Maybe it's just cus this is the first Pazz and Jop which I was birthed for any of the year in relevance but I thought this was quite a fine collection and contains many songs I thoroughly enjoy although I am surprised by the amount of George Michael. I can see he's somehow important but I find his music a little... irrelevant, really. This is probably showing my age/attention span, though.

That said, 'Careless Whisper' is bloody genius still.

ps: Hurrah for X! I've been trying to tell people my age that they aren't some figment of my imagination for years.
