Pitchfork's P2k: The Decade in Music

Discovery didn't even beat Kid A in this board's albums poll IIRC so expecting it to win Pitchfork's is a stretch.

(I voted for it as my #1 tho)

can't believe this decade peaked in its first year

^ yea, seems like a lot of these are from 2000

well, actually not too many now that i'm browing through it. just some of the classics

*browsing

can't believe this decade peaked in its first year

2001 was pretty good too

I think the biggest surprise in 50-21 is that Kala landed at #22. I fully expected that album to place in the top ten.

I'm holding out hope for Kish Kash in the top 20 -- I would be thrilled.

I can actually see MPP being #1 if not Kid A. I'll be surprised if it's not one of the two.

The whole decade has been very good imo (overall). Somewhere in the introduction to the Top 200 discs feature Pitchfork says that the list from this decade stands up well against those lists it compiled for earlier decades, and I think that's right.

(Unless Kevin Federline's album turns out to be No. 1. Then I'll have to revise my opinion.)

basically this list can have whatever it wants as #1 because it made me happy simply by ranking Kala above Arular

If I had it my way Calexico would be on there.

^^ otm

if MPP is number one, I will leave the internet for good. xposts.

no bark psychosis, no cred

Come on Gukbe. Pitchfork isn't forcing taste on you.

"Shit, my favorite album of the decade so far wasn't on the list. Guess I was wrong."

Thing is, dude, you will get some people who think like that.

Nuts as it is.

no problems with my favourite albums not being on the list.

^^^^OTM. Feast of Wine didn't make it? That's odd.

Disappointment is a silly feeling towards this list.

Yeah Feast of Wire would be on mine if I ever made one.

some big shockas in the 50-21: madvillainy, kala and fever to tell are all albums i expected had their feet solidly in the door for top twenty. guess i was wrong! kala is probably album of the decade imo, or atleast like if i were a music critic and had to justify it with words y'know. i'm relived tvotr and fleet foxes won't be in the top 20, though.

btw i'm not sure if this was mentioned upthread since this morning, but i'm not in the mood for will smith and didn't want to open up the rest of the thread to check.

bon iver higher than expected

IT'S HERE AND I LIKE IT

Oh yeah Herbert: Scale is another missing. Right?

what a bunch of retrades

how dare they

Shouldn't say "missing" I guess. I don't give a crap either way.

top 20 is relatively easy to predict, basically albums that at this point well they couldn't possibly be left off the list.

sufjan stephens - illinois
the strokes - is this it
lcd soundsystem - sound of silver
outkast - stankonia
jay z - the blueprint
radiohead - kid a
daft punk - discovery
animal collective - merriweather post pavilion
panda bear - person pitch
arcade fire - funeral
missy elliot - under construction

Kid A above Amnesiac would also make me very happy

thats only 11 albums, you are rubbish at predicting this. :)

Don't know about Missy, but yeah otherwise.

i know an album that all the top 20 fanfic ppl are forgetting but i won't embarrass myself by posting about it

is it Green Day

i know an album that all the top 20 fanfic ppl are forgetting but i won't embarrass myself by posting about it

that's good, you've been doing an excellent job of dodging embarrassment on this thread so far

Could Yankee Hotel Foxtrot be a contender for #1, or is P4K too over its Wilco love affair these days?

yeah the rest are kind of risky, but those 11 i would bet my left testicle on. and the missy elliot, i just figured that so addictive wouldn't be the only missy album on the list, which might have been silly logic but i dont think so.

pretty toney?

xpost oh yeah, oops.

My Left Testicle have a new album coming out, right?

My thoughts on this list- I should dig out Donuts again and finally get around to listening to all them Kompakt things. Don't really care about the order, but would love to see Discovery or Blueprint beat Kid A.

It's true, it is dumb to feel disappointment about something being left off the list, but I can't help feeling a little glum if y'all are right and The Drift gets left off. Just because I thought ppl started to finally "get" Scott Walker Mk II this decade. God knows no one wanted to hear about Tilt the first five years or so after it came out. Mebbe you guys are right though, everyone at least gave a listen.

BTW Scik, Scott W is American, not a britishes.

All I can say is Love and Theft better be in the top 20, or I may be forced to write them a sternly worded letter.

if MPP is number one, I will leave the internet for good. xposts.

Gukbe is off the web because of you.

only two or three of my favourite albums of the decade have been on the list so far, and it doesn't bother me a bit. 200 is a really small sampler considering how much music gets released in a decade. also i don't want to sound like a sarcastic ass but is there some kind of joy or satisfaction in having your tastes reflected or reaffirmed by internet lists? i can't really imagine feeling that way.
