Top 10 Songs of the 2000s (according to Pitchfork)

that's not the worse list in the world… i disagree with much of it, but it's defensible.  uh, i hate not hating pitchfork. 

i like most of those songs, and i wouldnt presuppose anyone to make a perfect list except me

people that overhate on pitchfork have somehow become more annoying than pitchfork. its full circle hipster haterade

wow.wow.wow.

i actually think this is pretty spot on.

b.o.b has always been my fav outkast song and i don't think it is possible to get sick of it, but seriously, this is amazingly awesome to me. i'm pretty much in shock about it being no. 1.

how can it be that shocking if it was #1 on pitchfork's mid-decade list?

because they are the fairly fickle people…i imagined it would still be in the top 5 at least, but not still 1 again.

The only two that I have a hard time with in the top ten are "Maps" and "My Girls."  The rest seem pretty defensible to me.

i dunno. maps is a good song

Maps is indeed a good song…pfork picked the singles I guess.

If I had to choose a YYYs song, it would be "Black Tongue" …

I didn't understand Crazy In Love. Or My Girls.

And any top 10 list without Chocolate Rain discredits itself.

Or that killer "Smell Yo Dick" song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruef7aYCEbc

Purple Bottle and Winter's Love are leagues better than My Girls.

Winter's Love is my favorite AC track, as I think we've discussed before.

I also didn't understand how Such Great Heights was so low on the list. I thought that'd be a top 20 track for certain.

I'm surprised Bros isn't in the top 20.

There is no serious list if "…Baby One More Time" is not on it.

No "Sk8er Boi"?  No "Since You Been Gone?"

Pfft.  You guys missed the 2000's….they were a lot of fun!

Since You Been Gone was there, kind of high too, wasn't it?
Was Toxic on there? It wasn't high and I always thought that was agreed-upon Best Britney Jam
God I hate LCD SS. Losing My Edge is in the top 20? Jesus Christ.
BOB is a good song but the best song of the last 10 years? Nah. I figured they'd go for some kind of reprazent track like Hey Ya.
Get Ur Freak On could've even been higher.
Crazy In Love is a great song, I have no problem with where it ended up.
Maps placing so high was surprising. I have really no other thoughts other than that.
There really is no song they could've put at #1 that wouldn't have sparked outrage.
Here are some leaves out I found outside somewhere

some songs that I was really happy to see in the top 20:

The Walkmen: "The Rat"  – I played the hell out of this song 5 years ago.  Actually got sick of it for a while.

Radiohead: "Idioteque" – I listened to this about once a day in college when it was on pretty much every mix CD I made.

MIA: "Paper Planes" – yes please.

LCD Soundsystem:  "All My Friends" – what a great fucking song.  Deserves every accolade.  Franz Ferdinand couldn't pull it off, but some rock band will do a great cover of it one day.

John Cale did a cover on the same single as Franz Ferdinand. I really really like Cale's version, but then again Cale is one of my favorite artists.

You mean "The Clash - Straight to Hell?"

Didn't Baby One More Time come out in the late 90's?
