I have been informed that my Pazz and Jop ballot was sent to my old Time Out email address, so I didn't vote this year. (It seems unlikely that I would've been able to singlehandedly alter Kanye's sweep, anyhow.) For what it's worth, here are my favorite songs of the year and their respective streams. My favorite albums are below; you can read more about what I thought of them here, at Time Out.
