They're bringing it out as a book. This is the list of the songs that they write about in it.

Kanye West? I've heard gurgling sewers with greater sonic merits.

The fork loves him though. Chi-town boy and all.

You know the way they have promotions for this stuff on forkcast, well, you can't use that streamer widget outside the US of Going Bust. So here's the list, from elsewhere. I think it's in order, don't really matter. Makes a good mix tape (apart from the youtube stuff, just coz they're not mp3s).

Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1603381_o3uuw/01-sonic_youth-teen_age_riot.mp3

[quasiquasi]

Lots of filler, but as lists of 500 songs from an arbitrary 24-year period go it's better than most. Kiss Me Again is there, so I'm happy.

 

[robitusson]

best AC/DC song, highway to hell? please, not even close.

Live wire. .|..|

This is the thing that really pisses me off most about Pitchfork... Their tendency to rant and rave about "ironic" artists like Justin Timberlake, Kanye West etc, but pretending that they're not being ironic because they are actually "awesome", thus achieving total hipster irony. Ugh.

but but ... the production on the albums are amazing!

 

[Lili Marlene]

why do you think they're being ironic?

Is it not possible to like Girls Aloud unironically in this hipster paradox of yours?

It's possible. But I also doubt that Justin Timberlake really released the best song of 2007.

Kanye is from Chicago, just like the fork. Bigging up local talent is what they're doing.

I bet they don't really like Wilco or Tortoise either.

I'm sure they do like Kanye and JT.

Naming JT's "My Love" as song of the year is just a tad overboard though.

"All My Friends" ?

 

[Alan Remorse]

2006. My bad.

 

[Lili Marlene]

2006. My bad.

oh right, sorry, I shoulda checked.

Anyway, I don't like that song so it's hard to say but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be their number 1. What's your number 1 song of 2006 and why is it better than theirs?
