Talk Talk at #11. Sounds great to me.

Did you see the Rolling Stones Top 500?

link

That was a bit too much as well.

titsworth should get a kick out of the obvious fact that
they changed their top 100 to fit the trends.

they do have a point about revisionism. I'm always
discovering old stuff and revising my list of "classics."
I'm sure they added more hip hop this time. there's still
too much boring indie rock, though.

actually, I'm surprised at how many of these I own, across
genres. maybe they do have decent taste, after all.

my bloody valentine at 2, very great. too much hip hop in
the top 100, not so great.

all i have to say is Loveless is way better than OK Computer

to much hip hop?!? how many classic hip hop albums must have
been released in the '90's? if they're gonna try to make a
multi-genre list, they should really commit and replace some
of the post-rock shit that everyone will have forgotten
about in a couple of years anyway.

1) i don't like hip hop
2) it's not a multi-genre list.

how is it not a multi-genre list? it's not called the
pitchfork top 100 pretentious indie rock albums of the
'90's.

no corn.

i forget about hip hop 30 seconds after i hear it, post rock
seems to be the complete opposite.

thats the only thing that seems great in a rather piss poor
list. even the artists i like and respect seem to have their
worst albums put on it. beck, for example.

how does this list fit the trends?

anyways, like half that list i dont even care for but ahh
well. its really hard to do lists like this i mean how can
you place something higher than something else for so many
different albums. a top 5 or 10 list isnt as bad but even
25 albums is hard for me.

Typically worthless list from a typically worthless
publication. And yet, I still read it... more for the
descriptions and comparisons in their reviews than the
numbers and actual REVIEW... it's got its use for finding
good, obscure music.

No Pearl Jam on this list? I don't even like them, but you'd
think they'd make it. Guess they sold too many albums. And
they really suck on Radiohead's dick, don't they?

oh, silly pitchfork.
the list wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, but it lost
its relevance in typical self authoritative pitchfork fasion
with the sentence
"it should be reiterated, however, just how much better OK
Computer is than Loveless, and why people somehow forget
this."
not because loveless is better or vice versa, but in that
they are being compared in such a way.
but i guess 'top anything of the such and such decade,
century, millenia, etc.' are are all silly for such a
reason. i guess magazines need them as perennial fillers for
slow periods though.

if you're in the indie scene, not the dorky idm/post rock
one, then you'd know the trends.

i know you like some indie, but that doesn't mean you're in
the scene.

*pretentious*

sorry but I dislike that pitchfork list

there are things I like and some others simply I just
respect, but there are LOTS of pretentious music

Such lists are a bit stupid but this is a good resource. I
found a few really amazing albums by seeing the Q Top 100 a
few years back and that was voted for by mainstream rock
fans.

I'd have put Endtroducing at number one though.

not much point arguing with a list like this... obviously
everyone has different opinions, those are just the albums
pitchfork picked...

exactly. all this anti-pitchfork crap is stupid to me. might
as well be anti-any publication because they do essentially
the same thing pitchfork does.

all reviews, no matter who does them, are all based on
opinion... people who are paid to review albums for music
hopefully have a good knowledge and background for music,
and the different styles and stuff, especially for the
albums they're reviewing, so they can give a fairly
intelligent review... but it's still just the opinion of the
reviewer...

they don't have good taste in music, they just know what
they're supposed to like. they're good at observing trends
and imitating people who know what they're talking about
when it comes to music and aren't just trying to be cute and
cleverer-than-thou.

didn't read the list, don't have to, i know how pitchfork
operate. they may give credit to good music but they don't
get it like most of us do. they think about music wrong. i
know people are going to criticize me for saying that but
that's what i think and i've earned my right to have that
opinion having read their site for so long. i'm through
though, i haven't loaded it in 2 weeks and that's a lot
since i like to pilfer their news for my f2k page.

Don't get me wrong, I like OK Computer, but Loveless is like
the perfect album, and it has inspired way more decent
musicians than OK Computer. Pitchfork are cunts.

About that Rolling Stone list.. I don't think it's awful,
but there are THREE Beatles albums in the TOP FIVE.
THREE IN THE TOP FIVE!!!! And eight total in the top
HUNDRED!!!! Goddamn, I like the Beatles, but they are by
far the most overrated rock band of all time.

the beatles deserve to have 8 albums in the top 100, or 5 in
the top 15. But i don't understand why their first album
'please please me' from 1963 is at #39?
