This Pitchfork list is so in-your-face mediocre, uninspiring that I promptly abandonned investigation of all other lists, plans to post my own. 2012 was a decent year in music but you wouldn't know it after listening into this rat's nest of dreck. Brian, you mentioned that they often compile a list of songs that kinda sound great but aren't really well written or composed songs. With a few exceptions, these don't even sound great. Know it's past Christmas now but: Bah humbug.
