The fact they even put Oval - 94 Diskont on there AT ALL is weird to me.

Pitchfork tends to be less Mainstream than other publications, they were basically "the Indie Rock" site for a while. That's why you got Richard D James Album and Souvlaki on there.

yeah they've only been highly successful for 30+ years, sold millions of albums and sold out shows all over the country consistently. but not worthy of any such list.

at least put "A Live One" and "AEnima" on there.

Let me guess: two nirvana in top 20 and one in top 5

Checks:

Just 1, but its top-10.

Also the glaring lack of metal is sad. "My bloody valentine" best album of the 90s? Ahaha

It's not my favorite, but Loveless is a fantastic album entirely worth that ranking

I feel like this guy went through a lot of effort to tell everybody his favorite album was a My Bloody Valentine album nobody ever heard of.

The obligatory Lauryn Hill at #2 sealed the deal.

What? Loveless is not some "album nobody ever heard of"

Saying that is basically an admission you don't know anything about music

What a joke list.

aside from thinking that people shouldn't ever take a list seriously...a huge genre being basically entirely left out is kind of a valid gripe to have with a list like this in my opinion. not really sure why you have this attitude.

Leaving metal out to the extent they did is a valid complaint

Acting as if fucking LOVELESS is some nothing album no one cares about is fucking hilarious

hmm i thought that user was saying something a little different, but i might be wrong. but yeah no one caring about loveless, or anything mbv related, is a ridiculous statement.

22 is a respectable spot in an "overall" list for the decade imo.

All you have to do is see that they put complete garbage like Bratmobile on the list & know that they're full of shit. You could pick any terrible garage band in existence & find better music.

Imagine getting upset at a Pitchfork list in 2022. For 20 years Pitchfork's model has been all about creating buzz for itself through very controversial and snobbish reviews and lists.

Nope, I dated a girl in high school who was really into that stuff. They could have at least put in something halfway listenable from that era instead. I'd have no problem if it had been Huggy Bear's Taking the Rough With the Smooch.

85. Godspeed You! Black Emperor: F A (1997)

I was really shocked to see that considering this is an all time list, and generally that means known/mainstream... not personal all-time. Also loved seeing two Aphex Twin albums and Bjrk in there... but no Korn, Tool, Marilyn Manson or Metallica???
