Pitchfork's Top 100 Tracks of 2008

The staff writers at Pitchfork have compiled an exhaustive list of their favourite tracks of this past year. It makes for some interesting reading with most genres represented. The results were in most part aligned with those of the public vote so I would submit that despite some people's grumblings about Pitchfork's place/influence in the world, this list is relatively fair and representative. Quite a few of the tracks featured as a BSITWT here: Efforts from Born Ruffians (with a little help from Four Tet), M83, Portishead and The Whitest Boy Alive all featured in the top 100 list. The first placed track received double acclaim here with it being declared the BSITWT twice. It is, of course, the collaboration behind Hercules & Love Affair and Anthony Hegarthy on the disco beaut 'Blind'.
