7 months agoYou should really post how this was evaluated. Only albums from the last 30 years and votes come from pitchfork Instagram stories polls. After knowing that I’m not surprised at all. This is all just clickbait for Pitchfork. A better discussion would be the albums they started with and if they should even be here.


Marketing manipulation. We have been conditioned to precieve value in some things over others. It eleminates the idea that you as an individual have to engage and investigate to find your own value of a piece of art. I’m not saying that the popular pieces of an artist aren’t incredibly good. Just understand that an artist probably has dozens of other work you might want to engage with and appreciate.
I’ve seen this soon many times at art museums. Sure Starry night and Mona Lisa are great but the artists’ other masterpieces are literally 10 steps away and people seem to casually ignore. The power of the totebag fridge magnets.
