Pitchfork’s recent Best 200 Albums of the ‘80s list is, all in all, pretty damn solid.

[Flamencology]

Yeah, yeah, I know. You all hate lists because they’re subjective and you’re uncomfortable with assertive pronouncements about subjective stuff because you’re going through that philosophical phase. Or maybe it’s because these lists never include the really awful stuff that you deeply love, and that leaves you feeling hurt and rejected, like your ex who moved out and took all your furniture.

However, though you never admit it... you also love these lists because they’re fucking fun.

Now that we’ve got that tired nonesense out of the way, let’s dig in.

who moved out and took all your furniture.

Sounds mighty specific. You're among friends, don't hold back.

No ex’s (I’ve only ever lived with my wife) but Jammity cleaned everything out of our pool house when we let him crash there for a week.

Tabula Rasa is not an acceptable omission.

Comically bad list, but exactly what I'd expect from Pitchfork: endless attempts at credibility.

Predictable response is more predictable than any list Pitchfork has ever published.

I will check into it after work

Wasn't me. I only took a couch and my bookshelves.

The site keeps giving my laptop the 'waiting wheel'

Please tell me they at least included Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell, and Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime

The list is wrong if those two are left out

Neither, mercifully.

Neither, mercifully.

Then @Danhedonia is correct.

Heaven and Hell is at least listenable. Operation: Mindcrime is just cheesy prog by folks who read way too much 1984.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Janet's Control over The Queen is Dead. That's odd, but I agree the list is respectable for the most part.

 

[Devil is Dill]

A shame that Cherry Pie came out in 1990.

 

[Danhedonia]

Then @Danhedonia is correct.

I'm always correct. This is what @Flamencology cannot handle.

It is his burden, buried between the cushions of the couch taken by his true love.

Locust Abortion Technician wallowing at #189? The little millennial scamps!

 

[Tralfaz]

meh

 

[vonbladet]

Galaxie 500’s _On Fire_ though. I love it deeply, but ahead of the Valentine’s _Isn’t Anything_ is bold. Very bold.

Total garbage.

An abysmal assemblage of nihilism meets hipster douchebaggery. A pissing match for the title of "most eclectic and academic connoisseur". Pathetically pandering and disingenuous, it checks all the usual "I'm so brilliant and superior" boxes with heavy nods to the avant garde's usual suspects. Typical fanboi patronage and pseudo insights wrapped in the woefully narrow vocabulary of the modern music critic. "Vignette" made more appearances in that list than it did in olde timey Hollywood. Like clockwork, a scripted circle jerk wherein the worst offenders lined up to suck all the usual dicks.

I swear, Brian Eno and David Byrne must have permanent hickeys on their Willie Johnsons.

Yoko Ono...

Need I elaborate further?

That list was an embarrassment to all who took part.

More pedals than the Tour De France

Is this a thread-shitting I see before me?
