That's because, apart from Fast 'n' bulbous maybe, there isn't one.
And Scaruffi has good taste mostly, but can't write a good review. Plus, he seems to have a bias against pop music in general, and if a band is overrated to him, he will not give up any chance to tell you this. It's really annoying to see The Beatles' name in virtually a quarter of the pages on his website. Used in a negative sense, no less. I mean, I'm not even the Beatles' biggest fan, but still it annoys me.

That's just one editor that wanted to be hip. It certainly doesn't represent the site as a whole.

Pitchfork has made lists for individual years, decades, etc..But they've never made one for overall.
So, how about we fill this categories in, with what we think Pitchfork would do.
Best Album of The 60's
Best Song of the 70's
Best Song of the 80's
Best Album Ever
Best Song Ever
I would assume/ guess
60's Album - Velvet Underground & Nico
70's song - Stairway To Heaven (this one was a bit tricky...not sure)
80's song - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Best album - Daydream Nation
Best song - Gold Soundz
You? 
(yes, I know, 'who cares?' and stuff, but this could be fun) |
I really doubt that they'd pick Stairway... it's just too typical. I think "Heroes" is a much more likely choice. Hopefully they'll make some of these charts in the future, Pitchfork's lists are always great fun.

never thought i'd "meet" another who was a fan of that site. i use it for reference as he has some extreme taste in music. i often try out a couple albums he lists in years' "best of"s. however, his increasing metal fixation has become a little off-putting for me.

I've looked at his Best Albums (after 1965 or whatever it was) list and it was absolutely genius.

Fast 'n' Bulbous is always a good read. I still don't forgive him for missing Supreme Clientele off of his Top 13 Hip-Hop albums of the 2000's though. Heresy.
