Lists and articles such as these always make a bunch of people angry, and to be quite honest I didn’t expect much considering it was coming from Pitchfork. Aside from Blackdown’s column I admittedly don’t pay much attention to the publication.

These transgressions aside, the list is well-roundned, and the top twenty is fairly on point. They provide good context for the tracks they have selected, and obviously brief biographical information when needed.  As someone who spent their formative music years growing up during this time period, I cannot deny the effect a lot of these selections had on me. As it was explained yesterday, having a proper understanding for of my past musical tastes does provide some insight into how I approach reviews today.

I don’t want to give any of it away, so I leave it to you to go read it and formulate your own opinions.
