It's on. And it's surprisingly boring and Rollingstone-ish, I've heard pretty much every single one of these. Maybe they're saving the controversy for the latter half of the list. Nilsson Schmilsson is there, so I gotta commend them. |

i'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes, backing off of the north east winds sailing on summer breeze and skipping over the ocean like a stone. |

as long as they choose "remain in light" and not "fear of music"... |
||||||||
|

ok, "remain in light" was released in 1980. they're off the hook. for now... |

any band with the word "Schmilsson" in it has to be sweet |

Ha, Van Halen. Pish. |

Gettin' down to the nitty gritty. Let it Be is at #27... higher than I thought it would be. They keep surprising me! Countin' down from 30 to 21, we got such guys as Miles Davis, Can, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Neu!, Brian Eno, The Ramones, Wire, Serge Gainsbourgh. Tomorrow, the top 20. Any picks on who'll be first? |

pink floyd? |

Not a chance. What Floyd is left that they'd consider? Maybe Blood on the Tracks will get first. I dunno, I don't read them enough to have a good gauge on what they love. |

nice to see cosmo's factory by CCR get a mention, i think its their best album by miles, most CCR fans think its their worst... i thought the plastic ono band, the wall & rumours would be higher but i guess theyre a bit scared of losing what credibility they have with the 'hardcore underground' |

no sign of transformer (yet)... |

I thought Ono would be higher, too. They had great things to say about it, but why put a legend like Lennon above overrated abrasive hacks like Wire? No chance, Vance. But overall, I'm pretty happy with this list. All the ones I thought would be snubbed (Led Zeppelin) made it, and the darkhorse picks like Throbbing Gristle, that rare Big Star album and the like have been rock solid. I wanted a Black Sabbath album or two on there, doesn't look like it's going to happen. |

i don't know a lot of these. this might be a ridiculously reductive and sweeping statement, but i really don't think i like the seventies sound. with some exceptions, like can, etc. |
||||||||

Well the 70's is the decade I listen to the least. But it's all relative, because I still listen to tons of it. There were some specific musical movements and ''technical innovations'' from that period that period that really turn me off, more than any other. |

ew david bowie. |

It's all over now but the cryin'. I'm about as happy with this list as I could possibly be, actually, all things considered. Marquee Moon is a tad high, and there's no Madcap Laughs, but it's a solid effort. Bravo Pitchfork. I can hardly believe Zeppelin did so well. Better than I expected and better than I think they should have. |

i'm not a big 70s fan so i'm shocked i own 4 out of the top 10. dylans voice goes straight through me and bowie bores me to tears. and i did think LZ4 would be number one. but its nice to see another green world & TEE, 2 must haves for any serious anally retentive electronic music fan like myself. |

the man who fell to earth is bearable i suppose, but even that sounded better coming from kobain. |

Bowie's always underwhelmed me, too. Jack of all trades, master of none. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was never underwhelmed by bowie's early stuff. his most recent albums are agreeably poor but he has so many gems that he will always be one of my all time favorites. he is also a master showman, some of the best live shows i've seen were bowie shows. |

I would have liked something like Deep Purple's MADE IN JAPAN, or Dylan's THE BASEMENT TAPES or DESIRE. |

id like to respond in regards to the bowie dissing in this thread... i think you all need to listen to Low and then realise he is a god. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and how can you say his more recent albums have been shit???? HEATHEN!!! Its his best since Outside... listen to heathen... it must be fashionable to dislike bowie at the moment, he's a fucking gentleman, and a better musician than any of us could ever dream to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bowie is great, low is brilliant. but it's plainly obvious not everyone will agree with low being the best album of the 70's. |
||||||||
|

even met at work are better than david bowie |

you is laaaaame |

YEAH! tellit! |

it's kind of funny the way the only jazz albums on the list are miles davis... funny but not surprising... regardless, i am glad pitchfork took the time to do this... i hope they do a 60's retrospective soon... but they ought to make that one a top 500... shit man, shit |
||||||||
|

after reading this Pitchfork list it's more than clear why I really dislike that site. They don't include any Alice Cooper or Kiss albums!... ok ok... maybe those are too cheesy for them, but man, no any Black Sabbath??!! that list was a total joke, I missed "Music for Airports" even when there were other Eno albums. Reading their individual lists makes better sense since I saw "Dark side of the moon" rated high by various writers, and some ABBA, Zappa and even Judas Priest listed here and there, except for the guy who rated number one "Congos: Heart of the Congos", that guy must be smoking serious crack nothing personal, I hate Pitchfork |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if they put shit like kiss on there i would be pissed off... what would be the fucking point of them doing such a list if it was just going to look identical to what rolling stone would come up with? and really now... have you even heard the Congos album? |
||||||||

whats the fuss about, if this list changes your perception of music theres something wrong with you. its only an opinion! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It bothers people when other people make their opinion sound like complete and utter fact. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah theres a point in that .. i dont care what they write tho, if they think (read:say) amber was poorly sequenced, so what, i like the music myself.. and about kiss not included in the list, they clearly have different opinions. so what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Overall, I'm very happy with the list, they didn't disregard stuff like Zeppelin and the Who for inferior obscurities, and the lesser known stuff that they included was mostly all very deserving. Great stuff. Neto- I was saddened by no Black Sabbath as well. Very misunderstood and underappeciated band. And I agree that they should do a 60's list, that would be gear. And it would cause E-riots. |
