Rock Critic of The Year
-----------------------
JD Considine - Washington Post, Musician Magazine, and whoever else
will sit long enough for him to spew onto. 

1. For his long time ability to insert "accessible" and "melodic" into a
review without even trying. (any UK review).

2. For his gut-busting Van Halen reviews.  Yeah, Sammy Hagar really isn't
50 years old, suuuuure...

3. To make everything sound overblown. To embrace Imports as the only
type of music being made today that is "accessible" enough.

4. For his ability to still refer to SST records as "hardcore"

5. For way, cool interview with Eric "where the fuck am I?" Clapton in 
   "Musician" while Lee Renaldo shivers on the street.

Cheers
------
1. Wham! breaks up and George sits on J.D.'s face
2. New Poison Idea Album
3. Madonna announces that 1987 she will join Cicconne Youth and will
   marry Greg Ginn and divorce Sean.
4. Doug Alan's overused asshole...

Jeers
-----
1. A new Woodentop Album
2. The Housemartians (and their rock "success" on commercial rock radio)
3. The Fall and their attempt to make hit records.
4. Andrew Hudson and his 13 year old pick up with the Mohawk.
5. WHFS - a good place to send your used cunt rags

Net.Person of the Year
----------------------
Greg Taylor -- belligerent, uninformed postings; a breath of stangant
stewage in this palace of scum.


Best Discussions

1. Why does JD Considine still exist?
2. Why does Shelli Myers still insist on ending her name with an 'i' ?
3. Jim Hofmann's penis knot.
4. Why does Sue embrace Melody Maker as the Gospel ?
