        They hit the De La review out the park, tho. Seemed pretty accurate to me. Same with the Sonic Youth review.

        As far as rankings go, I don't think anyone ever matches up with everyone's ideas of first or last, regardless of who writes them. Subjective things like music, movies, pussy...people don't tend to agree 100% on much. Except maybe Telcat, or something.

          i don't think it's fair to take a stab at pitchfork just because you aren't familiar with the artists they're reviewing

          maybe you haven't heard of some of the stuff simply because it's not your flavor of music?

          all of that being said, i don't agree with their list despite knowing pretty much all of the names on it


          !!! i had to edit this because i realized the really, REALLY bad pun i accidentally made with the whole "take a stab" comment. man i'm a tool for doing that and not even realizing it. !!!
          Superficially,

              The only thing I think is stupid are the pitchfork fanatics who live and breath whatever pitchfork tells them to. I know a few ppl like that who like exactly what the reviewers at pitchfork tell them is good.

                  43: Scissor Sisters
                  Elton John on crack

                  41: Les Savy Fav
                  The lead singer is the weirdest man in music, Facetious has a good story about their gig he went to

                  40: The Walkmen
                  Really really good cd (fuck you facetious)

                  38: Morrissey
                  I dunno why but this seems like a novelty record to me, his lyrics seem really basic without any substance or backing for the criticism and he delivers them like a child

                  33: The Futureheads
                  Didn't impress me when I saw them, poor man's Franz Ferdinand

                  27: Interpol
                  Great record even though its not my kind of thing, according to my Winamp Media Library 'Evil' was my most played MP3 (reformatted recently)

                  26: Franz Ferdinand
                  Everyone's got their own opinion on them so you don't need mine

                  24: TV On The Radio
                  Whats so great about them? I got an EP off of conc and it just seems run-of-the-mill average indie to me

                  23: Modest Mouse
                  Really good record, can't see why people don't like his voice. Couple of good singles but I like the way they make indie that can appeal to a lot of people whilst remaining highly experimental

                  16: Dizzee Rascal
                  He's got one decent song which is so good I've forgotten what its called but MY GOD HIS VOICE!!!

                  15: Annie
                  The NME said it was good, but then it later described it as 'bubblegum pop' which annuled their previous point

                  7: Devendra Banhart
                  What a fucking hippy

                  4: The Fiery Furnaces
                  Also hippies with the stupidest lyrics and I'm sorry but thats not my thing

                  3: The Streets
                  If I want to hear a streets song I'll just phone up my mates and talk with them

                    That never happens on the radio or mtv.

                      I know scissor sisters, franz ferdinand, air, bjork, dizzy rascal, the streets, les savy fav, interpol, modest mouse, kayne west and that's it.. I don't agree with it but hey, it's their opinion.

                        I thought the Ghostface album kind of sucked, but whatever--their prerogative.
                        Music and medicine, I'm living in a place where they overlap.

                          Anything like Bulletproof Wallets, or Ironman?

                              Just noting that mainstream pop kids are not the only ones who eat from the hands of reviewers ... indie kids do the same thing.

                              I think I only recognize bout 6 or so from the list btw. Where is Snow Patrol?

                                I don't really feel like researching, so I'll ask the obvious question.

                                What IS Pitchfork? Is it the hardcore underground indie kids' musical Bible or something?
