LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
icking off our round-up of last year's best music is a report from the quartet of music critics at the Tucson Weekly.
The Boston Phoenix has four Best of 1999 lists, too, but they've been divided up by genre: pop from the fringes, rap's slow jams and dirty bastards, Latin music without Ricky Martin, and a bunch of deserving unknowns. Take your pick and dive in.
