Thom Yorke kicking himself for not calling it Kid S
HAHAHAHAHA
god this is extremely funny
💀
Thank God he didn't call it Kid F
preach brother
Anthony has really changed since the Pitchfork review. It was sad watching him balled up in the fetal position, crying & apologizing to Pitchfork here
Lol. Lots of ppl on YT not aware that the Pitchfork review was not real and was a joke 🥴
These jokes are so lame
@@thath09 it’s not a fucking joke to me, I’m not gonna let pitchfork publish slander about my close personal friend althony rightano
Nothing has ever been the same since "the incident"
He’s a changed man now. He’s in a new era of his career.
It's really hard to pick an album of the year for 2007. In Rainbows, Sound of Silver, Untrue, Strawberry Jam, Person Pitch, and For Emma Forever Ago are all classics.
For Emma was 2007? Holy crap I'm old
I would also add Lust Lust Lust by The Raveonettes, which came out in 2007.
@@BrofUJu self released in 2007 and then Jajaguwar re-released it officially in 2008 on a much larger scale.
glad people are repping Burial. dubstep was done dirty
Is oracular spectacular not a contender?
Songs for the deaf is by far the album from 2002 that has held up the best. The production on that album is just on another level, let alone how catchy the songs still are 20 years later
Love Songs for the Deaf, love Turn on the Bright Lights, but this year was so stacked with great rock records: You Forgot It In People, In Absentia, ( ), Lil Beethoven
I only just learnt it's the same producer/engineer as the prime Good Charlotte albums, if you go back and listen the production is unnecessarily good.
I personally think Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is the best from that year that album is just so beautiful.
Yeah but yankee hotel foxtrot is just too good. One of the best albums of all time, despite what fantano might believe
Geogaddi is AOTY worthy
Praising Radiohead albums like Kid A has become so typical that its basic in music communities to the point that underrating Kid A because liking it is basic, is basic
it happens... that jonathan ross interview with jonny and thom, you can see how uncomfortable thom is with the fact that ross is overpraising kid a.
Basic
I call it The Dark Side of the Moon-effect
So if you praise it you're basic if you don't praise it you're still basic?
@@anabell7184 it deserves all the praise, one of the best albums of all time

Can’t argue with any of these!
Good list! You had me until Grizzly Bear. Veckatamist has some great tracks, but it's also pretty front loaded, with a few weaker tracks towards the end that drag it down for me.
Idk who else would go there, tho. Bat For Lashes, Girls, or Antlers are up there for me, but I might just stick with Animal Collective.
Edit - I'd also sub out NP for Ween's Quebec. Freaking love that album to death.

For 2001, apart from The Microphones, Opeth's Blackwater Park should have been mentioned, it blew every one away, not just in the metal world but all genres of music.
Meh, there were better metal albums that came out that year like Jane Doe, Lateralus, Toxicity, and Iowa
your taste inmusic is superb, sir
I commend you
>toxicty
>iowa
Better than BWP
Lol
Lmao even
@@tylersquanto8938 All of those albums have absolutely nothing on Blackwater Park
It's Pitchfork in the 2000s, they're never going to acknowledge that a prog metal album even exists, never mind it being better than their AOTY. The sole exception is if it's a Mastodon album.
I think fleet Foxes deserved at least A, just because helplessness blues is better doesn't make it less of a great debut. Comparing it to a later album that didn't exist yet is a bit weird in the context of the video imo.
Felt like he rated them all in present context, like the Funeral tier. Talked a lot about how various albums aged well/poorly
@@davidmattox1308 Yes but in the case of Fleet Foxes he just talked about how he likes their other album more, not that it necessarily aged poorly. I don't think comparison to other works from the artist should be part of the tier list criteria.
@@davidmattox1308 I feel like the only one whose still love Funeral. Fantastic album.
Listening to Illinois was always such an experience. After so many years, it's a nostalgic experience. It's like getting to relive the memories of a summer vacation you had as a kid, every emotional high and low. There's really nothing quite like it.
