Pitchford has a list of the best albums of the past fifteen years. I can't quibble too much with the top choice, Radiohead's OK Computer. Other top picks are mostly on target, like #3 Arcade Fire's Funeral, #5 The Strokes' Is This It, #7 Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and #13 Bon Iver's For Emma. I would have rated #24 The National's Boxer much higher (might be #1 or 2) as well as Alligator and High Violet. But with Broken Social Scene, Modest Mouse, Spoon, Feist, Beirut, Belle and Sebastian, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart represented, it's actually a list I can get behind.
What was left out? There are always some favorites. I think U2's All You Can't Leave Behind belongs on there, for one. Maybe Amy Winehouse. Other personal favorites are debatable. But a good list overall.
