[kj] Pitchfork's 500 Most Important Songs since 1977

[Leigh Newton]

Oh, of COURSE Patti Smith is on there. 

I'm not sure who decided that she is one of the top 10 best things to ever happen to music but fuck, she's boring.

 I hope they have Haircut 100 in there and Heaven 17!  
 
Oh no, they have Patti Smith on the list too, Alex.  Is steam coming out of your ears? ;))))))

Case in point:

This gets a mention:

Daryl Hall & John Oates – "I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)"

But Killing Joke does not?

I rest my case. It's meaningless.

... but who are Pitchfork ? Just some persons' opinions ... I see they have a couple of songs by The Fall ... they didn't want to offend John Peel there ... honestly these sort of lists are all very well but history gets distorted over time ... had the list been compiled in 1983, it is likely that Requiem and Pssyche would have featured, like they did in the JP Festive 50's ... any list that suggests a song from ABC deserves to be a in list of the most important 500 songs from the past 30 years need to be viewed with suspicion or contempt ... it gives someone a job I guess ...
