AKA The Pitchfork thread/the Hipsterfork thread. We must discuss stuff about Pitchfork here for they have done a lot of stuff extremely right but some stuff just horribly wrong. O rly? Yes rly. For example, they made the flawless and brilliant and perfect Paranoid Android 4th on their list of songs from the 1990's. That wouldn't have been a problem for me, but here's the thing; their number 3 was this:
HOW IS THAT BETTER THAN THE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY OF ALTERNATIVE ROCK, I ASK YOU?!
Now let's discuss Hipsterfork. The good, the bad and the ugly. Favorite reviews, shit reviews, favorite lists, shit lists, comments onm how ridiculous it is that some random hiphop song beats Paranoid Android according to Pitchfork, etc. etc...

Ain't nothing but a G thing BAAAABEH What's not sensational about that? I swear Pitchfork just try too hard. Thrice and At the Drive-in get (correct me if I'm wrong) less than 7/10, and given that their albums were both massively defining moments of post-hardcore, I can't help but feel that it's deliberately ignoring the impact of albums when it reviews them. Or perhaps personal preference is just getting the better of me...

For example, I can respect the Beatles for pretty much inventing music as we know it, but their music? Can't get into it, it doesn't do anything to me, few exceptions aside.
