Since we all love to debate the merits of music lists, I present The Pitchfork 500 [View All]

It's actually a book that Pitchfork (which is a great site, even though I definitely don't always agree with them on certain artists/albums/whatever) put out recently, with a couple paragraphs on why they chose each song. I don't agree with all over their choices, but I think it's a pretty kickass list overall.

And if you look around the internets, you can probably find a collection of all the songs to obtain for your listening pleasure. ;)

So, music nerds of the lounge, lets have a flamewar over why this list is or isn't bullshit!
