What's your favorite 5 or 10 songs 2000-2009 not included in Pitchfork's p4k thing?

For many this should be really easy, especially if you don't agree with Pitchfork at all..

10 songs or less please

Q: is there a way to do a search on the list other than having to go through it?

i'm trying to figure that out now..

1. Shiina Ringo - "Ringo Catalogue"
2. Yuri Misumi - "The Wonderful Star's Walk Is Wonderful" / Katamari Damacy
3. Ute Lemper / Scott Walker - "Scope J"
4. Zazen Boys - "Riff Man"
5. Goran Bregović - "Tale 3 - Lento arabesco"
6. Goodiepal - "Hitachi"
7. Bob Drake - "You STILL Can't Outwit That Thing"
8. Grouper - "Black Out"
9. Fovea Hex - "While You're Away"
10. Xper.Xr - "Doing Time (Love The Pants But What's That Smell)"

Full list in a Google doc (couldn't figure out how to copy it here):

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhmYEfpTMqPvdDhDY09tVWxNNVptQkFaX09KWnpZUXc&hl=en

I'm sure there will be a text version of the list very soon..

And bonus points for artists who were left out entirely..

xpost JESUS CHRIST WHAT AM I THINKING

10. Marissa Marchant - "Emu"

Yo La Tengo - "The Story of Yo La Tango"

Gonna probably change my mind as soon as I start remembering other stuff, but this is OK for now I guess.

1. Alexis Strum - Nothing Good About This Goodbye
2. The Knife - Heartbeats (OneMusic Session)
3. Sugababes - Ace Reject
4. The Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha
5. Momus - Frilly Military
6. Britney Spears - I'm A Slave 4 U
7. Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous
8. The Legends - He Knows The Sun
9. Goldfrapp - Utopia
10. Ladytron - Playgirl

Ying Yang Twins "Wait"
Yo Majesty "Club Action"
Ne-Yo "Because Of You"
Wayne Wonder "No Letting Go"
Silversun Pickups "Lazy Eye"
Pinback "From Nothing To Nowhere"
Tahiti 80 "A Thousand Times"
Secret Machines "Lightning Blue Eyes"
Nada Surf "Blankest Year"
Burning Brides "Arctic Snow"

If I wasn't making an effort to not repeat artists, I would have opted to include MGMT "Kids," And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead "Mistakes And Regrets," PJ Harvey "This Is Love" and Of Montreal "The Party's Crashing Us."

New Pornographers "My Slow Descent Into Alcoholism" (replacing "The Laws Have Changed" if need be)
Mountain Goats "Palmcorder Yajna" (replacing "No Children" if need be)
Magnetic Fields "Threeway"
Invisible Cities "Bumper Cars"
Afroman "Because I Got High"

Here's a text list (with checkboxes!) by the way:

http://blog.masslive.com/linkfarm/2009/08/the_pitchfork_500_coolometer.html

Radiohead-"Where I End and You Begin"
Tom Waits "Alice"
Tom Waits "Hoist That Flag"
The Sleepy Jackson "Good Dancers"
Spiritualized "Do It All Over Again"
Amy Winehouse "Back to Black"
Britney Spears "I'm A Slave 4 U"
New Order "Crystal"
Kylie Minogue-"The One"
Moloko "Statues"

Heh. "Hoist That Rag," not "Hoist That Flag." I'm tired.

I am 18.40% cool.
My 5 or 10 songs not included would be my 5 or 10 favorite, period.

You should post them!

ok
Avalanches - Etoh
Bebel Gilberto - Samba da Bencao
Blink - So Long Without You
Blue State - Heroes' Elegy
Edan - #1 Hit Record
Four Tet - Parks
Ghostface - The Grain
Hope Sandoval - On the Low
J Dilla - Won't Do

"Only Skin" - Joanna Newsom
"The Drowning of St. Christopher" - Piano Magic
"Heatstroke" - Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia
"Silently" - Blonde Redhead
"Little Argument With Myself" - Low

really surprised that "promiscuous" & "wait" didn't make it

"Because I Got High" is one of the 500 Greatest Songs Of The Decade so easily

the first time i heard that on the radio they played it twice

i have it on green vinyl

I was gonna clean my room until I saw a 650 post thread on suggest bans
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I saw a 650 post thread on suggest bans
My room is still messed up and I know why (why man)

Afroman's East Palmdale was the first, and only, place where I saw a teen carry a concealed gun into a department store. Ah yeaaah.

Milton Parker, great choices. "Lullaby (By-by-by)" from that Ute Lemper album would definitely be up there for me!

