Pitchfork Top 100 Singles

I hardly agree with a lot of these -- but there are certainly some interesting choices here, as mweel as music you probably haven't heard -- but should.

Let me spare you the suspense: here are their top 10

010: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Maps"

009: The Rapture
"House of Jealous Lovers"

008: Missy Elliott
"Work It"

007: Beyoncé [ft. Jay-Z]
"Crazy in Love"

006: Annie
"Heartbeat"

005: Kylie Minogue
"Can't Get You Out of My Head"

004: Missy Elliott
"Get Ur Freak On"

003: LCD Soundsystem
"Losing My Edge" / "Beat Connection"

002: Outkast
"Hey Ya!"

001: Outkast
"B.O.B."

See what I mean? A novelty song, 2 Missy Elliotts, and Beyonce in the top 10. Either that wa sa pretty horrific period of music, or these guys have the musical chops of 14 year olds . . .
