2004 is now THREE YEARS AGO (sort of) - our possibly penultimate pazz and jop ponderations will let you relive that golden or otherwise era. You get THIRTEEN from thirty-eight picks: Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name" and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" turned up last time so are omitted this.

Evanescence is another group whose absence from P&J jumps out. Doubt that Mastodon's making 2006's Jackin' Pop is a harbinger of much [and the few metal fans posting on my livejournal prediction thread were thinking that Blood Mountain is maybe the 50th or 60th best metal album of the year]. Metal just ain't wowing the critics (unless System Of A Down are considered metal, in which case there's half a wow).