Illinois is such an amazing album
Definitely brilliant yep
Just heard it for the first time today. Beautiful Album
Vespertine by Björk was the album of the year in 2001, maybe even the album of the decade.
unfortunately Pitchfork gave Vespertine a score of 7.2 😒
It's an easy 10 BUT DAFT PUNK DISCOVERY
Oh this a fantastic way to continue this style of video! Love love love these tier list videos so much. Here’s to many many more! Thanks for all the content Anthony + Editors!
Agreed
Love the feist pfp
MPP is such an unbelievable record but I feel like I can't enjoy it without being accused of being a complete poser so thanks Anthony for making me feel validated
Just tell them what your favorite AC albums are in order 😆 People talking shit probably don't even know.
I actually like the more classic, maybe even archaic sort of take on folk that the self-titled Fleet Foxes album had, as compared to Helplessness Blues. That's not to say I like it better, but it's a tough call. And I love them both for very different reasons. Plus, it seems a little unfair to look into the future and judge an AotY on that grounds. lol
you should do a tier list for the best albums per year from RYM, tonytano.
Burial’s Untrue is one of the greatest albums ever, not just of 2007
W, very underrated
Yes
@@imaginetrying4732 Definitely not underrated. It's getting much praise and it's well deserved.
Can’t wait for Fantano to rank Pitchfork’s AOTY’s of the 90s
Shoo
Same. 1890’s music is so underrated.
@@lopezfan24 Jay Z js a rapper from the 1890s btw
Bro I see you in every music ig comment section lmao
How would that work? They deleted whatever 90s lists they made from their archives. I think that they only ever published a small list in 1999.
2005 had Sleater-Kinney, The Woods, and Bloc Party, Silent Alarm as well, but SS is solid
Silent Alarm might be my favorite album of the entire decade, but I still would give AOTY to Illinoise, it's just musical perfection and groundbreaking in every possible way.
But yeah, Bloc Party is fucking amazing, Matt Tong on drums fuckin BROUGHT IT on their first two albums.
AOTY 2002 is undoubtably Geogaddi by Boards of Canada for me
that was pitchfork's #8 album for that year
turn on the bright lights at b tier is an issue we need to discuss anthony
I think the thing you gotta understand about Kid A was that it was the closing of the coffin lid on the Boy Band/Rap-Rock-Korn era. Thats why old guys love it so much. It shut that whole chapter
Really wish you did the last few years of the 90s as those were also epic years for Pitchfork
00 Kid A - Radiohead
01 Lateralus - Tool
02 Songs Fort The Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
03 The War in Errorism - Nofx (yes, really)
04 Miss Machine - Dillinger Escape Plan
05 Demon Days - Gorillaz
06 Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
07 Fear of a blank Planet - Porcupine Tree
08 Third - Portishead
09 Crack the Skye - Mastodon
MPP and Silent Shout both sound really really good. Ditto FF.

Great picks
That Arctic Monkeys album fuckin slapped... that and Brand New's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me for 2006
Hip Hop was Food and Liquor by Lupe Fiasco... one of the best debut albums in hip hop history... Lupe is a fucking alien on the mic
Good takes except for neon bible
The rapture were amazing, crazy energy, them and the Walkmen were both super energetic driven albums, genre defying!
That's what I'm saying. I used to love both of those albums
I always felt like the rapture was a bit of a ripoff of public image ltd. Felt the same about Interpol and gang of four. 🤷
Neighborhood #1 alone makes Funeral deserve an A Tier atleast
Wake Up, Rebellion, Neighborhood 4 are all absolutely fantastic
@@brycedavis9458 Even Neighbourhood 2 and 3, every cut on there is fantastic
I think it's easy to hate on Arcade Fire because of their poor run of recent albums but tbh they single handedly made indie mainstream for 2004-2012 or so. I prefer The Suburbs but if there's one album that defines nostalgia for me in the 2000's it's funeral
@@ChristofEightyEight arcade fires great, they always got the critical appraise and have a good fan base, but single handedly? That’s a bit much, there were a lot of great bands pushing indie to the forefront, in fact I would say arcade fire was the laughing stock of indie back then unless you got it, mainstream music loving people didn’t care for them and would borderline tease you if you liked them, now that changed since then but during the time I saw it
MPP was the one for me. It came out during my junior year of high school. It’s the one that opened my eyes to all the amazing current music I was missing out on. It truly changed my brain chemistry.
