From Rolling Stone's People of the Year current issue (Issue 964/965):
Section: Two Thousand & Four Rock & Roll Yearbook.
MAY (Page 121)
Moz Fest
Morrissey's long-awaited comeback was the rock event of the year, at least for complete social retards who haven't left their mom's basement since Vauxhall and I came out. After years of self-imposed exile in L.A., the Mozzer bounced back with his first non-crap album in years, You Are the Quarry, his muse reinvigorated and his hair higher than ever. Young bands such as Franz Ferdinand, the Killers and the Libertines lined up to pay tribute. Morrissey toured the United States, dusting off Smiths classics such as "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "How Soon Is Now?" He also duetted with unlikely pal Nancy Sinatra. "The closer I get to absolute senility, the more comfortable I feel," said Morrissey.
The caption for the photo (of Morrissey singing in concert) reads: People see no worth in you. But he does.
JUNE (Page 122)
Lollapalooza, which was to feature the Pixies, Modest Mouse, Morrissey and others, is canceled due to poor ticket sales.
Section: Top Fifty Records of 2004
Franz Ferdinand, the Killers and the Libertines are all listed. You Are the Quarry is absent though there is an inset article (Page 144) with The 10 Best Singles. The Killers, "Somebody Told Me" reads: 2004's best Morrissey imitation - maybe even better than Morrissey's - from sharp-dressed, sharp-tongued Vegas hipsters.

Rolling Stone - Records of the Year
I found it quite odd that YATQ was not included. It was a good album, not the best of 2004, but it should have at least made the top 50.