This is just gonna be my top 10 songs of the decade and I'm still weighing that one up tbh

A more interesting question would be my top 10 FROM that list. Here goes:

1) Battles - Atlas
2) Of Montreal - The Past Is A Grotesque Animal
3) Wilco - Handshake Drugs
4) The Twilight Sad - Cold Days From The Birdhouse
5) Wilco - Poor Places
6) Mclusky - To Hell With Good Intentions
7) Radiohead - Pyramid Song
8) M.O.P. - Ante Up
9) Pulp - Sunrise
10) The Beta Band - To You Alone

and one for luck

11) Jesu - Silver

None of these are choices I'd otherwise even consider. But they're good songs. N.B. I'm not so well-versed in chart R'n'B/hip-hop as I ought to be, so this is very much a personal list, not a definitive statement of quality

glad you cleared that up

When you're ready to come down from the mountaintop bearing the tablets of stone which reveal your REAL 10 best songs of the decade, you be sure to let us know.

I'll poll them and post the results to this thread :)

Ulrich Schnauss - On My Own
Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers (Sunship Remix)
Seelenluft - Manila
Secret Machines - The Road Leads Where It's Led
Joy Zipper - Christmas Song
De La Soul - Held Down

No 'Get Low', no credibility.

Electrik Red - Friend Lover
All Saints - Black Coffee
Pinback - Soaked

Wow. I just scrolled that list--apparently Country Music didn't exist at all this decade. Unless it was Produced by Rick Rubin or Jack White. Not even a token Miranda Lambert track made it.

Pitchfork doesn't review country music. I'm not surprised that no country music made its list.

Pretty big editorial blindspot.

The Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash selections should count, but I know what you mean..

Metal was not represented all that well either.

It does, sometimes. But the number of writers who are actually into it is pretty small, I'm guessing, thus ensuring that a country song would never make a collective list like this.

"Gunpowder and Lead" is #90 on the 2007 list, but that's as close as i've ever seen

I guess you can't expect them to cover every genre. It's just weird that nearly every other publication--including stodgy-ass Rolling Stone, seems a lot more broad-minded than pitchfork about stuff outside their comfort zone. Maybe some of the P&J voters who listed Jamey Johnson or Lee Ann Womack only listened to those albums because people were raving about them and otherwise have superficial knowledge of Country, but at least they aren't as closed-off as it seems P4kers are.

x-post Johnny Cash and Loretta certainly count as Country, but if the only two R&B singles on a Best of the 00s list were by, say, Ray Charles & Al Green, it would be weird to say the least.

7. Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous

this is the single strangest omission imo.

juan maclean - happy house

Family Affair - Mary J Blige
One Beat/Oh! - Sleater-Kinney
Off You - The Breeders
Meantime - The Futureheads
Eighties Fan - Camera Obscura
Mercury - Throwing Muses

I keep feeling like I've forgotten everything that I loved this decade. A lot of what I do remember is turning out to be woefully out of step w/ Pitchfork.

King Geedorah - Anti-Matter (feat. Mr. Fantastic)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTjPmgN98H8

6. Iron & Wine - Upward over the mountain

Moka, I think this is the Iron & Wine song that did make the list. Around maybe No. 350?

Update: It was No. 300.

I thought "Kids" was a surprising omission.

(so you can ctrl+f the shit)

Not cool that "Galvanized" by the Chems didn't make it. That shit's in my top 20, and there wasn't even any room for it in their top 500?

Yeah, that tune is definitely one of the best club anthems of the decade.

JT - Sexyback

This isn't in the top 500?! Really? Madness!

johnny cash - hurt
dbt - outfit
bjork - who is it
scarface/geto boys - G code (can't believe this got left off)
devin the dude - doobie ashtray (why does pitchfork hate fun)

luda - area codes
dizzee - dream/learn
t.i. - live your life

This isn't in the top 500?! Really? Madness!

Yeah, there was room for crap like Wolf Eyes and Black Dice and High Places, but Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and The Chemical Brothers/Q-Tip don't pass muster? Corny indie fuX0rism kills credibility once again.

how dare they vote for songs they like

I guess the real question is whether or not the list was intended to be one that sort of encapsulates the decade itself or one that celebrates contributors' personal whims. I like probably 80% of what's here, but some of the omissions we've picked out so far seem particularly egregious.

The actual voting process kinda limits the relationship between intention and result.

i think the list is more lacking in Black Dice than JT tbh, neither of their best tracks are in it either

Built to Spill - Conventional Wisdom
Drive-By Truckers - Women Without Whiskey
50 Foot Wave - Dog Days
That LCD Soundsystem song about how europe has magazines was much better than All My Friends or whatever
Taylor Swift - Forever & Always (just as awesome as Since U Been, imo)

I still think it's a pretty terrific list. I've done enough of these polls for other titles to appreciate how glaring omissions can come about from things like vote-splitting (the Chems) and the occasional desire to avoid the obvious choice (Hurt), and lots of not-necessarily-guaranteed inclusions - Johnny Boy, Ladytron, Primal Scream - made me smile. Most of the songs I haven't heard are by the kind of US indie band I've spent the past decade diligently avoiding (I still don't know the difference between Wolf Eyes and Wolf Parade) but that's Pitchfork's bread-and-butter I suppose.

