http://www.furia.com/all-idols/2007/ - Glenn McDonald's awesome bit of STATISTRY about the Pazz and Jop and Idolator polls is IN.

Yes yes the combined lists are interesting in their way but the real fun for thee critix among us is in discovering who our critical soulmates are via the magic of statistical correlation.

And OMG POPTIMIST HIVEMIND no less than 4 of mine are on this list (and another is Scott Woods who I kind of think of as a poptimist-by-proxy).

Jimmy Draper has probably indirectly contributed to Poptimists a lot thru me and koganbot.

Isn't Ken Tucker from NPR? I've seen him in my list in my similarity rankings and clicking through individual albums and tracks on my ballot.

Research needed: Steve Knopper?

Ken Tucker is a long-time rock critic, appeared in the Voice back in the day; also wrote for Entertainment Weekly about television and for all I know still does. I just now searched rockcritics.com and found this interview with him. Anyway, he's the guy who reviewed Aly & A.J. for NPR last year (and he voted for Insomniatic).
