http://www.listsofbests.com/list/58257 2000 was an exceptionally good year for music, possibly the best since I first started Pitchfork in 1995. Typically, we end the year with a list of the 10 best records, but this year, even narrowing it down to 20 didn't come easily. There were tons of great bands we wanted to mention-- there just wasn't room. We compiled this list using the same system we've always used, which involves getting a list of each writer's 20 favorite albums of the year, and, based on a geekish points system, totaling up the final list. Here's what we came up with. --Ryan Schreiber Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:44:20 GMT en-us 0 50 20 0 0 http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/39678 <div id="position">1</div><div class="item-image"
