it's a funny cover but it doesn't relate to the music one bit, not even ironically

I dont remember it getting as good reviews in the UK as Millions did. Or maybe that was only nme. Can anyone remember?
Also why did Don Cab get hardly any UK coverage?

Some great albums on this list, but Mezzanine is always gonna be an all-timer for me.

Maybe someone explained this already but what's the difference between Part 1 and Part 2 on these? Is there a theme I'm missing (other than that for '97 most of the good records were on the list with 'Homogenic' in it)?

Kerr likes to put more canonical stuff on one list and more obscure stuff on the other list

After the early polls there was complaints we left out 'canonical' albums so we have 1 list with most of the canon and another with our actual pet faves which the polls were supposed to be about rather than canon.

and as mike only wants to do one poll for 1999 some of your faves may be missing
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:44 (four years ago) link
1 poll ok with everyone?

As long as “69 Love Songs” is on it!

I think that's one mike and i both agree with

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Either Autechre or Massive Attack. 1998 me would have picked the latter in a heartbeat.
Literally my choice too. Btw, Music Has the Right to Children is sorely missing from these lists.

my bad, it's in the first one!

went with calexico, it's not the best album on the list but they deserve a vote dammit
― jakey mo collier (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 14:31 (four years ago) link
that Calexico one is a fantastic record

You've got yer LP5s and yer MHTRTCs but of course Soup is the connoisseur's choice of 1998 IDM / ambient techno classic.

False. I can't remember a single thing about it.

I played the hell out of that Mark Lanegan record at the time & havent really thought of it since then, curious to dig it out this week & see if it holds up

I've heard virtually none of these, way off the alt rock train by '98, but Mezzanine.
― confusementalism (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
mezzanine is quite a good choice here and will probably win, i suppose.
― je est un autre, l'enfer c'est les autres (alex in mainhattan), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
nah, Silver Jews will win
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Tuesday, 27 August 2019 18:07 (four years ago) link
i voted for american water so if it doesn't win it will not be my fault.

Couple of shroomy jam bands look sort out of place on this list.

Not surprised by the winner or even the order of the top 5

yes agree

Even with the many time-honoured classics on this list, my 1998 #1 is still The High Llamas’ Cold and Bouncy (Dots and Loops’ sister album).
