Seems that Bitchfork found a new dick to ride on, fuckin' Kanye West... lol Where's The King of The Limbs by Radiohead? They literally put all of their output in the last decade in the Top 10 of the 00's best albums!!

I don't understand the love for Nicki Minaj, or Nicki Minaj's Beez In The Trap! That song made the list of Best Tracks... eek eek confused Either PF critics can see something we can't see, or YMCM payed some good $$ to get that.

I agree with all the MBDTF love. Yeezus? not so much lol

I'm suprised Deerheaven, Arcade fire & M83 Aren't higher. Overall it's a pretty decent list. But i don't take pitchfork as seriously as other music nerds though.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

I don't get the love for MDBTF tbh, I tried, and I tried, I swear I tried.... the only tracks I like are All of The Lights and Dark Fantasy.. but I understand that Kanye put a lot of effort into that sonically.

No love for pop music as always,, I also can't get the love for Arcade Fire, I love Funeral, but The Suburbs & Reflektor are average albums to me..

Pitchfork are such snobs, they're ready to take any indie song that has literally no meaning any day over some decent pop rock jam...

These are the albums I own on the list. Mostly ladies of course.

Wow, the FKA Twigs record just came out and it's already considered one of the best of the decade.

I feel so out of the loop, since these are the only ones I have out of the 100... they overlooked a lot of awesome albums for many overhyped, hipster favorites though confused

If you will, so will I

Almost every music critic and outlet has been riding Yeezus since Kanye projected "New Slaves" on all those buildings interntionally, before the album even dropped.

The only reason I think people were so high on Yeezus was because it had Kanye's name on it; strip away the over-hype and one can see that it's a wack ass album, easily his worst to date.
