Though much of the pleasure must take the form of the negative (um, excuse me, did we really make that vague Madonna song the #7 single of the year, Bright Eyes at 34, and manage not to get Ciara's "1, 2 Step" into the top 40? That is some humiliating activity), it's a real pleasure for me to be reminded that reading through the votes, comments, and mini-essays in the annual Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll makes one of my favorite days of the year, every single year of my adult life. It's like reading the yearbook of the school you never quite went to, from whence you never quite graduated.
