EOY 2017 - Pazz & Jop-Village Voice (US)
Re: EOY 2017 - Pazz & Jop-Village Voice (US)
Apparently the #1 picks (only) from the poll were revealed at an event at a Sonos Store in NYC. I don't understand why they did this. What's the point? That said, neither #1 is a surprise. Looking forward as always to the entire list.

Re: EOY 2017 - Pazz & Jop-Village Voice (US)
By the way, did I miss something - when did Christgau start writing for the Voice again? He's written the overview essay for the poll.
