The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s

Have you seen this list? I can’t stop sifting through it, reading the odd blurb. Obviously there is plenty on this list of 500 that I haven’t heard, let alone own, but I’ve grown so accustomed to thinking of bands and their music in terms of entire albums that I’m suddenly finding it really enjoyable just to find songs on this list that I didn’t know anyone liked besides me. Moreover, there are songs included on here that I find to be guilty pleasures. This is a refreshing, viscerally honest list compiled by the ultra-snobs at Pitchfork.

Never mind the somewhat arbitrary order they come in. I don’t think that’s the point. At least to me anyway.
