Pitchfork Top 200 Albums of 1996-2001 was released in October of 2021. It's old.... I know. Still, a representation of the people......... because that's who voted. pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/peoples-list-25th-anniversary/Here's my Top 10: (in order of what was listed first) 11. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel (9.5/10) 17. Norman Fucking Rockwell - Lana Del Rey (10/10) 35. The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips (10/10) 47. Untrue - Burial (9.5/10) 62. Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves (9.5/10) 68. Folklore - Taylor Swift (9.5/10) 70. Mezzanine - Massive Attack (9.5/10) 86. Voodoo - D'Angelo (9/10) 108. 69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields (9.5/10) 146. Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem (9/10) So basically I don't agree with anything Pitchfork says outside of 1998-2000 and 2018-2020..... those years in between omg. Outside of my one nod assigned to Untrue, all my choices are situated in those years. pacinoyes - Curious as hell as to your choices.  |

Just missed for today: Arctic Monkeys 1st album and Radiohead OK ComputerI never pegged you for a National fan. My ex was a HUGE fan. They were her #1 BY FAR. Maybe that's why we broke up. I only just LIKE them.... no matter how much times I listen to them. 405 listens.... something is missing when you try this hard to please your ex. They're pretty music. I'll give them that: |

This is so hard to narrow down, and I'm mad that my favorite albums by Arctic Monkeys (Favourite Worst Nightmare) and Elliott Smith (From a Basement on the Hill) are not on the list. Making a top 15 just so both artists get a spot. Also limiting one album per artist.
01. Kid A - Radiohead
02. DAMN. - Kendrick Lamar
03. Visions - Grimes
04. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
05. Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
06. The Age of Adz - Sufjan Stevens
07. Demon Days - Gorillaz
08. Pinkerton - Weezer
09. IGOR - Tyler, the Creator
10. The Woods - Sleater-Kinney
11. The Money Store - Death Grips
12. Magdalene - FKA twigs
13. either/or - Elliott Smith
14. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys
15. Sea Change - Beck

Is Weezer like Smashing Pumpkins or is my mind just totally off base here? Because Pumpkins are really teen nostalgic, and jw here. I don't mean to sound ignorant but I've just never listened to them before and whenever they played on MTV in 1997 it didn't grab me but I was kinda young. 4 people have put it in their Top 10. I'm on another music board. Weezer isn't among the worshipped there, tho not that nobody listens to them. Hmhhh interesting how this board differs from that one. |

Well I would say most people would describe Weezer as a singles band - more a better Green Day than tey are like Smashing Pumpkins - in general and either like - or dislike - those individual songs as they come up in a long career........ but to me that band made 2 great albums - the first 2 - and album wise never came close to matching them.........and Pinkerton - their 2nd - is a very great, almost hard to classify album: An "emo" record but much tougher (and sicker) than that term suggests.........a Pop "concept" record - about being overwhelmed by sex, self-loathing, impulse control, and misreading your OWN feelings and the feelings of others through sex (again) - to me Pinkerton not only destroys their own work - it destroys much of the artifice of Pop music in that era too.......it's extremely deceptive and uncomfortablt Pop music - that changes by how you invest into it.........sometimes you will be listening to it and depending how closely you are listening to the words - you'll say..."Wait......This is a REALLY fncked up record made by a fncked up guy - what did he just say?"  ............a near perfect record imo...... and people who love that record love it to a ridiculous extent too...... |

I have only heard about 40 of them, but these are probably my 10.
68. Taylor Swift; folklore
2. Radiohead; OK Computer
46. Amy Winehouse; Back to Black
123. PJ Harvey; Let England Shake
186. Bob Dylan; Time Out of Mind
8. The Strokes; Is This It
104. JAY-Z; The Blueprint
105. Taylor Swift; 1989
134. Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Fever to Tell
183. Haim; Women in Music Pt. III
I cannot believe that's the only HAIM album they have on there. I think it's easily the least good one.

Wouldn't really compare them to Smashing Pumpkins, the Pumpkins are way heavier. Weezer had more of a melodic 70's power pop feel a lot of the time with some extra fuzz and feedback because it was the 90's. Their second album Pinkerton which Pac talked about pretty regularly shows up on greatest albums of all time lists and especially lists of the greatest 90's alternative albums. The songs are great and the lyrics are very honest and uncomfortable dealing with male loneliness, sexual frustration, being rejected by women, exc. That's the only of their albums I'm a huge fan of, they have some scattered good singles outside of that. |

pacinoyes raised a good point about Pinkerton changing depending on how you invest in it. It can feel very different on different listens like a lot of great movies are on rewatches but you don't see that as much with music. Sometimes it's really sad, sometimes it's cringe comedy, sometimes you gag and want to take a shower or slap Cuomo in the face. Depends on the mood you're in and on what level you're listening to the lyrics.

Not surprised by Kid A. You brainwashed your followers with your obsession over that album, Pitchfork.
I tried 10, but I can't. These are the albums I played over and over again when they came out (except for Amy and Lana, I was late). I'm looking for something new like that.
The Strokes - Is This It
Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Bjork - Homogenic
The White Stripes - Elephant
Beck - Sea Change
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Portishead - Third
Outkast - Aquemini
Radiohead - OK Computer
Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
D'Angelo - Voodoo
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
SZA - Ctrl
Kanye West - College Dropout
Lana del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell

So you do talk about other things besides just football, ibbi. I legit don't remember any other post you've made besides football. Good nod on the 1989 mention. I listened to it last night, and I might slot it into my Top 10 too. Might replace Mathers as the best mainstream (or mainstream sounding) album since 2000. It's the best updated version of the 4 Tay albums that have been updated. New Romantics and Now That We Don't Talk are probably better than all the original tracks besides 3. |
