thread for tracking best music of the 2010s lists

I Voted(✓): https://pitchfork.com/news/vote-for-the-best-of-the-2010s-in-the-pitchfork-readers-poll/

(spent about 5 mins. on it; didn't knock myself out)

What shall we bomb that poll with. Coombes? Gotta be something more Pitchforky

nah I might vote seriously but it'll be pissing into the wind of their super-cool music-as-brand readership

It's telling to see the "autofill" options that they've pre-populated.

What shall we bomb that poll with. Coombes? Gotta be something more Pitchforky

Something that pairs well with an IPA?

macklemore

I just submitted a ballot. Was really annoyed that they had the album option for "In A Poem Unlimited" but not "Half-Free". By the time we got to "songs" there was a tonne of stuff that was missing. Oh well

You were allowed to type in your own choices, you weren't limited to the pre-populated ones (the instructions said just use the "Artist - Title" format)

You mean Artist: Title! Big difference lol

Richard Dawson is not an autocomplete but Keith Richards is. I call for a full and lasting boycott of pitchfork.com

Apologies – the “Artist - Title” format is a registered trademark of Imago/ILM Poll GmbH

Piss has met wind. The only two that autocompleted were Weyes Blood and ATCQ. So much for that. Fuck doing the tracks obv except I might vote for Pen Pineapple Apple Pen ten times

actually I will do the tracks later, the poll is too strong with me :(

lol at the idea that there are 157 songs better than hard in da paint

as usual, fuck pitchfork

7 Drake appearances. The following acts were celebrated by pitchfork then completely ignored in this list:

Earl Sweatshirt
Sufjan Stevens
Freddie Gibbs
Death Grips
Car Seat Headrest
The War on Drugs
Alvvays
Janelle Monae
Oneohtrix Point Never
Pusha T
Julia Holter
Chelsea Wolfe

archie, marry me does seem like an odd omission

we shouldn't give a shit what these wankers think. they've been the self-appointed keepers of the key for 20 years and they've done nothing with it except set up a us-centric canon of a particularly dull, zeitgeist-chasing hue. no alarms, no surprises, no point. we should let them subside into an irrelevant, embarrassing joke. no shade to anyone here who's written for them obv, you're good writers and your reviews deserve a better home

I'm also furious 'Teenage Dream' just missed the Top 100 but come on now...

the whole 'handing out scores and BNMs by committee based on trend positioning' model is just so fucked and bullshit, that issue underlies the whole problem

if brad or alfred or whoever wants their review to have a 9/10 score atop it then goddamn it, give them their 9/10

think we should all be suspicious at their attempts to put together a canon, whatever anyone thinks of the actual choices

my point exactly. obviously i like/love plenty of these songs

(well, a few)

and our 00's poll isn't comparable, before anyone starts out with 'but YOU'RE building a canon!' - a) we are not a public-facing brand advertisement corporation, b) our choices will be inevitably highly personal and anti-canonical and c) our polling process is very thorough and, ideally, forces us to engage with a vast multiplicity of music before we make any decisions

also we're just a bunch of mates having fun, basically

so let's be cool

The list stinks. Pitchfork stinks.

When are the readers’ lists published? Maybe those will be better.

they won't lol

I hope the decade-defining song which they'll be pilloried for missing is released in october 2019

No kidding; I don't get that. Why not wait a few months?

because nobody will be interested in 2010s retrospectives between 31/12/2019 and 01/01/2030.

Meanwhile I am currently making a mix of 2018 to be released in January 2020, they are smarter than me.

websites still run on magazine schedules in 2019

around the holidays my back issues of www.pitchfork.com really start to pile up.

The list stinks. Pitchfork stinks.

When are the readers’ lists published? Maybe those will be better.

Pitchfork stinks! Just wait till they publish the list of their hopelessly devoted followers, ha!

Well, I voted in that poll, lol. I’m assuming Pfork readers may have some interesting picks.

Wish I'd have voted now :)

the more interesting question would be if anything showed up in this list that had not been previously 'celebrated' via inclusion on one of their older lists, bnm designation etc.

For starters: Avicii - Levels

i'm so perplexed that that site continues to single out kurt vile's "baby's arms"... that song is not even a particular standout on that album, much less for the entire decade. isn't it just a song that they just gave bnm as a token at the time b/c it was the first track on an (admittedly great) album w/ no real 'singles'? idgi

Hahaha I hadn’t noticed that was the KV song they picked. Yeah I struggle to think that would be one of the top 200 songs this decade, let alone the best song he released. Any of his top 5 songs on spotify would be a better choice.

Runner-Ups is the real highlight from that album

if i had to choose a token kv song it'd easily be wakin on a pretty day

Runner-Ups is the real highlight from that album

yes!!

No sign of This Is America is a surprise in the pitch4k list.

GvsB list is a million times better than the Pitchfork one. Really feels like the only lists worth looking paying attention to for this decade will be ones made by individuals (or in this case, a couple of people) rather than the huge groupthink branding exercise lists.

Feel like P4k have just opened the floodgates here. Here's Uproxx's albums list:

https://uproxx.com/music/best-albums-2010s-ranked-decade/

Sorry that one belonged in the eoy thread not the eod one.

@JF EOY nominations r open: ILM's 2019 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

they chose the wrong 2019 thug song anyway

“hot”, not that it matters, forget I said anything

https://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/2010s-favorite-music-releases-staff-picks

I like how many of the lists challenge the idea of eoy lists

attn emo goons

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/100-best-punk-emo-albums-of-the-2010s/

lots of good records presented in a mostly baffling order

weird to see a publication fucking with white lung after their singer went full alt-right. they weren't *that* good

wait what

the white lung trajectory from "good punk band" to "alt-right shill in charge of penthouse, which is now also alt-right" was, from a 2012 vantage point, unexpected!

— David Grossman (@davidgross_man) December 12, 2018

that's a yikes from me fam

but I mean even putting that aside their placements are way too high imo

Wait, Penthouse is now alt-right???

despite the conor oberst association i really wouldnt have considered phoebe bridgers 'emo' so surprising to see her on that list

a lot of what gets counted as part of the emo umbrella is about association tbh

Was Elliott Smith emo? If so, what is different about phoebe bridgers which makes her not emo?

really liked that tinymixtapes list

might not be linked here yet
https://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/2010s-favorite-100-music-releases-decade

20 to 11 is ♥

Wait, Penthouse is now alt-right???

That article doesn’t seem particularly damning(?)

dang I didn’t know anything about the White Lung singer besides the music. I think I may have seen them live a few years ago.

https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/12/penthouse-right-conservative-feminism-politics.html

this article maybe focuses a little too much on some dumb twitter beef penthouse started but does detail its rightward shift under barber-way (though it doesn't explicitly attribute it to her, she's been in charge since 2017)

there's some pretty damning stuff in that twitter thread too (publishing noted white nationalist mike cernovich is probably the worst)

Just going through some year-by-year lists and one thing I've not seen much mention of is Dysnomia by Dawn of Midi. Great record.
