![]() ![]() ![]() And maybe even slightly authoritative, in a way.īut if anything, it still strikes me as even more subjective than usual. Just the opposite, really - Given the sheer number of albums released (probably somewhere between 2000’s 35,5’s 79,695 according to Billboard), the number that critics in general had a use for ( 1,952 named on Pazz & Jop ballots according to Robert Christgau’s annual essay), and the mere the fact that, as the music editor of the Village Voice at the time, I probably both was sent and heard more new music (and maybe saw more music live too) than I ever had before or since (and conceivably more than any other writer out there), a list this long should if anything feel less absurd. There is no logical reason why this list should seem more presumptuous, self-indulgent and downright ridiculous to me than all the earlier years I’ve catalogued.
