Ha! I adored AN at the time, taped every episode etc. Still have fond memories, particularly of the bands playing live in the studio (David Thomas, JSBX, Evil Superstars iirc?). But 120M was great too!

Pavement or Robert Wyatt. This was the beginning of a few years where I didn’t listen to new releases very much but went to lots of jazz and avant-garde shows.

did anyone else get into older music at this time like a few people have said already on the thread?

I was just getting started. It's my year 1.

97 actually is one of my favourite years but there's a lot of overlap between my faves and the pollrunners' (but that won't stop me ^_^)

I did spend a lot of this year investigating krautrock it's true. It was revitalising to get steeped in the radical spirit for a while. Drum & bass was beginning to lose its way after that long period of exciting development you could hear from week to week.

I had to vote for New Forms as it barely left my walkman all year. My runners up = Radiohead, Daft Punk and Chems albums, honorable mention to the nowadays completely forgotten 'David Holmes – Lets Get Killed'

'David Holmes – Lets Get Killed'
should have been on the bubbling under list.

that's a great record, as is This Films Crap Lets Slash the Seats and Bow Down to the Exit Sign, and his Essential Mix is fantastic and all

0 votes for Hard Normal Daddy is a surprise but I guess it doesn't sound like the future of jazz anymore
― frogbs, Wednesday, 21 August 2019 13:02 (one year ago) link
0 votes for Cornershop is also surprising but I guess its very much of its time too

I would have voted for Hard Normal Daddy if Bjork, Radiohead, and the Chems weren't options

Loved the Cornershop LP at the time. Apart from the tune with the Hazlewood / Sinatra vibe, I've not heard the thing in about a decade.
― kraudive, Wednesday, 21 August 2019 20:14 (one year ago) link
Particularly because I voted for it. This poll is bogus!
Noticed this on previous polls and one album I had voted for got zero votes so maybe a glitch in the system?
