Pitchfork Top 50 Albums of 2017

No Anathema. :(

However, I didn't know that Sampha had released and album so I've added that to my Google Play library for future listening.

... Yet again a list dominated by pop and hip hop fluff.

No Cities In Search of a Heart

Pitchfork's picks are always so cliche

By Adam Go To Post… Yet again a list dominated by pop and hip hop fluff.

exactly

There are some pretty massive indie darlings like The National and Dirty Projectors missing as well. Not happy with Lorde and Vince Staples (the new album was weak) being in the list at all, but it's a decent one in my opinion. I do feel like most album lists are becoming too pop oriented.

big fish theory was boring

where is oladipo

For me Relatives in Descent by Protomartyr is probably AOTY. Other than that I also quite liked Grizzly Bear, The National, LCD Soundsystem, IDLES and Kendrick.

Meh, most of those albums aren't even all that. For an amazing year we had in music, its sad to see these music website be all myopic about their music recommendations. The likes of Zola Jesus, Girl Pool and even St Vincent all had a disappointing outings compared to their previous.

Good to see Laural Halo, Jay Som and Kelly Lee Owens at least on the list.

I will listen to all 50 and get back here

Jay Som is in my top 5, but it’s safe to say Pitchfork’s pool of music they’re pulling from is miles wider and leagues deeper than mine.

The War on Drugs, LCD Soundsystem, Big Thief, Jay Som, Jlin is my “off the top of my head” top 5. Loved all those albums. If I can have a 6th it’d be Kelela’s Tear Me Apart.

I generally don’t listen to too much pop or hip-hop, but Kendrick is still our lord and savior in my book. Lorde I could take or leave, I probably don’t give her enough credit.

Good list. Wouldn't put Kendrick on top but i'm certainly not mad about it.

I always use this list to find new music so Im glad it's out.

But Big Fish Theory is in no way a top 10 album. What a disappointment that was.

Edit: Flower Boy top 10 too? Eeeewww

Edit: SZA at #2 wtf

I like King Krule but damn

Hey, The War on Drugs made it. My favorite album this year.

Pitchfork got the TDE bag.

Wow the right Future album made it onto the list.
I'm SHOCKED

HNDRXX was underrated, maybe a byproduct of releasing two albums at the same time.

That Vince Staples album is rightfully getting torn apart. It's not terrible just mediocre as hell.

The second half of Big Fish is much better than the first. They feel like two separate albums. I still enjoyed the record.

Lorde, Sza, RTJ, Future and Joey Badass were all good to me. I even liked Paramore for the first time ever.

uh huh yeah, ive heard of some of these people.

Off the top of my head my top 3 would be Kelly Lee Owens, Cajsa Siik - Domino, JFDR- Brazil

We doing a top album of 2017 thread or nah?

The Big Fish Theory is a fantastic album. Jay-Z's album is like 100 spots too high.
