PJ dunkin'

Pazz and Jop time again - here's my ballot, I feel a bit guilty for not taking longer over it. 2005 was a strange year.

(from that you can access the whole bunfight, if you like - I've not actually explored it yet, even the singles list feels quite distant from anything I care much about. Is it just me or do the concerns of US and UK music fans feel further apart now than any time since about '95?)

I think my ballot was full of pretty obvious choices, minus K-Bitches perhaps, the kind of ballot a typical pro-pop British crit might put together (except maybe I'm the only pro-pop Brit-crit who gets polled, who knows!) - and Glenn McDonald's rankings even on singles alone still have me right at the bottom.

Also there's been some occasions when the charts have been more convergent - the early 90s for instance, with Eurodance going one way and R'n'B and alt.rock the other.

they ask me also but i never get it together (also it clashes w.tax year which demands v.similar declarations about the recent past rendering me totally allergic)