I’m surprised that Deathconsciousness by Have A Nice Life didn’t get a mention for 2008, it’s one of the greatest albums of all time imo and stands out from all the other sounds at the time
I'm with ya there, great album
+++
i like that album a lot but i also feel like it didn't age well
@hugjass6585 what about it didn't age well to you im genuinely curious because i think it holds up as an all time great
@@hugjass6585it aged very well lmfao most blackgaze copies it
Fantano dunking on Person Pitch, finally another opinion I can put excessive and copious amounts of energy into hating!
Dude I just checked this out, wtf is the production on this album? Just sounds absolutely awful.
Funeral is almost solely responsible for the decade long trend of whoa-oh indie rock choruses.
nah Kid A was responsible
nah Kid B was responsible
@@jorgekech ... huh?
@@vegamode8706 Kid A was the most important album of 2000s ..
@@jorgekech Right, I just don't think it had any influence at all on the whoa-oh indie rock chorus trend. Radiohead never used that. I agree with the original comment which is that Arcade Fire started that trend. Particularly with "Wake Up"
My personal fave of 2001 is Tool's Lateralus, but the Microphones album is a close second. I also really liked Behind The Music from that same year, my personal favorite Soundtrack of Our Lives record.
Solid choice. Blackwater Park for me!
@@joeyb4766Damn, I forgot that also came out in '01. What a good year for music.
Illinoise = 10! Would love to see a Sufjan worst to best, Anthony.
Although I do prefer suburbs that feeling of listening to the overwhelming opening of funerals is unbeatable
@@kvothe9933 I also love their live energy at this time - with some members literally putting on helmets during songs like "Laika" to play percussion on everything on-stage, including each others' said helmets

I’d be curious to see your thoughts on all the albums that Pitchfork gave a perfect 10 upon release. Some choices are pretty interesting like Source Tags & Codes.
The fear that Ryan Dombal instilled in bands was very real. The AA Gill of college critics
How is there no mention for Vespertine or Discovery in 2001?? I really like The Glow, pt 2 but idk how it could possibly be an S tier when those two albums absolutely sweep it
He has a huge The Glow bias (I get it tbh), watch his classics review. Tbh he probably saw the name and stopped thinking about other albums from that year
i don't think the point of this video was to name every great album that came out that year. i think if he agrees that an album was aoty, there's no where to put it besides S.
'absolutely sweep it' is an exaggeration, c'mon
Glow Pt.2 is better than everything björk put out.
@@SwitchbIadeNo
Even though I'm a fan of 90% of the albums you pointed out from 2007 I still think person pitch is the best that year and actually the best animal collective album. Guess it's just the dub and sunshine pop fan in me.
Hearing him grill it like that was killing me inside lol
that person pitch opinion is criminal
Wow man, I haven't thought of The Microphones in a looooong time. That was a fantastic album kind of in the same territory as The Books - The Lemon of Pink. Meanwhile, I just listened to that Rapture album literally yesterday. I agree I don't like it as much as I did as a twacked out teenager but liked it much in the same vain as Chk Chk Chk, Cut Copy, and all the other dancy bands at the time. Interpol over QotSA Songs for the Deaf is ridiculous. Enough on that. I would give Strawberry Jam AOTY long before Person Pitch. I like Panda, but I never understood the insanely high reviews back then. Fleet Foxes debut, I never stop listening to it. I never get tired of their albums or performances. And Merriweather is a no-brainer. Let the normies into the Animal Collective universe. Pretty good takes from the Meloness.
15:43 - You made me jump and nearly made me throw my breakfast across the room, thinking there was an impostor in the house. Kudos to you, sir.
Bluish still puts me on a beach in a dream
Persons Pitch hate is nuts
Agree better 2007 albums but its still a masterpiece imo
It's not a bad album but it is utterly ridiculous to put it as AOTY when it's not even the best album by Panda Bear THAT YEAR lol, and it's not close. To me, Strawberry Jam is one of the best albums of the century so far, while Person Pitch is maybe top 10 that year.
