Actually...

Rock de Lux had it at No. 2 on its 1990-1998 list. And The Movement had it at No. 68 for its 90s list. Just a couple of exceptions. :)

Re: What Do...

JR
you mean, especially the 90s list? What other lists are there?

Hopefully Slant will do an 80s list at some point in the future, too- may as well work its way backward to the 50s.


Wholly Crap! it was supposed to be: Especially the albums list! But other years would be nice, too.

Re: Slant Magazine: Best Singles of the '90s

didn't these guys do a 00s list? is it included on this site?

Slant Did...

do a 2000s list- it has not yet been included, as there has not been a songs update in a while. It's on the agenda for this year- there are decade-end lists and a number of all-time lists/features (and some pretty lengthy) that have yet to be added to the site.

The Albums List...

is coming. In about a week and a half or so. :)

Finally! I was gettin worried, but i must say: i hope i see more of the Slant i've grown to know than what it was shown inside the singles list. It was a great list, but when it comes to Slant you could've expected more from female artists like Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Ani DiFranco, Liz Phair and female lead bands like Hole, Sleater-Kinney and Elastica, but they were completely gone and forgotten. It looked more like something other critics could have come up with than a Slant list. Hopefully the albums list will be better since the number of artists placing records inside of it are much more.

Slant Is...

giving hints about which acts and albums are on the list, via Facebook, in the days leading up to the start of the list. Portishead was the first to be teased.

With the love Slant has for Madonna's Erotica, I expect it to appear- and probably Ray of Light.

Am sure we'll see Lauryn Hill, Radiohead, R.E.M., Nirvana, etc.- probably PJ Harvey, Bjork, etc.

Re: Slant Is...

It's not perfect (what is?) but I like it more than Pitchfork's list. Would have liked to see some Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and Guided by Voices.

Album list better have tons of Blur!
