koganbotMy Pitchfork Vertebrates' List, Top Albums 1996–2011*
Saw Will Adams' email about his posting his Pitchfork list at the last second, was inspired to check on how last that second really was, began typing at 10:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time (deadline was midnight, some indeterminate time zone), and they cut me off at 10:15, when I'd gotten to exactly twenty but right before Aly & AJ Insomniatic, Arling & Cameron All-In, Marit Larsen Under The Surface, and Miranda Lambert Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Also missing was whatever I hadn't gotten around to exhuming from 1996 through 1998 (Bring It On soundtrack? [EDIT: Which was like 2000, actually]), plus whatever else I'd forgotten.
The order is somewhat accidental.
Funky Town was released January 3, 2012, now that I check.
*They're calling it "The People's List," but since that title is pretentious and juvenile, I came up with one that was just as juvenile but more novel; was originally going to call it "The Bipeds' List" but decided to show some backbone.

Date: 2012-08-24 04:52 pm (UTC)Think that five albs on my list came to me by way of promos: the Montgomery Gentry, the t.A.T.u., Global Hits 2000, the Ying Yang Twins, the Fannypack. The t.A.T.u. and Fannypack I'd have searched for anyway, and maybe Ying Yangs. The Montgomery Gentry was out of nowhere, since I wasn't listening to country (this was the alb that got me going!) and had never heard their name. A couple of other crucial performers who were unknown to me arrived via promos, me inserting them into the CD player with no expectations: Miranda Lambert Kerosene, The White Stripes White Blood Cells.
