A Very Pitchforkian Rate - Finished!
Let me start with a fact: Pitchfork Media >>>>>>> your basic music taste.
OK, I mean, sometimes, they get things wrong, they overrate and underrate a lot of stuff, but, to be honest, they deliver a lot of the true tea, more true tea than, sometimes, others can even handle.
At the end of the year, just like many other publications, they make (among other lists) a list that features, what, in their opinion, were the best 100 songs of the year. Here, we are going to rate the top 20-ies of every list, from 2010 to last year.
That would be, 4 years, and 80 songs.
THE FULL LIST:

Really looking forward to this mainly because of discovering new music. Good Intentions Paving Co. ![worship](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/971600d3.gif)
However no point acting as if they're much better than mainstream music. Both have their highs and lows.

There are too many amazing songs for me to do this fairly. ![deadbanana](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana2_zpsd45da7d4.gif) I'd give a 10 to almost all of the ones that I already recognize.
