I know quite a few... but tbh.

Pitchfork is kind of a hipster magaizine, they usually hate on anything mainstrem.

They really are on radioheads dick arent they? I have heard of most all of them and Im surprised how many I have.

I would ditch the first 2 and then start from there.

It's an iight list I guess.

fuck Shitfork

those guys think their farts smell good, they think they piss pineapple juice

unfunky/boring know-it-all assholes...

These are not so great. The Suburbs and Vampire Weekend in particular are painful.

I hate Pitchfork. They are nothing more than Rolling Stone magazine on the internet. Once this generation of kids grow up they, too, will be outdated and hanging on for dear life for relevancy. These things are meant to appeal to a very specific demographic. Don't let them dictate what you think is good or needs to be remembered in history. Screw those Radiohead dickriders.

Also:

• 4 Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
• 8 Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion

#8 is a shitty album. I had to sit through that once and it was fucking painful. How anyone can subject themselves to soulless bastardized African inspired music is beyond me.

#4 is ok, but the dude singing it sounds terrible.

I know it's opinion... but why the fuck is Arcade Fire in the top 5

I mean that album... sounds like a weak knock off of radiohead & 90's depche mode.

It's not a bad album, but............... it to me is not top 100 of the last 15 year let alone top 10

I don't see VooDoo?

errant said:

No Deserters Songs or Vespertine? Fuck off.

I think they're both in the 51-200 section somewhere.

In any case, this list is still way too male and white. However, I'd take it any day over a Rolling Stone readers list.

24. The National Boxer

I like this pick and a couple of others but really a very narrow minded list, Radiohead died after OK Computer.

Pitchfork is a parody of itself.

That is troubling that & that the white stripes elephant is only in the 20's & Miseducation is not even on there:shrug:

I really do love Radiohead... And i can agree with Kid A but the rest of there albums are not good enough for a top 50 that is le dick riding tot he fullest

Pitchfork sucks!

I have tried to like Kid A but I just don't see the appeal. Everyone says they love it but do they really? Do people actually put that album on and regularly listen to it? I have my doubts.

Weird. 13 made it but Blur didn't?

Plastic Beach was included but Gorillaz and Demon Days were not?

Pitchfork readers have no taste.

Demon Day's was the Gorillaz commercially successful album! so of course it has to not be on there You know how pitchfork work's.

I love Kid A, I think it i a fantastic album. But i do not listen to it often nor do i listen to Ok Computer often. I just have to be in a certain mood to listen all the ay through.

I do love Radiohead but i also don't listen to them as much as i did when i was younger, there just imo not a band you want to listen to daily. But don't tell hardcore Radiohead freaks that they will strike you down

I quite like the first three albums and there is the odd song from the post OK Computer albums that I like ("A Wolf at the Door" is one of my favourite Radiohead songs) but it pisses me off that they largely stopped writing good songs. Radiohead were a great band but the critics really need to stop overpraising every single thing that they release.

Pitchfork caters to kids hanging out in Williamsburg NYC, so "meh."

I'm also shocked there is no RHCP on the list , Pitchfork was all over Californication & By The Way's dick when the albums came out.

But i guess there to mainstrem to be seen as ''cool'' now.

Same with White Stripes, pitchfork & it's readers where all over them to.. but after they got big suddenly there albums where not up to par in the opinion of them & the readers.

I really don't see why people freak the fuck out so much when an artist they like get's success

It should be a crime not to put Ray Of Light or Velvet Rope on this list

Once again.. hipsters

Honestly, Radiohead have got to be the most overrated pile of doo-doo since, er, I don't know, Pink Floyd, I guess.

Yep, terrible, predictable list.

what? it won't get more mainstream middle of the road than Radiohead they top every fucking shitlist out there from the last decade, be it by critics or fans. and still I never heard even one of their songs. and I also don't know most artists on that list. teh only ones I own are the Kanye and Outkast albums

and where are Amy and Janelle?

or to put it politely, I think I will hardly ever buy that Pitchfork magazine