@@llucsimon418 agreed strawberry jam is obviously the better album, but persons pitch is probably by 3rd fav anco album
@@llucsimon418 also sound of silver would probably be my 2007 pick
I think his take is completely disrespectful. It’s a unique record that fills me like a thicc drug. I absolutely love Person Pitch.
Can't believe you mentioned Wolves in the Throne Room. I feel so seen.
I’d love a ranking of animal collective albums
Seconded

Anco tier list/worst to best?
That Arcade Fire is great and I can see why it’s their pick but I feel like the 2004 AOTY is From A Basement On The Hill
I have that Animal Collective album cuz Sputnik ranked it giga high yeaes ago and I thought I'd order it and give it a shot. Never really "got it". But it was interesting. Haven't listened to it in probably 7 years at least. Might have to spin it.
did you give it a spin? it's a real grower. i think it's just wonderful.
2000: Kid A
2001: Is This It
2002: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
2003: Give Up
2004: Funeral
2005: Illinoise
2006: The Black Parade
2007: In Rainbows
2008: Third

Good list, But the album's actually called "Illinois", Simply with the the text "Sufjan Stevens invites you to come on feel the Illinoise!" on the cover. Unsubscribed.
Good list
You have terrible taste in music, Kid A okay the rest is just a big NO.
Anthony *finally* talking at length about Illinois has made this a wonderful start to the day 🥰
(There was that video on another channel he’d recorded talking about it, but that was deleted years ago so this is all I’ve got xxx)
@@max-beckett yay!
This is the closest we're getting to a classic review 😔
@@CaldoV1 agreed 😭
I keep requesting it for a patreon review but it gets ignored even when it got the most upvotes one time ;_;
I agree with your assessment of Echoes all this time later. I’d go so far to say that it’s just fine.
It's a shame Panda Bear gets shit on so much for the production style, because the ideas behind his music and the craft of what he does is incredible.
If he were produced by Dre he'd be a household name.
As if animal collective aren’t like the most popular “indie alternative” band on the internet.
The Glow Pt. 2 is an dreadful beautiful album.
Everybody would have to listening to it. It is too incredible.
Room on Fire a much better album for the 2003 pick.
Also, good news for people who love bad news is a great pick for 2004. Float on was on the radio constantly and beloved by everybody.
Those are both definitely standouts for those years for me, too.
I was surprised at the absence of mentions for Joanna Newsom (I vaguelly recalled her not being aoty on pitchfork, but Ys is a strong contender for album of the decade for me) and Jens Lekman, whose most celebrated output was during the 00s and I thought I remembered pitchfork being a big booster for (Night Falls Over Kortedala was the big one for me, but iirc You're So Silent, Jens was super popular)
good news is so sleeped on. i know that they went into a more mainstream route with the record, but is still incredibly solid and good times is such a killer closer
The rapture definitely has some Bangerz - house of jealous lovers is a great track. But if I had to choose between that or Reptilia? You already know.
Pitchfork at the time far to hipster to choose the modest mouse album, kind of agree with them though, deep cuts are kind of annoying on that album
Yuck, Modest Mouse really started their creative downfall with that album.
Kid A isn’t a S-tier album Melon?!?!
It’s right there in the name, kid A, not kid S
i just wonder what other 2000 album he would’ve chose as album of the year ngl
@@gremlin1634probably lift your skinny fists
No Strokes but Interpol? Nah….
@@joaocardoso6697 nah Kid A is a S
Shitting on Funeral is a trendy take these days but I think it's deeply moving and wonderfully constructed. The fact that it's "aged poorly" in relation to the zeitgeist is more of an indictment of the zeitgeist than on the record itself lol
It pretty much defined the sound of that era. So many bands and songs that were basically following in its footsteps
@@_moonmoth influential≠good
Am I weird for liking suburbs more
The hate will die out eventually, I think. Also, Fantano still praises this record and the other two big ones, Neon Bible and The Suburbs, to this day. I don't think that's changed.
