nikkic Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Pitchfork have released their top 200 albums of the past 25 years, as voted by the man/woman/non-binary on the street. https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/peoples-list-25th-anniversary/ 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I actually don't hate that top 15, outside of Yeezus and Blonde. I'd put Taylors 1989 in my top 5 though. It is a very Pitchfork list though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I’m down with it. It’s a very ‘Pitchfork of old’ list, which is funny considering that it’s their current readers who voted it. Despite their best efforts, their readership is still dudes on forums listening to Wilco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalschools.price Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I’m obviously miles out of synch with the fans of this website. I only like 8 of those 200 and most of those 8 wouldn’t make my personal best 200 albums of the last 25 years.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Radiohead 3 of the top 4? How very Pitchforkian. Anyone else quickly scroll to see which Radiohead album was at number 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you're at it, stand up straight, do up your tie and sing some proper lyrics etc Lol my maths failed me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I have 49/200. Don’t know what that says about me. I’m not in a rush to get any of the other 151. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchmaster Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 65/200 and that was me being fairly conservative in the counting (didn't count albums I may have listened to once or twice and mildly enjoyed but haven't gone back to in a long time).

kalifire Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 When people say they ‘have’ a number of these albums, what do they mean? A physical copy? I stream everything and don’t have anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
