The Pitchfork 500
''The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present'' is a book compiling the greatest songs from 1977 to 2006, published in 2008 by Pitchfork Media. The book focuses on specific genres including indie rock, hip-hop, electronic, pop, metal, and experimental underground. The book is broken down into 9 chronological periods, each period beginning with a description of the music scene before the featured artists, and how those artists changed the music scene.〔() 〕 ''Time'' described the book as having "42 critics to cover 30 years of music, from 1977 punk to 2006 crunk, and all the starry-eyed, acoustic acts in between."〔Claire Suddath, ("The Skimmer: ''The Pitchfork 500''" ), ''TIME'', November 26, 2008.〕
==Critical reception==
The book received attention and criticism from mainstream and alternative media. ''TIME'' commented that the book's record reviews "have been pleasantly stripped of their supercilious phrases" and that "its tributes to popular songs are exquisite" but concluded, "the project comes off like a personal message that High Fidelity's Rob Gordon might obsessively attach to a mix-tape."〔 The ''Washington City Paper'' called it ''Pitchforks "boomer-like shot at print-based respectability, a coffee-table book..."〔Matthew Siblo, ("Rank Bullshit: Pitchfork's list to end all lists should, in fact, end all lists." ) ''Washington City Paper'', December 18, 2009.〕 ''Under the Radar'' gave the book a 7/10 rating, noting that Pitchfork "has emerged as arguably the preeminent music criticism source of its time while fashioning itself into a multimedia powerhouse".〔Evan Rytlewski, ("Reviews" ), ''Under the Radar'', November 1, 2008.〕
On the other hand, the ''Houston Press'' criticized the book for what it saw as its unwarranted disregard for Latin, country, funk, soul, and classic rock, opining that ''Pitchforks "school of criticism has always relied more on trendy perceptions than actual musical merit and song structure."〔John Nova Lomax, ("Get Lit: The Pitchfork 500" ), ''Houston Press'', November 12, 2008.〕 And ''Time Out Chicago'' called the book "a slow, meandering walk through the arbitrary tastes of the site’s editors and authors" and "a wasted opportunity".〔Jonathan Messinger, ("Books: ''The Pitchfork 500''" ), ''Time Out Chicago'', November 17, 2008.〕
