Don't know why they didn't offer a plain-text list

September 4, 2009 8:10 AM

Is there a way to quickly check if a certain song (or artist) is on Pitchfork's list of the top 500 tracks of the decade? I've been Googling to try to see if anyone has posted a plain-text version of the whole list on one page, but I haven't found it.

For instance, let's say I'm wondering if there are any Norah Jones songs on the list. I could Google something like [pitchfork "top 500 tracks" "norah jones"], but this is really haphazard since it'll return any page with any reference to Pitchfork, Norah Jones, etc. Limiting it to [site:pitchfork.com] still doesn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?

I doubt it's available online for free; they turned it into a book. I believe there's an index, if you could find it on Google Books or Amazon's search inside (or pick one up in a bookstore).

they turned it into a book.

Nope, that book is Pitchfork's list of the best songs of the past 3 decades, not just the 2000s. I'm asking about a different list.

Pitchfork 500 at Wikipedia has what you need.

I've looked myself high and low for an index, text file...whatever without any lucky. I started typing it up myself but got bored pretty quickly. :(

Again, just to be extra-clear, I'm asking about Pitchfork's list of the top 500 tracks of the 2000s, not Pitchfork's list of the top 500 songs of the 3 decades since 1977.

You can search for something like ["bombs over baghdad" site:pitchfork.com inurl:the-top-500-tracks-of-the-2000s]. That won't work for your Norah Jones example right now because apparently there was a featured news item about a new Norah Jones album appearing on every page when the site was last crawled. But it should work in general.

search goolge for site:http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/7685-the-top-500-tracks-of-the-2000s-500-201/ band_name

The top 200 are on Pirate Bay. Not that I condone piracy, but the file list is a list. 200-500 ae

Google search that works pretty well: site:pitchfork.com intitle:"Top 500" norah It still finds some junk but that's unavoidable
