PITCHFORK RANKS 1Pitchfork today unveils its list of The 100 Best Songs of 2018. This year, Ariana Grande released her exes with love, Pusha-T spilled the tea on Drake’s baby, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks took a flawed country to task, and CupcakKe debuted approximately 30 new metaphors for the male anatomy. This carnival ride of a year had an equally wild soundtrack every step of the way.
Topping Pitchfork's list is “Love It If We Made It,” by The 1975. Setting a whole feed’s worth of headlines, catastrophes, and memes to an industrial new wave rave-up, “Love It If We Made It” is the type of sing-along retrospective usually best left to award show montages and “SNL” season finales. It addresses police brutality, the prison industrial complex, the opioid crisis, and much more, as frontman and lyricist Matty Healy offers epitaphs both sweeping (“Modernity has failed us”) and specific (“Rest in peace Lil Peep”). With an anxious arrangement inspired by Scottish cult band the Blue Nile, the song connects culture and counterculture, internet and real life, past and present in a way that feels miraculously, temporarily united.
