Pitchfork: The Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s: 20-01

thankig u max

i'm tempted to start a meta thread where max thinks he's posting on gawker instead of ilx

the opposite would be funnier

to you

html is hard to keep track of yall

LOL @ OutKast losing this poll, totally undeserved.

it was a lame outkast choice so deserved imo

nice work voting in this thread ILM.

order looks about right for this board.

pretty lame poll from a pretty lame e-zine
but nice work

Dudes that's like no one's favorite OutKast song let alone someone's favorite song of an entire decade

otm

also it was going up against "juicy" + "nothin but a g thang" + a wu-tang clan song

it has no business finishing in last tho

yeah i wanna know who voted for that and not "juicy"

yeah but that's the problem w/ half the songs they picked. it's like an artist of the 90's poll dressed up as a singles poll. most of these songs are barley in the top 10 for each these bands. xxpost

i get hopping mad thinking about it

? im saying its easily top 5 outkast track for me. i would have picked 'skew it on the bbq' first but barely

i was just saying what the inverse of whiney's statement was

I would have went Elevators tbh

i dont think im giving away any important staff secretes to suggest that it might have also been in the running

voted for spottie, but more in support of outkast than the song, rong as that may be. but shit, better that than NMH or whatever.

lol otm at Pavement beating Radiohead

I don't get why "Paranoid Android" is now considered uncool. I still think it's kinda perfect, and just as fresh sounding as the first time I heard it.. It's my favorite song of the 90's, and possibly ever.. And as long as they were occasionally choosing weird 2nd or 3rd or 12th most popular songs as their selections, I think "Aneurysm" would have been a stronger choice than "Teen Spirit."

But I voted for "Protect Ya Neck" because I think #1 should've been hiphop instead of Pavement. While any "best of the 90s" list without Pavement should be considered incomplete, I think NYC hiphop defines the 90's more than any other type of music.

glad to see NMH faring so well, but don't know what anyone sees in 'loser', which to my mind is beck at his obnoxious worst.

frankly shocked wu beat biggie

frank WHITEly shocked

smells like suggest ban

"i'm a loser so why don't you kill me?" - OK THEN, happily!

I don't think ILM hates pitchfork.

It doesn't. One or two very vocal posters do and everyone piling in for 300 posts when they say so kind of skews every discussion to look like it's somehow more hated than it actually is.

Wu beating Biggie is p otm. Juicy is a terrible pick imo. Also didn't Spottie win the Aquemini poll? Would have gone for only 3 'Kast tracks over it (Players Ball, Elevators, Return of the G).

Wu beating Biggie is p otm. Juicy is a terrible pick imo.

sb

its still a dece song but won't make my top 20 biggie tracks.

that's fucking insane

i mean, i generally prefer wu to biggie but still think that "juicy" is better than any wu-tang song or maybe all but a small handful of rap songs ever

yeah u r crazy dude

i mean

birthdays were the worst days/ now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay

but then again you hate bone thugs n harmony so i take your opinions on rap music anyway

with a grain of salt anyway

spottieottie is amazing classic untouchable & way better than like choosing 'rosa parks'

ILX's coolness toward "Rosa Parks" is so disappointing.

i mean, i generally prefer wu to biggie but still think that "juicy" is better than any wu-tang song or maybe all but a small handful of rap songs ever

fixed

"rosa parks" is great but a way more boring (and somewhat inferior) choice

Inferior as a choice maybe, not inferior as a song imo.

party & bullshit
gimme the loot
things done changed
warning
the what
unbelievable
big poppa
who shot ya
somebodys gotta die
hypnotize
kick in the door
