this was also my biggest issue with the best indie rock ever list
This Pitchfork list of the "Best Indie Rock Ever" is like a centrist Dem's idea of progressive politics.
No Pixies
No Husker Du
No Fugazi
No Dischord records at all!
No Drive Like Jehu
No Slint
And Pavement at Number 1? Barf. (They chose the wrong Les Savy Fav record at 99.)

None of these albums needed to be included other than Spiderland, which is genius. But the genre itself just seems no longer vital, so who cares?

Mostly fine, but some "this isn't even their best album" and massive younger millennial bias. Criminal to exclude Replacements, Nada Surf, and Sunny Day Real Estate. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

it's very clear this list was designed to be a different list than every other best indie rock list you've ever seen and with that in mind you know that you can expect it to be wrong but it's still nice that some albums are getting more love than they normally do

Literally. No shade ppl claiming it was good… i question their taste. Some heavy hitters but so much missed. The indie label is way too broad too. They should have just done a 2010s list tbh

they should stop ranking these things, and just arrange them in no order — Magnolia Electric Co. at 25? Under Arcade Fire and Wilco???
