taken to task for this list, but here's some other stuff "outside PFM's top 10 acts of the aughts" that I love, because Mordy asked. Scrolling through iTunes . . .

Television, Gang of Four, Talk Talk, Scott Walker, Slint, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Tool (will get shit for this), A Perfect Circle (ditto), Kraftwerk, The Focus Group, Dinosaur Jr, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, Aphex Twin, VU, Big Black, Brian Eno, Pavement, Portishead Nick Drake, Mission of Burma, Bob Dylan.

Missed a comma between Portishead and Nick Drake.

wow u guys r totally dignified and awesome

There's good stuff there! You should talk more about those people! Honestly, I'd prefer you start a Tool thread and earnestly defend them than explain why Joanna Newsom is the bomb.

you know, maybe I've changed my mind now

XXP Jeez, stop being a fucking white knight dude. Just think of this thread as a scene out of Irreversible.

i kno rite

You will never get shit for liking Tool or APC.

perhaps on planet ned.

Not from you, Ned, but I'm pretty sure Tool is more or less universally loathed by people here.

nah i like tool

Hey I can dream.

u will find fans

i am now imagining the gaspar noe version of ilx. it involves a metaphor for my wasted life raping me in 2009 and the film then progressing back to 2001.

kshighway no offense but I don't think you've got that much grasp of what's universally loathed by people here

i forgot this was the thread where everybody rated each others taste

iirc we couldn't find anything that didn't have a defender

I'm guessing not much is universally loathed here, considering all of the threads I've seen on a million different genres, so let me correct myself: I'd be willing to bet that the majority of posters on ILM don't have an especially high opinion of Tool.

so who wants me to post the pfork singles list in full?

j/k

strongo thinks very highly of Tool, btw, he's got truckloads of hatemail from a "their last album was better" review to prove it

1. "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)"

xp

hows about i post my assignments and everyone tries to guess where they placed?

2. Crazy Frog, "Axel F"

3. "The Thong Song"

4. Daniel Powter, "Bad Day"

5. "Heaven (DJ Sammy Remix)"

wow u guys r totally dignified and awesome

6. Antony & the Johnsons, "Hope There's Someone"

7. "How You Remind Me"

8. Avril Lavigne, "Complicated"

i'm confused--like should i be surprised or not by who is being retarded on this thread?

classic bein a dick on the interent stuff here - takin notes 4 sure - good 2 no how the rode in the olde tymes

lol

9. "Poker Face"

10. Lamp, "♀ + ♂ + ♋ = ☿"

11. "where's the love?"

Wow this thread is now a full on nostalgia trip

At some point, this thread became my favorite ILM thread in at least a week.

12. dream - "he loves u not"

13 "incongruous juxtaposition"

I don't want to jinx it, but this is quickly turning into A++ thread.

strongo, you wrote the P4k review for 10,000 Days? (For some reason, because of the "ghost" at the end of your name I thought you were someone using their display name to refer to the fact that Jess doesn't post here anymore for some reason, similarly to how max's display name refers to Dom (RIP).) Still figuring out who's who behind the names here.

Anyway, 5.9 is a pretty fair rating for 10,000 Days. I don't really like that record. Lateralus was better. It's the only Tool record I still own.

"The Thong Song" should, but won't, make the list.

14. Chad Kroger & Josey Scott, "Hero"

14. dj assault - "nipples n clits"

Morday, if ILM and P4k are still around in 2019, I will start a thread about Pitchfork's next best-of-the-decade roundup and dedicate it to you.
