Ok, so 2007 had In Rainbows, Sound of Silver, and Boxer. Three of my favorite albums, but the gold goes to In Rainbows for me.

2007 also had Graduation and Back to Black.
I would vote 1: Sound of Silver, 2: Boxer, 3: Graduation

What womp said, but In Rainbows is #1 and everything else poops down one. ( allowed for hilarity)

2001: Microphones - The Glow, Pt. 2 Such utter bullshit. The day they named The Glow, Pt. 2 album of the year was the day I stopped trusting Poochfuck for anything. To me most of their picks are pretty defensible, with the exception of this one. What an awful pick. Looking back at other albums from 2001: Is This It (which you would think would be a pitchfork no brainer), White Blood Cells, Discovery, The Blueprint, Toxicity, Lateralus.... The Glow, Pt. 2? Yeesh

So do you guys hate the record or do you think it's a dumb pick? I understand if you think that it wasn't the best of the year but that album is fucking great
edit: It's not even like the website agrees with themselves anymore. The Glow pt. came in at 73 on their best albums of the decade while Is this It and Discovery were top 10 picks

I would go 1) WBC, 2) Is This It, 3) Discovery. I just didn't like the Microphones album, just like I don't like Pavement, GVB, Archers of Loaf, and all the other 90s bands they drool over.

I just looked at their 90s list again...ugh I understand differing opinions, but not even close to what I would have put.

lets just be clear, with the benefit of hindsight (which everyone in here is using), this is how albums from 2001 fared in their top 20 best albums of the 00's
12 The White Stripes – White Blood Cells [Sympathy For The Record Industry, 2001] 07 The Strokes – Is This It [RCA, 2001] 05 Jay-Z – The Blueprint [Roc-A-Fella, 2001] 03 Daft Punk – Discovery [Virgin, 2001]

I fucking hate The Glow, Pt. 2. The first three tracks are so stupid good, but then the album goes on for more than an hour after that without anything exciting happening at all.
I've put more effort into trying to 'get' that album than pretty much any other album I have ever butted heads with. I just really can't stand it.

I'm not sure there is really anything to get about the album. It's just a pretty folk album with lots of interesting sonic touches. I'd say go see him live but what he's doing these days is is completely different and he refuses to play old stuff. Then again, that's one of the coolest things about Elverum cause he just kind of follows his muse wherever he feels like and constantly switches up his sound

I really really like The Glow, Pt. 2. Headless Horseman is a great song. It's a concept album told from the perspective of fire (or something like that), which is something you would only know if you read Pitchfork.
Also, 2001, what a great year for music.

Did the Pitchfork list just come out, or does no one care? I was thinking about this earlier today, how I've correctly guessed their number one album for several years in a row, and figured it had to be Bon Iver. And it is.
I've never disagreed with a Pitchfork top 50 as much as I do this year. I've never even heard of a couple of their top 20. Chill-wave?
