The Top albums of the Last 15 years
http://www.pitchfork.com/news/47538-...&utm_name=news
Voting for The People's List, the poll of our readers' favorite albums since Pitchfork began (1996-2011), closes tonight at midnight. If you still want to be part of the list, head right here to choose your top records. The overall results will be announced next week.
To help you get into that list-making mindset, we asked our staff for links to their personal ballots. Find those below, along with links to staff members' personal Twitter and Tumblr pages.
Voting has now closed. Thank you for your participation.
Check for the results on Pitchfork between August 22-24.

Let me guess, 1 through 5 will be Radiohead? The hard on that website has for that band is absurd.

It's a readers poll. You can view the staff ballots separately. Sorry, it is too late to vote. It would have been fun to share our lists.

I think you mean the hard on virtually every rock website/critic has for that band.

Personally, I think the list is ok... not sure why everyone gets so mad over a reader's choice poll?? Websites like NME and pitchfork attract people with a specific style of music. For the type of music pitchfork promotes, what albums are noticeably absent??

The lack of Sam Roberts, Coldplay (ducks) and Oasis hurts my brain.

A group along the same vein as Nickelback but Coldplay's X&Y is pretty damn good.

^^^ Rush of Blood to the Head is one of the best albums ever much less the last 15 years.

I have 4 and 5 in my collection. They're good, but not awesome albums IMO.
I can't comment on the rest. I like the "popular" Radiohead songs, but have never listened to one of their albums from start to finish. Same with Arcade Fire. As for 7-10 on that list, I honestly can't say that I could name a song from any of them (although they could be good for all I know).

Solid list from my viewpoint. Oasis would be pretty high on my list as well, but not as high as Radiohead.
However, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Strokes, Animal Collective, Elliot Smith, Fleet Foxes, Beck, Sigur Rós, and a few other names on the constitute the majority of my playlists from the last 15 years. So I very much approve of this list.
I wouldn't consider myself a hipster, but I took most of my musical cues from my brother, who would most definetly be considered a hipster. So I can see why others say this list only appeals to a certain demographic.

I thought Oasis too, but I checked and (What's the Story) Morning Glory was 17 years ago, Definitely Maybe was 18 years ago...holy smokes I'm getting old.

Yeah they just missed the cut with Morning Glory, but they have made some very albums since. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants and their newest Dig Out Your Soul were both very good. At least good enough for consideration to the top 200

Yeah that's what I sort of figured. Which is also why The Bends is not on there I'd imagine.
