200 best albums of the last 25 years

[lackingmatchpractice]

The top 5 is basically just Radiohead albums

 

[AC Mack]

Good to see The National and Arcade Fire quite prominent.

 

[DieselBert]

Loved the bit at the bottom where they broke down the top 10's per gender and top5's per country. Portishead "Third" top album in Ukraine is random ( unless only 3 people from Ukraine voted and they all love Portishead

Also why have they changed the cover of the strokes- is this it?

Cover in US. The one over here is a little to risque for them

It's the American censored version.
Guessing the website is American?

Prefer the UK version

Prefer the UK version

Because it's much better. Yanks man

 

[Shambo]

Can't even show nips while holding your assault rifle over there, the massive wailing fannies

 

[Mickdundee]

I'd have Deserters Songs - Mercury Rev, Bring It On - Gomez and In Ear Park - Department Of Eagles in there.
Surprised Odelay didn't make it?

Odelay is at 109

Good luck with finding 20 never mind 200

 

[Drifter]

You can filter by your age etc, as well as being non-US based to see where you fit in to the Pitchfork demographic. Interesting list if very Radiohead centric. Some PJ Harvey lower down and some other good stuff. Metal is underrepresented though again that will be down to the readership.

How many good albums have been released in the last 25 years? In your opinion

Like I said in my post I would struggle to count 20 and probably wouldn’t include any more than 10 of the list that the op alludes to
I don’t see the output of the last 25 years as being in the same stratosphere as the previous 25
Nothing greatly wrong with the more recent stuff but it doesn’t blow my mind in the same way that the previous 50 years did - and in that I include a lot of music made before I was born

That's entirely due to your own age though. Everyone prefers the music they grew up with. It's why most of this forum is trapped in the early 90s.

These lists are always hilarious

It’s objective so it’s pointless, but this list is meant to be a wind up Shirley?

 

[PJH]

Didn't see Kings of Convenience on that list. I'd put their first two albums way ahead of the albums I know and like from that list.

I think you mean subjective. Objective is exactly what it isn't.

 

[Chatty83]

No King Gizzar and the Lizard Wizards. Failure of a list.

With respect that’s not the case - Dark Side of the Moon, Ziggy Stardust, Revolver, Pet Sounds to name 4 random albums - all before my time and all four absolutely piss on anything made in the past 25 years
And that’s coming from someone who is neither a Floyd or a Beach Boys fan

I’ve tried my best to embrace newer music but very little stands out for me and I don’t see much in the original list that will be regarded as game changing classics in 25 years time
