Alexandre Matias soltou a lista das 500 músicas resenhadas no livro "
The Pitchfork 500", primeira publicação impressa do (ótimo) site
Pitchfork Media, nas palavras deles "um guia para as melhores músicas do punk até o presente".
Não tem como destacar uma ou outra coisa da lista, de tanta coisa boa que tem. Talvez valha falar da presença de ABBA e Michael Jackson, e de "Another Morning Stoner", melhor música do Trail of Dead. Dá vontade de falar de tudo, na verdade. Mas isso foi tarefa do Pitchfork.
