Pitchfork dropped their top 200 songs of the half-decade list today

Gonna spend the next week going through and listening to everything I don't already know, to see if I missed any hidden gems.

They are dropping their album list sometime this week too, so that should help me find more hidden gems

On a side note, WTF is their obsession with that fukking Grimes song? Its a great song, but the last minute of it is annoying as fukk with that amateur stab sound run through a pitch slider. Sounds like someone bought their first yamaha keyboard and is just discovering all the stock sounds and features. I have no problem with having it on the list, but at #1 :rudy:

Midnight City is the song of the half-decade....period. Argue with me about it, I dare ya :smugbiden:
