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:
1. Drake - "Hold On We're Going Home" (#1, 2013)

Really looking forward to this mainly because of discovering new music. Good Intentions Paving Co. 
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.  I'd give a 10 to almost all of the ones that I already recognize.
