This is the only movie I've sat through the credits just to listen to the music again.

10. Weezer - "Say It Ain't So"
9. Beck - "Loser"
8. Aaliyah - "Are You That Somebody?"
7. Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland 1945"
6. MBV - "Only Shallow"
5. Wu-Tang Clan - "Protect Ya Neck"
4. Radiohead - "Paranoid Android"
3. Dre and Snoop - "Nuthin But a G Thang"
2. Pulp - "Common People"
1. Pavement - "Gold Soundz"

Neutral Milk Hotel aside, that's a wicked solid top 10. Good job, p4k. Shania not cracking the top 200 is a fucking crime, though. She had the best selling album of the whole goddamn decade!

Shania Twain is so fucking awful, Byron. You deserve to suck off Big Green for even mentioning her.

Anyway, I like "Holland 1945," but everyone knows the best Neutral Milk Hotel song is "Naomi."

I'm sure we could all do this for days, but I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of "Ordinary World" and "Sleeping Satellite". Those two songs define an early part of my childhood. Also surprised they used My Name Is by Eminem, that's not even the best song on the album in my view. If you want more of the same ridiculousness, it's done better on other tracks like Just Don't Give a Fuck, and if you want the more serious and introspective, there's really good tracks of that as well.

Overall it's a pretty exhaustive list though. I won't judge!

"Come Undone" is the hottest Duran Duran jam of the 90s, in my humble opinion. Still, I can't resist "Ordinary World."

wrong.

The most pleasant surprise was Aaliyah cracking the top 10. I figured that song would be on the list, but I thought for sure they'd stick it somewhere in the 100s. Also as I was reading the top 20 this morning I kept going "where the fuck is Pulp, you guys??" and then when I saw they were all the way up at #2 I smiled and pumped my fist a little. Worst exclusion besides Shania (f the haters) is Mariah Carey. Surely "Fantasy" deserves to be on a list like this.

I bet Kreese is raging over the fact that, once again, Meat Loaf was excluded from a pitchfork list.

I grew up smack dab in the 90's (only a year younger than Inc, I believe) and I don't fucking recognize half of these songs

To be fair, I probably wouldn't recognize any of the songs on your hypothetical "MOST FACEMELTING POWER METAL JAMS OF THE 90S" list.

My pointless guess at the half Slayer does recognise.

Which is a shame because you need a good facemelting at this point

Your straw list doesn't work anyway since you're limiting to one genre (a pretty insular one at that) and the aforementioned list is fairly across-the-board. I'm aware I'm a bit outside the Pitchfork target audience, but I also know more than you'll ever give me credit for as this big dumb metalhead that you visualize me as

3/5

Swap Pulp and Alliyah for Wu-Tang (I was pretty big on rap up until around when 2Pac went down and Puff Daddy became big) and Beck (which was all over the radio when I was a freshman)

Slayer is fromthe KRS-One/Rakim/Public era. He's more or less like a middle aged black man when it comes to rap music.

If you've seen the Eddie Murphy Dr. Doolittle movie you've heard the Aaliyah song.

I listened to see if it was one of those "know the song but don't know the title" cases, but I have no recollection of that song at all

Do I get any street cred for this?

LOL@ Byron consoling himself over Inc's sonning of his musical tastes by bashing everyone else's. What a weiner.

I'm glad "Regret" made the top 40, as I wouldn't have been surprised to see it overlooked altogether, but Alfie's Favorite Band Weezer in the top 10? Blow me.

Has Bob Barron ever commented on Slayer's refusal to end sentences with any kind of punctuation

I was so broken up over Incandenza saying Shania Twain sucks that I went into a blind rage and made fun of Slayer for not knowing who Pavement is. Yes. That's exactly what happened.
