Musings on Pazz & Jop 2005

I promise not to spend too much time musing on the 2005 Pazz & Jop ballot. But here's a few quickies: Of my Top 10, 5 made the print version Top 40 (Bloc Party, Sufjan, Hold Steady, Art Brut and White Stripes). The rest made the lower 40's and beyond. I was surprised that the Kaiser Chiefs and Kings of Leon didn't rank Top 40, but that's the way it goes.
