I think I posted in here already. But I just wanted to say kudos to Pitchfork for making this list. But I have some issues with it.

The first half of the list, the lower-down part, I recognized a lot of songs I hadn't heard in a while. So that made me smile. But the closer I got to the top half of the list, the fewer songs I'd heard.

Question: why is LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip featured so prominently, particularly in the top half? I've barely even heard of the former, and what I've heard of the latter has left me completely unimpressed. The lads at pitchfork obviously have a yen for synth pop. And I'm not sure that Daft Punk even got a couple songs. Weird. And another thing: there's one track that's a mash-up of a Strokes song with Christina Arugala's "Genie In A Bottle" (one of the most cringe-inducing attempts at a pop song) that's ranked like #148 or something. The mind boggles.

At the end of it all though, I'm left thinking if this is the best of the singles of this decade, what a shit decade this has been.
