My Decade in Music So Far: Jeremy Gordon

This week, Pitchfork shared lists featuring the best albums and tracks of the decade so far. We asked Pitchfork writers and editors to share a favorite song and album that didn't make the list, along with a music highlight and their personal Top 10s or 20s. Check back for more installments of My Decade in Music So Far.

Marnie Stern: The Chronicles of Marnia [Kill Rock Stars]

Concussive, catchy prog as cleansing as a summer shower—no other record on my list made me feel as alive.

fun.: "Some Nights" [Fueled by Ramen]

This is a line in the sand, as far as I'm concerned. I'm on the side with the rest of the cornballs.

Musical Highlight of the Last Five Years: Earlier this year, I visited my best friend from college in Miami; the weather was great, and we spent most of our time driving around the city at all hours, listening to Nothing Was the Same and talking about everything that had happened in the two years since we'd seen each other. It was the first time that record clicked in a physical setting, and it didn't even take a single think piece.