I don't understand the claims of it aging poorly. I think it still sounds amazing, and the backlash is probably just because Arcade Fire have fallen off in more recent years (I still love Reflektor, but their two most recent albums are definitely their two worst).
Surprised 'You Forgot It In People' wasn't given a mention.
I don't understand how Pitchfork can give Wilco a 10 and not give it album of the year?
Personally though Kid A, Person Pitch and MPP are S Tier
It wasn't even the only 10 they gave that year lol. Source Tags & Codes by Trail of Dead got one too.
It has taken a bit of time but I am following Anthony more and more.
Fantano putting Illinois in the S category kept me subscribed.
Putting Funeral in B tier hurt me way more than it should have
I shed a tear. Or two! Fuck I love that album still.
If only it was a good album :x
FR IK
@@KayButtonJay it is though LOL
It belongs there. AF have at least three better albums (Neon Bible, The Suburbs and Reflektor). There are those who still prefer Funeral and that’s fine, but it’s become far too fashionable to pretend Funeral was their best.
TotBL is a devastating record.
Where is Room on Fire or Is This It?
The Glow pt. 2 for 2001 when Vespertine came out that year tho ??
great video idea
“And I’m a freaking Blood Brothers fan”
I agree with the list. I missed The Microphones so going to check that out. Only thing I'd maybe change is swap Kid A and Illinoise. As a major Interpol fan I was also surprised they got AOTY, was a strong year of music.
14:14 holy shot he’s right, in 2007 you had
Neon Bible, FWN, Oracular Spectacular, HFAYTD? Ga Ga Ga Ga, Wincing the Night away, Graduation
I don't really have a definitive list for each year between 00-09, but I know that my pick for 2006 is easily Underoath's "Define the Great Line". Absolutely revolutionary post-hardcore/metalcore album. A lot of people prefer the sound of the previous album "They're Only Chasing Safety", but it's a way more basic pop-punk/post-hardcore project, Spencer's harsh vocals aren't nearly as refined, it's less experimental across the board. DtGL is the apex of their career, and a pivotal piece in the history of post-hardcore as a genre like Refused's "The Shape of Punk to Come" imo.
Giving it a listen at the moment and it's pretty damn great! If you loved Shape of Punk To Come then I can't recommend "It's Me God" by Breach, one of the greatest post-hardcore releases ever made. Their swan song Kollapse is absolutely wonderful too and veers right into post-metal
I was 15 years of age at the release of DtGL and it was a gamechanger for me. Didn't think I'd ever see it being mentioned in these parts of the internet
Sonic Youth tier list when
I second this.
Seriously
fantano pls tell me what u think about sound of silver
I remember him saying it was a better album than Turn on the Bright Lights, so take from that what you will.
@@jd1800 i also remember him saying it was a 10 on a livestream but that was like 4 years ago and i wanna hear more in depth thoughts cause i feel like ive never seen him talk about any of the songs on it 😭
@@happycrimson On second thought, he may have been comparing the bands and not the albums, but it's safe to say he probably thinks it's yellow flannel worthy.
@@jd1800 oh yea no doubt. i just wanna hear some in depth thoughts about it from him 😌
Man, I can understand where you're coming from with some of your takes. Interpol's album, while having strong songwriting and good productions, is incredibly derivate of its influences. And there's certainly an argument to be made for Funeral not aging well, if only because indie music shifted away from that overproduction in the 2010s and the band themselves releasing some uninspired music in the past decade.
Where you've lost me is your opinion on Person Pitch. I adore that album, the repetition, the hypnotic acid-trip effect of it. Different strokes for different folks I guess but the repetitious beats are part of what draws me into its hazy drug-induced atmosphere.
I checked it out and get what they're going for, but the production is just so out there and distracting. I get going for hazy and lots of reverb etc but..... don't get it
Doesnt matter that TOTBL is derivative , it literally improves on all fronts compared to their influences.
@@SwitchbIade not even close
If Fleet Foxes has included "Mykonos" on Fleet Foxes album would that bump it up to S or A? Great album already, but Mykonos is one of the favorites from them.
