Pitchfork 500

It's not until MTV blossoms that the Pitchfork 500 book becomes interesting. Punk, disco, rap just isn't them. Pitchfork's a website that specializes in finding the new music. And no amount of collaboration on a book is going to help the early entries. The Thelma Houston entry is a prime example and is an embarrassment and why they included a sidebar on Yacht Rock makes no sense. Oh, and they got the year wrong for "Don't Fear The Reaper". It was 1976, not 1978 which makes the whole entry on it irrelevant. Sticking to Indie Rock and it's a good read. Get 'em out their comfort zone and let the squirming begin.
