Seriously, what's the point?
Seriously, what's the point?
#1 - Cupcakke - Euphorize
Because its becoming too dificult to name good albums for the past 15 years. Lists like this lead to shit like Kayne and Kendrick Lamar to cross over. White people have resorted to pretending to like music they do not understand to cover thier hipster asses. We are in the fall of a civilization afterall. Nothing post 1998 is good. When A new kids on the block copy cat band became popular I knew it was over and it has been. Pseudo blues like White Stripes, Old fart bands like chili peppers and metallica putting out medicoure shit. Gagrage rock. Hip Hop all same shit. You see how every movie is a reboot? They started with music in 2000's Its the end of the cultrue. People will study this stuff. If a band like MGMT is getting praise you know things are fucked.
no. 1 will be itaots
post ur top 5s
1. pj harvey - is this desire?
2. mark hollis s/t
3. belle and sebastian - the boy w/ the arab strap
4. mansun - six
5. beck - mutations
1998 was bomb just an excuse for p4k to circlejerk. Although it's surprising since most of the good albums from that year are white people music.
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Mezzanine
Music Has the Right to Children
Aquemini
XO
The Shape of Punk to Come
Moon Safari
TNT
American Water
Deserter's Songs
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Nr 1 will be Outkast or Lauryn Hill for obvious reasons.
I'd like to see p4k redo their old 80s and 70s lists just for the hilariousness of them scrabbling with revisionism history to jam in as many blacks and women as possible.
Look at this year. We're 1 and a half months in and the only BNM they've given is Cupkake. I mean really think about it. Music is at it's lowest point in history right now.
In all fairness, I haven't seen these lists but the 70s and 80s had a shitload of great female and black acts, so I'd be surprised if there wasn't a pretty high number in there already.
to revise history and get initial nostalgia clicks. lists like this are important.
These were made in the early 2000s when identity politics didn't even exist in the mainstream.

Fucking better be.
I already have the best albums of 1998, I bought them in 1998.
Mostly mentioned above. Others:
Gomez - Bring it on
Fatboy Slim - You've come a long way, baby
Completely agree with this. Mark Fischer discusses it in his book "Ghosts Of My Life".
This but without irony.
>Nothing post 1998 is good
cough cough... bollocks... cough cough
>98
Hey Mark Hollis and ITAOTS came out that year. Some of my favorites,
>mansun - six

Implying pitchfork is any authority lmfao
1. Massive Attack - Mezzanine
2. Anathema - Alternative 4
3. Pulp - This Is Hardcore
4. AIR - Moon Safari
5. The Divine Comedy - Fin de siècle
ahh '98

I miss being 5
1998 was a great year.
End Hits
Terraform
Challenge For A Civilized Society
They better put Electro shock blues
nostalgia click money. 1998 was 20 years ago
This is Hardcore is weak. Both Pulp albums before and after it are infintely better. Surely 1998 isn't that barren.
>beck - mutations
Good choice.
And the opportunity to blackwash history. I will literally eat my nuts if Lauryn Hill isn't top 3 and Outkast nr 1
>White people have resorted to pretending to like music they do not understand to cover thier hipster asses
>Hip Hop all same shit
hahaha what a retarded!
I think ITAOTS is too sacred to not be #1 even by current Pitchfork standards.
itaots is 3.5/5
not number one record from 1998
>pussy money weed *NIGGGGGGGA* every song
This
The Gen Z college kids were born around that time so it's a special year for them. 97-2002 era we're gonna see that sort of thing, that "90s kid" shit again.
Except it's a 10/10
