"Someone Like You" on Pitchfork's list? Interesting.
They had an interview with Coldplay this year. I am thinking they are becoming less hated of acts that are popular that aren't rap or radiohead so they can reach a broader audience.
surprised to see New Beat and I'll Take Care Of U quite low. I think the top 10 will contain:
Yonkers
Midnight City
Bizness
It's Real
Video Games
a Bon Iver song (Holocene, probably)
Marvin's Room
Vomit
Ni**as in Paris or Otis
maybe 212 by Azealia Banks as well

This will probably be pretty accurate; I'd add "Helplessness Blues" to the list of contenders. I wonder how they'll rank Radiohead this year?
