Here's the best albums list.

I seriously can't believe how mundane it is. They are missing so many brilliant records. Why is To Be Kind on the list instead of The Seer, or the infinitely underrated My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky? They can't even say how TBK fares in comparison to other 2014 albums yet, but they can apparently say that it's better than The Seer, which ranked above the 2012 albums on the list by far.

Where are Fuck Buttons?
Did they happen to catch any of the truly unique underground records of the past 4 years?

Are they even trying here? Seriously, where are all those Dinosaur Jr. albums they've loved so much? Have they forgotten the Flaming Lips are a thing? Try to count all the missing mixtapes that they overlooked for Clams Casino's ok instrumental? Thee Oh-Sees? Wooden Shjips? Black Bug? Rayon Beach? Gold Panda? Botany? DJ Koze??? Plaid?

Honestly, look at this list: it's so obvious that it is completely unrewarding to know that Kanye's at #1. I'd be more excited, and surprised, if he topped his own list, for fuck's sake.

But look at this: do any of you NOT recognize any of these artists? Is anyone thinking, "who the fuck is Miguel?" or "Deerhunter? Isn't that like a movie? Or a deer hunter or something?"

???

I'll bet not. I would wager most of us know of all of these artists, and are well acquainted with well over half of the list. I thought Pitchfork was about the "real" good music... The stuff that was so good only the guy who made it in his basement even KNEW it. Wasn't that the effect they were going for?

Well, I guess they decided to say fuck it, because this might as well be a Billboard list. You don't even have to get on the internet to find these albums. They're all at freaking Fred Meyers and Walmart.

So the decline of the motherfucking pitchfork era is absolutely imminent. The average american is probably ahead of the curve they're setting here. That is hilarious, because I hate them, but sad because people are going to continue reading, and trying to build their suit of cool-mouflage out of the Drake and Beyoncé albums they see here. Ugh.
