I honestly don't know what Pitchfork are trying to achieve with that list. They've gone for the most obscure choices. 4 of the top 5 I would call experimental pop and not even rock. And how can an album with under a 1000 listens between Spotify and YouTube, that they haven't even reviewed as far as I can see, make it in at number 6.

It's actually been a very solid year for rock music but only one if those, Mannequin P#ssy make it into my top 30. Quite high up tbf.

They've always been contrarian elitists - The Friko album is the best thing on that 'rock' list, and the actual best rock album of the year (Dulling the Horns by Wild Pink) isn't anywhere near it

I've never heard of number 6 until now, but if they are anything like Life Without Buildings then I'll be happy
