Re: Errors in the 2020 update

Wikipedia page for 'Pretenders' says it was released 1979 in the U.S., but it's listed as 1980 on the web page.

Re: Errors in the 2020 update

Apologies if I've missed something, but am I right to think the latest Pitchfork list of best 80's albums wasn't included in the update? Just checked out Paid In Full on the website and didn't see its Pitchfork placement listed, after which I confirmed it indeed appeared on their list at 11. Then I ...

Radiohead has it too easy. I've grown slightly more positive toward the album lately, but it's still hardly deserving of the amount of acclaim it has attained.

The single "The Wire" was released in 2013. If what you're refering to is an alternative take (I'm quite sure you're refering to a demo version), I assume the officially released single will be the one applicable for listing, in which case it belongs to the 2013 list.
