"Pitchfork top 100 albums of the half decade"


  

          

http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9465-the-top-100-albums-of-2010-2014/1/

Their 'end of' lists are always a good read since they can't rely on their default snark mode and have to actually justify their choices. The gems are the albums that made it (woah @ Big Boi's Chico Dusty making the cut.


Top 10 below: seems the #1 has fared kinder elsewhere then here.


10: Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel
9: Sun Kill Moon - Benji
8: YEEZUS
7: Tame Impala - Lonerism
6: Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
5: Beach House - Teen Dream
4: Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
3: Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
2: Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid,
1: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
