Psychocandy: I remember liking the title and then finding the actual album very blah.

I know what you mean Scott, I was in college from '79 to 83 and got into all kinds of exciting stuff. I think I first contributed to P & J in 83 or 84. Yea, after I sent the Voice a copy of my zine Thrillseeker and complained in the letters to the editor one year about the lack of votes for the Fall's 'Hex Enduction Hour' (I think?) I got added.

"I Wonder If I Take You Home" Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam "Set it Off" Strafe
1985 was also the year of ROXANNE: UTFO's "Roxanne, Roxanne" and its answer records including Ms Shante's immortal "Roxanne's Revenge"

making lists and keeping track of dates etc was always my least favorite part of the critics game. wouldn't want to see my orignal ballots now cause I'd always do em at the last minute and include some current enthusiasms that looked ridiculous a few months later.
it'd be intersting to see veterans like frank & xhuxk rate the last 25 years in order of musical preference. I subscribe to the "great year" theory, believing that certain years are pivotal in terms of quality and influence, esp in regard to chart pop, like say 1984 and 1988 and 1992...somewhere around 1998 I stopped giving a shit tho.

Ah, thanks. Of course, this was back in the good old days of the American underground, where an album could be released and you might not hear/see it for 1-2 years. Nowadays Lady Sovereign passes gas and it's up on a thousand blogs in a forthnight...

But 1999 was absolutely one of the best ever! How could a fan of "Roxanne's Revenge" not like "Nann Nigga"?
I voted Metallica's "Whiskey in the Jar" number one and proceeded to get into complex arguments with Andrew Palmer, who considered it far inferior to the Thin Lizzy version. If I were to vote all over, "...Baby One More Time" would be my number one (I somehow managed not to vote for it at all, even though I loved it; further proof it was such an amazing year). I also somehow didn't include "Back That Azz Up," maybe because I didn't yet own it, though I'd heard it on the radio enough. Anyway, tremendous year: Mannie Fresh turning into Schubert, Swizz Beatz simultaneously at his most popular and most extreme ("What Ya Want," "Down Bottom"), Max Martin delirious and gorgeous, Christina and Beyoncé and Pink spreading their wings (and Blaque better than any of them), Trina opening her trap, Natacha Atlas finally putting together a consistently good album, Arling & Cameron cracking me up, Europop novelties charting in the U.S. and cracking me up ("Mambo No. 5"), my relationship with my girlfriend cracking up (er, that wasn't so good)... well, anyway, the crests of a whole bunch of waves.

If anyone owns a copy of Unsophisticated Time by Marti Jones and would be willing to burn me a copy (it is comepletly out of print), I would be greatful, plus I won a lot of oop stuff myself, so I would happily trade.