Hang on, did they really leave out Tweet's Oops (Oh My)? I take it all back. Fuck 'em.

kindof a very big difference between wolf eyes and wolf parade and wolf eyes are awesome tho

OK, I'll check them out. I'm sure they are v different but without a few unjustified prejudices I'd end up trying to listen to everything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMssiOp9bbA

Thanks. I think I can go back to ignoring them now, but not at all for the reasons I expected. I'm guessing this wasn't their "hit".

Dead hills was one of their big albums actually, it was on sub pop iirc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctwzA55tm98

have some ears, dead hills should actually be number one on p-dork

it was on Troubleman Unlimited

Think I was thinking of Burned Mind

dead hills 2 is what I play curious ppl because it gets the most positive resonse ime

Mekons - Thee Olde Trip To Jerusalem
Delays - Valentine
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Devin the Dude - Briar Patch
Petey Pablo - Get on Dis Motorcycle
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter - Reckless Burning
Scarface - In Between Us
Bonnie Prince Billy and Matt Sweeney - My Home is the Sea
Electrelane - The Valleys
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Sun Lips
Working For a Nuclear Free City - Rocket

gotta say the only glaring omissions are crunk ("Get Low"/"Wait (The Whisper Song)" and Afroman. ignoring the rankings, it's a pretty good, comprehensive list of songs

Afroman is not a glaring omission.

I'm pretty sure he was supposed to be on the original list

but then, you know.

I think my first outrageously obnoxious ILM thread/post was about how no one could honestly like Wolf Eyes. Deep down they knew they were listening to bad music.

I get all the Wolf bands confused. I know Wolf Parade are the ones with the video where the guy has four heads stacked, one-on-top-of-the-other, on the guy's shoulders. Also, they're the band where I get a 1,000 "WTF is wrong with you?" responses when I say I don't see the big deal about them.

clotpoll you like the valleys = you are a friend of mine.

kindof impossible not to love The Valleys, but it was the first Electrelane song I ever heard and its impossible for them to come close, Bells is pretty good imo.

It kills me that I have never seen wolf eyes live

Wolf Parade is the band with 2 amazingly brilliant albums. Wolf Eyes is the one that makes interesting noise. Guitar Wolf is good. There might have been another decent wolf band, but I'm pretty sure the rest are all boring.

lol is this where I mention Ulver

t,everytime i've seen Wolf Eyes the show is overrun with noise bros who punch people and slam dance like idiots. also, they are fucking assholes. 'slicer' and 'dead hills' are still the best things they've ever done, imo.

my list:
- NNCK- Back to the Omind (I'd Rather Not Go)
- Old Time Relijun- Cold Water
- Luciano- Octogonal
- Rhythm & Sound- Poor People Must Work (or pretty much any of the R&S stuff)
- Ellen Allien & Apparat- Way Out
- Moodyman- The Thief that Stole My Sad Days (Ya Blessin Me) <--- (single came out in 99, reissued in 2000 and released on full-length that year, so it counts imo)
- the Mountain Goats- Against Pollution
- the Juan Maclean- Give Me Every Little Thing (Cajmere Remix)
- Kate Bush- A Coral Room (IF AERIAL DOESN'T MAKE THE TOP TEN ALBUMS THEN PITCHFORK CAN GO DIE FOR REALS)
- Julien Jabre- Swimming Places (Ingrosso Remix)

and a few more

- Faze Action- In the Trees (Carl Craig Remix)
- Lil Jon feat. Sean Paul etc- Snap Yo Fingers
- Nomadico- Tazumal
- Underground Resistance- Inspiration *or* Transition
- Undeground Resistance- Millenium to Millenium
- Ricardo Villalobos- Miami

i could go on and on..

"Snap Yo Fingers" is a car-dancing classic.

it also has an amazingly seizure inducing video that i love to death

YES!

the hip-hop station here still plays it a lot, probably more than any other Lil Jon except "Yeah"

Ludacris 'Saturday (Oooh Oooh)'
Los Campesinos! 'We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives'
Maxwell 'Pretty Wings'
Jackie Chain ft. Jhi Ali 'Rollin'
Ghostface 'Apollo Kids'
Young Jeezy 'My President'
Aimee Mann 'Little Bombs'
Bloc Party 'Little Thoughts'
Baby Cham 'Recession'
The Hold Steady 'Stevie Nix'

^^good ones here - esp "saturday" & "rollin"

also, no erykah badu seems odd. i assume she'll make the album list with ease though.

kinda hard to say definitively what the best thing Wolf Eyes have every done is tbh
