Earlier today, P4K posted their Best-Of List For 2007. Read the Fork's thoughts about their 50 favorite albums of 2007 here, and or see what they were by looking below:
Up top is a playlist consisting of one song from each of Pitchfork's top ten albums of the year.
What I found to be interesting were the omissions. For example, the 'Fork heaped praised on the likes of St. Vincent,(and rightfully so), who nonetheless was excluded from the top 50. Furthermore, Forked hyped bands such as The Twilight Sad, Menomena, and The Black Kids, aren't anywhere to be found. Even more interesting is that the scribe of the glowing Black Kids review, Marc Hogan, didn't even put Wizard Of Ahhhs on his best-of 2007 list. Very interesting, indeed.

Why Menomena isn't on there is anyone's guess (my personal favorite record of '07), but I'll bet that w/r/t The Twilight Sad, they just came to their senses and realized they aren't really all that great.
St. Vincent is also great, but maybe they interviewed her and then she asked them to pull the interview because she thought she was misquoted even though she wasn't. It could happen to anyone.
I think Justice deserves credit for an even bigger accomplishment than having a record in Pitchfork's Top 20: Teaching every blogger how to make the † symbol (option + t on a mac, if you didn't know).
Steveille -
I am probably one of...well, the one person on earth who is utterly indifferent to Menomena. I've been trying to get into them all year long and it just hasn't happened. So I am not too sad about their exclusion.
On the other hand, I hope that your assertion about Twilight Sad is right. Still, you'd think they'd throw their weight behind a band who played at their festival.
Do you know how to make the cross thing on PC?
