So, Pitchfork is putting together its definitive list of the "best" 100 albums of the 1970s. This time there's no Beastie Boys or Pixies releases to unfairly skew(er) the proceedings, so it should be an unmitigated bucket of fun for anybody who cares to remember.
What will be Number One? That's easy: it has to be "Marquee Moon". If it isn't "Horses". Or "Another Green World". Or "Prehistoric Sounds". Or "Lodger". Or "The Ramones". Or "The Modern Dance". Or "London Calling". Or "King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown". Or "Clear Spot". Or "Blood On The Tracks". Or "For Your Pleasure". Or "There's A Riot Goin' On". Or any number of records that in spirit form part of the Sixties but didn't actually appear until after the pedantic, technical, "actual" end of that decade (if you accept that it has in fact ended).
