Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

Great to see Peaking Lights, Wild Flag, and Julianna Barwick getting some recognition.

Think anything has a chance of beating Midnight City for number 1?

For some reason I think Pitchfork's going to have something off of the Bon Iver album at number 1. Like "Calgary" or "Holocene". Or maybe "Yonkers" by Tyler the Creator.

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

"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.

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

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?

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

I think they'll give a nod to either Lotus Flower or Codex but only one of those two.

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

Pitchfork Top 20 prediction-

Midnight City- M83
Calgary- Bon Iver
Holocene- Bon Iver
Vomit- Girls
Yonkers- Tyler the Creator
Helplessness Blues- Fleet Foxes
Video Games- Lana Del Rey
Kaputt- Destroyer
Lotus Flower- Radiohead
The Wilhelm Scream- James Blake
Otis- Jay-Z and Kanye West
Niggas in Paris- Jay-Z and Kanye West
How Deep is Your Love?- The Rapture
It's Real- Real Estate
California- EMA

...and the other 5 are a total mystery to me.

I think Beyonce's "1+1" may make it in the top 20 or 30.

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

"Countdown's" landed in, what, three year-end top 10 lists now? Nice.

Well deserved. "Countdown" is really a great song by Beyoncé. One of my favorites from "4."

Re: Pitchfork (USA) Songs EOY 2011

2 Adele songs and no Radiohead. That kinda surprises me for a Pitchfork list.
