You'll be seeing lots and lots of best/worst-of-the-decade lists between now and the end of the year, as various publications count down their highlights and lowlights of whatever you care to call the years between 2000 and 2009. Pitchfork is getting a jump on things with a list of its top 200 albums of the decade, unveiling numbers 151-200 today.
There's some Triangle content, with Mountain Goats (Durham resident John Darnielle's working handle) coming in at No. 176 with their 2002 masterwork "Tallahassee." And Durham-based Merge Records has the first two of what will no doubt be many slots in the countdown, at No. 159 (Destroyer) and 179 (Camera Obscura).
ADDENDUM (10/12/09): The Uncut 150.
