I've never heard of like 90% of those artists. I feel so out of touch.
holy. hell.
how have I not listened to run the jewels before. this album is fantastic.
I missed RTJ1 last year as well, somehow.
Good lord, this site... I've never really read anything written on Pitchfork before, but I see how it got its reputation. What is with that writing style? I tried to read through the top 10, but it was like watching a person masturbate with words. It has got to be the pinnacle of indulgent and pretentious writing.
Hello and welcome to my top 50 albums of 2014 list. Thank you for joining me once again.
This year, I am pleased to announced that I have instead decided to give the award to Hall & Oates' song I Can't Go For That for the 31st year in a row. Congratulations and thanks for coming.
If I didn't hear any of these albums in the list does that mean I'm out of touch or does it mean I'm more hipster than Pitchfork?
Doesn't seem like an awful list. I guess. I dunno. Some stuff on there I like a lot, other stuff I don't. I mean music these days is so vast and basically the most subjective thing ever. Tough for me to feel much of anything about a list like this from someone else.
The main use of stuff like this is to check out artists I was previously unaware of.

I probably only heard Cloud Nothings. But Hall & Oates are better than this top 50
Yeah Album Time is pretty sweet.
Really dig Delorean Dynamite.
So they have Black Messiah 9.4, which is higher than anything else released this year iirc. Whoops.
Yeah, it's pretty terrible. Maybe they get paid by the word.Good lord, this site... I've never really read anything written on Pitchfork before, but I see how it got its reputation.

The lack of Thom Yorke's Tomorrow's Modern Boxes in appearing in anyone's list worries me. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd expect it to be mentioned somewhere by someone.

No Liars? No Big Ups? Jaws? The history of Apple pie? Alvvays? Gazelle Twins? Kate Tempest? Cymbal fucking eat Guitars? Lillies and Remains?
WTF is this shit?
A couple people in this thread have mentioned Opeth's Pale Communion and they're right. We can argue about its place in the list, whether it's number 1 or someone else 2-50. I don't care if you put it at 50, actually.
But to not even mention it is crazy.

Put me in the camp that doesn't understand the FKA Twigs worship. I guess I'm getting too old for this shit.

Anyone else really enjoy Damon Albarn's Everyday Robots? Not easy to get into on first few listens but it really grew on me.
One of the only artists I know on the list... album was a tad disappointing because a lot of the tracks were released before as singles.
Ever since Pitchfork (and indie music as a whole) started gravitating to electronic/dream pop stuff, I've been out. I've given all the major hit releases a try, and just can't get into it at all. I'll go old man yelling at the cloud mode.
From this particular list, I liked Real Estate, loved Sun Kil Moon (always love his stuff), and ADORED Spoon's newest album. Damn, Spoon keeps getting better and better. That album went neck and neck with Ryan Adams for me all year, but I ended up slightly preferring the latter.
Todd Terje is terrible. Just awful. I tried listening to it a few times on Spotify, only to realize that I was wasting precious minutes of my life. I'll keep listening to his stuff in hotel elevators when I'm a captive audience.
