thank god pitchfork is there to hook up all the 9 year olds who otherwise would have no idea what was poppin back in the 90s.

if i had a music blog, it would totally pwn pitchfork.

so this is the best song of the entire decade, the one above all others, seriously? what? i've heard every single track in the top 20 except this one.

leave it to hipsterfork to put a track "you probably haven't heard of" on top.

or did i miss something? i don't care.

haven't bothered reading the list yet, and who knows what their criteria is but yeah, you missed something! perhaps they're not for you but spend a few weeks with their discog.

Jesus dude. I'm embarrassed for you that you don't know Pavement.

you're a fucking nutsack.

i've never heard it either, and after 30 seconds of that trash i can tell you it is an equal or greater value of faggotry than anything Pavement every did.

sad site. and all they did for they're top 50 or 100 videos was throw darts at anything off of those Palm Pictures, Work of Directors series DVDs w/ Spike Jonez and Michel Gondry and all that. little or no work done on that list at all.

WATMM's Top 100 will be quality

Gold Soundz is one of my favourite songs of theirs and, by extension, one of my favourite songs ever.

Faggotry? If that makes me a faggot then sign me up.

i read a really good rant on pitchfork reviews reviews earlier about how people who have a problem with their criteria just don't GET pitchfork.

when i was in high school i would go over to my friends’ houses and talk to their parents about music and their parents would tell me about following the Grateful Dead on tour or seeing Bob Dylan in his prime or going to Woodstock or some other legendary classic rock moment that they witnessed firsthand, and the implication was that the thing they had lived through and witnessed was something legendary, something earth-shaking, and it was their shared moment and they want to commemorate it and have it not go unnoticed or underappreciated by younger people. how many books about the beatles are there, like literally 500?

 

so Pitchfork is not run by omniscient, culturally colorblind and objective narrators; it is written by guys who LOOK LIKE they could be in Pavement, for whom seeing Pavement in a small room in 1992 was THEIR personal woodstock, and they wear the same styles as Pavement and in a slightly alternate reality they would have been in Pavement, and there is an Extraordinary Everymanism in Pavement that must be more appealing to the 35-year-old indie critic in a button-up than the tragic rockstar exceptionalism of kurt cobain or the holy inscrutable intellect of thom yorke or the idiosyncrasies of thousands of other bands

edit: also, if you've never heard pavement you either

a.) shouldn't be reading pitchfork because clearly you're going to hate every word you read

or

b.) are a massive cock

If thats the best track of the 90's then Im glad I was too young to comprehend most of that decade.

Good point.

I lol'd when I saw Pavement @ #1 just because they didn't give a shit at how predictable that would be. I liked that this list had ravey stuff on it, not because I worship pitchfork, but because no one really does discuss that beyond niche blogs and forums.

Yeah pitchfork is pretentious bullshit (what pop and indie music journalism isn't) but Rolling Stone still worships the over-discussed past, is a decade behind every trend, and serves as payola for the major labels. Spin will always be Gen X outlet, and NME will make sure we know everything about the Libertines and shit like that. WATMM's list will be awesome to WATMM and WATMM only. That's how it goes.

fucking Gold Soundz is certainly qualified for the song of the decade title you faggots
