Whenever Elliott Smith shows up in a poll, I can't vote for anything other than Elliott Smith. Even though XO is somehow my least favourite album of his, Waltz #2 is a singularly beautiful song.

I think I was too young to appreciate Stardust when it came out and could never understand why this over-long dance track was always polluting my favourite radio pop shows. I still don't think much of it now, mind.

Just in case y'all were curious, the best song from '98 is actually almost certainly something off of Royal Trux's Accelerator.

Probably not a big deal in the states though.
