Man, this is such a better list than the last one. Mainly because Death Grips didn't get snubbed for Carly Ray Fucking Jepsen

Cool, you thought the same thing. I saw that and was pretty mad, but as I scrolled down the list the anger grew I made to 45 before my blood boiled and I almost died of a heart attack.

As another poster already pointed out but I think it needs to be restated: How does pitchfork not realize that DG is a trio? This isn't the first time they've posted about them as a duo. It's frustrating and just poor journalism. Like it's fucking mind boggling how they totally do not realize there is a 3rd guy in the band. Yeah Andy was gone for a bit and he was not part of a pitchfork interview but jeez, not good excuses. To me Death Grips is such a perfect trio with every member being quintessential to the sound but I think Flatty is the unsung hero. God, his synth sounds, samples and production skills just blow me away; such an ear for dissonance and noise sculpting. I am always amazed by how subtle he can be too. Just such an accomplished sound to me, his walls of noise are just so detailed. Plus idk why, but to me the part in System Blower where MC Ride steps out and there's that section with the thick, shrill synth that wobbles just sounds like Andy is releasing some sort of fucking cyber dragon to me lol.

I agree 100%, he's my favorite member. While the drumming and vocals are great the production is definitely my favorite part about DG (I guess that's why I like Gov. plates more than most). I really hope he does more stuff, unlike Zach and Stephan he just seemed to pop out of nowhere with little previous material.

For me it's a tie between Andy and Ride, no offense to Hill :P Yeah definitely; I wasn't too upset that they broke up but I will be very upset if Ride and Flatlander don't continue to make music...And Ride's old stuff is cool but very unpolished and before he took on the Ride alter-ego (or whatever you want to call it, I know some people don't like to refer to it as that), I want to hear Stefan make something new with the mad skills he's shown since DG began.

oohh danny brown made the list too

It's a great fucking album, and it's tight that it is being remembered as one. While they could of course be higher up, this group never had a track get airplay
2
So many nostalgia-tinged albums at the top of the list. I wish their was more appreciation for music that's actually new.
2
isn't indie rock based on nostalgia? and isn't pitchfork based on indie rock? they want that shit, that fucking reverb on everything, that shitty real estate, sunny, we're happy at the beach, fuck that shit

I don't know, Mac Demarco gets me every fucking time still.

Word dude just got into him.

Watch the Pepperoni Playboy documentary on him. It's only 30 minutes long. Shit had me laughing out loud.

I still like the bands that aren't too pretentious about it, but the ones who intentionally try to replicate every nuance of the decade their sound came from get on my nerves.

Girls was cool though
2
yeah there's always those who may only be into it for fashion or popularity reasons. those bands that just do what the Strokes have been doing (reviving old rock). Passing it off as a shitty version of the Velvet Underground
1
I still like the Strokes, though.

It deserves to be in at least the top 20 but, more like in the top 10.

Nah, all those spots belong to that wonderful synth pop band that always changes its name.
Wait, they're all different bands?

How does PF not know that there are three people in the band?
Seriously, they need to do some fucking research.
When they did an interview with them it was just Zach and MC ride.
