Pitchfork Media is known for giving props to most hipster bands of the day, but with their top 100 list I think they’ve gone too far.
Check out the entire list here, for a good laugh. Lists are always retarded, but I’ve never seen one worse than this. There are TWO Cut Copy songs in the top 20. It also makes you wonder, what does being listed as number 74 really mean?
The top 20 alone is enough to dismiss the whole list, check it out:
20 The Juan MacLean - “Happy House”
19 Vivian Girls - “Where Do You Run To”
18 Women - “Black Rice”
17 Wiley - “Wearing My Rolex”
16 The Mae Shi - “Run to Your Grave”
15 Amadou and Mariam - “Sabali”
14 Lil Wayne - “A Milli”
