pretty drab list in my opinion

the glow by the microphones is just abysmal.. pretentious, tuneless pith.. and strawberry jam is my least favourite animal collective album

i don't really find much congruence at all between pitchfork and my personal tastes

hi, Pitchfork have always been my favorite outlet for music reviews,and their my go to page for new music. This week they released their list The Top 200 Albums of the 00s. Personally i think its the best anyone will do with this sort of list, for this decade. My only two complaints are how low The Glow, Pt. 2 by The Microphones was (#73), and one of the rules of the list was every band had a 3 album maximum, that means Strawberry Jam was not one of the Animal Collective albums that made it although i believe it to be their best. But The Moon & Antarctica being #6 mad me forgive them.

Here is the top twenty (you can go to pitchfork for the whole 200):
20. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
19. Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
18. Late Registration - Kanye West
17. LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver
16. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
15. Silent Shout - The Knife
14. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
13. Outkast - Stankonia
12. The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
11. Ghostface Killer - Supreme Clientele
10. The Avalanches - Since I Left You
9. Panda Bear - Person Pitch
8. Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun
7. The Strokes - Is This It?
6. Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
5. Jay-Z - The Blueprint
4. Wilco - Yankee Foxtrot Hotel
3. Daft Punk - Discovery
2. Arcade Fire - Funeral
1. Radiohead - Kid A

The Moon & Antarctica at #6 had me jumping up and down

Best Ever Albums
