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?
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.
"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
Yonkers
Midnight City
Bizness
It's Real
Video Games

Marvin's Room
Vomit

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

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.

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