The pitchfork review said their 2008 album of the year was the combo of Sun Giant/Fleet Foxes, so Mykonos should technically be included in their pick. Although I don't know if Fantano realized that.
I encourage everyone to listen to "Korova Milky Bar" from 2002 by a Polish band Myslovitz. It's a very beautiful and sad alt rock album with immaculate production. Seriously, give it a try as no one outside Poland would probably find it on purpose
Thank you for reminding me of Myslovitz. Spent a student exchange week in eastern Poland in the second half of the 2000s and remember how all the hip kids would recommend Myslovitz, totally forgot about them.
@@Hopesfallout My pleasure!

I don't agree that today 20 years after, Funeral by Arcade Fire sounds dated. I've listened to it lately which I haven't done for many years and I was suprised how much I liked it more than I used to do in the past. For me it is a modern classic and the music is timeless
I agree. I hadn't listened to it ever until yesterday and even if the mixing on the vocals was a bit spotty and the lyrics weren't exactly mind blowing, the hugely varied, and grand sonic palette more than made up for in my opinion. As much as Madvillainy calls into question the "album of the year" title, Funeral is worthy of at least A tier I think.
Was fun hearing pitch forks anime of the year!
Wild that they gave Echoes AOTY over either of Ben Gibbards projects from 2003
Between Transatlanticism, Give Up, and even the Home EP, dude was absolutely on fucking fire in 03.
love this idea, its fun hearing your thoughts on older albums

Is that the editor with the quick note at 14:15 that Person Pitch is in S+ tier for them?
i was so confused i thought fantano said that
Yeah, any of those little text flashes are the opinions of his editor. If Anthony has anything to add after he records, he’ll shoot a pickup.
I love the fact that we are at a point where we can discuss the possibility of MCR’s Three Cheers being AOTY in 2004 due to its contribution to culture and music for the next few years. Gone are the days of “But they wear eyeliner, so they suck!”
They sucked not because they wore eyeliner, they sucked because they were playing commercial pop punk. Bullets was their best album.
@@p0werfu11 if mcr is commerical pop punk what the fuck do you call blink 182
No we’re not at that point. Because Madvilliany takes that year every day of the week
@@p0werfu11based bullets enjoyer. I completely agree, that album is just on another level.
@@p0werfu11I know it's a matter of taste, but calling them commercial pop punk when they've made songs like Mama and You Know What They do to guys like us in prison (as well as many other songs) is not only ridiculous, but objectively incorrect.
Also I honestly can't see why anyone who doesn't like Three Cheers would enjoy Bullets when that album is much worse on every level.
i agree w your editor dude, person pitch is one of the best albums on here! 2007 was just nutty, untrue or
SJ or kala would all also be some of my favorite things on on here. but person pitch has grown so much on me over the years, i think that album is really special
In rainbows !!
Always gotta watch my boy fantano on 2x speed
It only makes sense
Turn on the bright lights has been growing on me immensely recently. I love the way the guitar playing sounds across the thing with how atmospheric it is
Absolutely agree! PDA's ending where it continuesly plays a b over and over with reverb feels cold as hell, but as they add in more instruments and fill the space it becomes such a warm yet atmospheric track. In my honest opinion it's the best track on the album!
@@ehvyn3661 PDA is one of my favorites but I think my top 3 are Say Hello to the Angels, Leif Erikson and Untitled, although I also really love Obstacle 1 and NYC
Kid A deserved the S spot.
It's called Kid A, not Kid S, get over it!
@@SimonSaterlmao
Kid A is 100% the best album of 2000. One of the best albums of any 2000s year
🧢
Since I left you clear imo
Just kidding lmao
I feel like Melon thinks Lift Yr. Skinny Fists is better.
Lift your skinny fists is definetly a contender. But I would have to go with Kid A of personal preference
I actually guessed you would do that.
Since I Left You and Deltron 3030 are definitely contenders for 2000.
2000 is one of the heaviest years ever in terms of classic albums. Somewhere between 5 and 10 albums came out that are absolutely essential to their genres.
That Deltron3030 album is straight genius, wish more hip hop albums were made with concepts like that... what an exhausting but amazing experience.
