Pitchfork Top 20 Albums of 2001 Poll

this list is rather uninspiring. I guess I'd go with either the White Stripes or New Pornagraphers, even though I don't think either one is a good listen all the way through.

and I would TOTALLY take Vespertine, Party Music, or especially I Get Wet over almost all of that list

"It's fun" is about the only legitimate excuse a guy could come up with-- and that's the one thing I'll give it to warrant the .6 in the rating-- but this world of music which history has graced us with is loaded with fun music. Even fun music with substance, fun music that doesn't talk to you like you're some kinda total dipshit that wouldn't know Boredoms from buzzworthy. And you don't even have to look that hard! So then, what is the excuse for a typically elitist music nerd to bow to Andrew WK's blistering tard-rock? That's right, folks: there isn't one.

kill. kill. kill.

"like you're some kinda total dipshit that wouldn't know Boredoms from buzzworthy" might be the most revealing part of the thing.

to irritate Ryan Schreiber

(altho it is a totally fun album and fun needs no excuses)

"people" means "lurkers". i hope. people really listened to the strokes huh?

Cold Vein was easily my favorite record of that year, but I haven't listened to it in a few years. Of those albums, The Glow is definitely the one I trot out the most these days.

Is this it

pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft

snrub OTM.

I'm surprised no one voted for the Dntel album. I still throw it on every once and awhile and it has aged much better than the Postal Service album.
