Pitchfork’s Top 20 Albums of the Decade

I am a sucker for lists. Pitchfork recently released a list of what they felt were the top 2o0 albums of the decade. Here is their top 20.

01. Radiohead – Kid A
02. Arcade Fire – Funeral
03. Daft Punk – Discovery
04. Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
05. Jay-Z – The Blueprint
06. Modest Mouse – The Moon & Antarctica
07. The Strokes – Is This It
08. Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun
09. Panda Bear – Person Pitch
10. The Avalanches – Since I Left You
11. Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele
12. The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
13. OutKast – Stankonia
14. Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavillion
15. The Knife – Silent Shout
16. Sufjan Stevens – Illinois
17. LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver
18. Kanye West – Late Registration
19. Spoon – Kill the Moonlight
20. Interpol – Turn on the Bright Lights

In some ways, I do hate lists like this, especially one as broad as an entire decade of music. But I am happy to say I own a good portion of these albums. Though, I certainly disagree with a few of these. I think I am going to put together my own version of the the top 20.
