Re: (TV) top 100 singles: 2000-2004

[Russ Van Rooy <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

Good music is ageless and always stands the test of time. Singles are 
meant for selling records, making record companies/labels some money, 
some of which trickles down to the artists. Being that it's 'for the 
money' singles are geared towards the lowest common denominator to 
please the most people. As for those of us who belong to the Marquee 
Moon list, we generally go out of way to seek out  the good  music; the 
ageless music. Singles on the other hand seek out a market. I don't want 
to dismiss all of the singles from the Pitchfork list out of hand, I've 
heard of  and have listened to a few of these artists, but I would bet 
that a large majority of the songs are forgettable. If that's age, so be 
it. I prefer to think of it as taste.
