A Pitchfork, um dos veículos de música mais respeitados desde que foi fundado lá em 1996 há longos 22 anos, publicou mais uma das suas listas.
Dessa vez os caras escolheram aqueles que consideram os 200 melhores discos dos Anos 80, refazendo um trabalho que já tinham publicado em 2002.
Lá atrás eles fizeram um post com os 100 melhores discos da década e hoje, ao revelarem essa nova edição, explicaram as enormes diferenças de cada uma dizendo que a lista original “representa uma linha editorial limitada da qual nos afastamos. Sua falta de diversidade tanto na seleção dos álbuns quando nas contribuições dos críticos não representa mais a voz que a Pitchfork se tornou.”
Pois bem, você pode ver a lista logo abaixo e ler as explicações todas por aqui.
