Top 200 (plus 420) Tracks of the 1990s (Pitchfork)

gold soundz

"This week we're going to be counting down our list of the top 200 tracks of the 1990s. We've done a few of these decade lists on Pitchfork. Last year around this time, we ran down our 500 favorite tracks of the 2000s as part of larger project looking at the decade in a series we called P2K. In years past we've done lists of albums from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and songs from the 60s. But P2K aside, it's been a while since we reached back to look at the music of a decade. The time feels right for listening to and talking about the 90s."

That's how Pitchfork boys presented their latest list, built around their favourite top 200 tracks of the 1990s. You can find it, divided in five chapters, with detailed infos, comments and YouTube links, here: 200-151, 150-101, 100-51, 50-21, 20-1.

This time, Pitchfork has been even kinder than before, adding two or three alternative songs each track (under the voice: "see also"). So the 200-songs has actually become a kind of a 620-songs list. I adapted myself and I made two different playlists: one based on the top 200 list and one based on the complete 620 list (plus a smaller one with my 69 preferences). You can find the links on the bottom of the post.

Almost each song is in the version chosen by Pitchfork. Just few exceptions in hip hop, remixes, Belle & Sebastian (I found only the live version of If You're Feeling Sinister album) and Pearl Jam (my dictatorial choice: Yellow Ledbetter must be a live version!).

Enjoy and hail to the 90s. :o)
