Best Album of the Last 30 Years

Best Album of the Last 30 Years

All right, here we go. We're gonna do it. We are gonna do it.

You guys might have recently noticed that Pitchfork surprisingly has embraced the album bracket aesthetic. And in celebration of turning 30, have put out this bracket of albums.

It looks like a bunch of records — I mean, Daft Punk got a pretty negative review back in the day — but like a bunch of like Album of the Year albums that they've had over the years. I'm also going to be doing polls so that you guys can sort of like help decide which album is moving forward in which section of the bracket.

I think I'm going to mostly let it be sort of like democratic. If things are super in the middle, I'll be the tiebreaker. And I will — and chat, please remind me of this — you can count them as we go along, I will reserve for myself 3 veto spots. Okay. I only get 3. I can use them anywhere except for maybe the last one.

If you guys wanna really decide the last one, you can. I will advocate for the records that I feel strongest about, and you guys are free to hash it out in chat over which one you wanna go with and which one you support and prefer in each head-to-head.

What do you think?
