That second link was fire.
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
"Music comes first, lyrics are secondary."Fun fact:
The fall equinox typically falls on the 22nd or 23rd of September, so the evening of the 21st is right at the end of summer. However, songwriter Allee Willis says the seasons have little to do with the date of choice here:
"We went through all the dates: ‘Do you remember the first, the second, the third, the fourth … ’ and the one that just felt the best was the 21st. I constantly have people coming up to me and they get so excited to know what the significance was. And there is no significance beyond it just sang better than any of the other dates."
"I learned my greatest lesson in songwriting: Never let the lyric get in the way of the groove."
Whether or not that's what MT is referring to, I have an awful lot of albums from that list.

I don't read Pitchfork any more... 10/10 just means an album you think is perfect.
Did John Lennon steal your girlfriend or something?So do I. It's like they said "what was cool for uncool kids?" and just copied it all down.
Pretty cringe to be nailed so closely, TBH. I WAS/AM NON-CONFORMIST AND UNIQUE IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS A MILLION OTHER 16-YEAR OLDS WITH GOOD GRADES AND NO SEX LIFE!!!
The sour note is they can fuck right off with all that Beatles fan service. And stop trying to make Pavement happen (that was IIRC the first inkling that Pitchfork was just another con).
