Can't speak for the whole, but my beef with Pitchfork isn't so much about taste as personality.

It's a fucking travesty that the Truckers were so low.

I think most of us here were late to the game in discovering 'em. There was only a small contingent of fans at the time (Discostu, Radcliffe, etc). It is surprising that they are that low given how much esteem they are held in now. I actually that it was a pre-2002 release but I just checked and it was indeed a 2002 release.

Yup. The DBTs, Ike Reilly, the Paybacks... I tell ya, some of you folks could save yourselves a lot of time and embarassment if you'd just listen to me once in a while.
