Pitchfork have released their top 200 albums of the past 25 years, as voted by the man/woman/non-binary on the street.

Radiohead dominate proceedings, Kanye, Arcade Fire and The National also feature heavily. 

It’s a decent list, especially for those bored of Rolling Stone mag regurgitating the same shit every year.

Not a bad list but 3 Radiohead albums in the top 4 is amusing. 

My biased and unwarranted complaints are:

- No Heaven or Las Vegas is blasphemy 

- Is This It should not be anywhere near this list

- Be The Cowboy should not be above Puberty 2, and Bury Me at Makeout Creek should be above both of them (and in the top 10 and the fact that it’s not on the list at all is outrageous).

- The list needs more Sprained Ankle

There are albums between 70 and 100 that should be in the top 20 easily.

I mean, you're right. SOPHIE, Destroyer, Weezer, D'Angelo, Robyn, Panda Bear, The Knife, Dilla and QOTSA.

haha can't say i thought any of those. But Arctic Monkeys debut and Is This It are criminally low. Added to Back to Black is too low too. Pitchfork 200 is basically 6Music 200 though isn't it.

I have 16/200

I never read pitchfork, except occasionally a review when they absolutely slate someone. I don’t consider myself a fan of ‘indie rock’.

I expect if Kerrang did a similar list, I’d score way higher…

Can’t believe Lateralus isn’t there, given the the rave review they gave it.

And I guess the readers got the memo on Sun Kil Moon.
