The Gay Parade- Of Montreal
Mock Tudor- Richard Thompson
Mule Variations- Tom Waits
Keep It Like a Secret- Built To Spill

I See a Darkness- Bonnie Prince Billy
Jewels for Sophia- Robyn Hitchcock
Le Tigre s/t
Kudos for being the only person to namecheck Le Tigre and their self titled album.
The best new wave album not to come out of the 80's imo
@@charlesappleby8049 Yeah I've always loved that album since the first time I heard it. Doesn't really sound like anything else that was coming out around that time. I hadn't really thought about the new wave connection, but that makes sense.
1. Mock Tudor - Richard Thompson
2. Mule Variations - Tom Waits
3. Apple Venus Vol 1 - XTC
4. The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips
5. I Am Shelby Lynne - Shelby Lynne
6. Summerteeth - Wilco

5. Metalhead - Saxon
4. Coping With the Urban Coyote - Unida
3. Buckcherry
2. World Coming Down - Type O Negative
1. By Your Side - The Black Crowes
🏆 When the Pawn... -Fiona Apple (highly melodic, sophisticated, and clever jazz-pop... Steely Dan would be proud)
RUNNERS-UP:
▪︎Californication -Red Hot Chili Peppers (a return to form after the somewhat lackluster One Hot Minute... Frusciante makes all the difference)
▪︎Agaetis Byrjun -Sigur Ros (some breathtaking moments on this album... I was many years late to the Sigur Ros party but I'm glad I finally came around)
▪︎By Your Side -The Black Crowes (just a smokin' record... this album practically invented a new sub-genre: southern glam rock)
▪︎The Soft Bulletin -The Flaming Lips (I'm not bowled over by every track but the best ones are spine tinglers)
JUST MISSED THE CUT:
▪︎69 Love Songs -The Magnetic Fields (the best 20 songs on this album are fantastic but you have to wade through a ton of filler to find them)
▪︎Keep It Like a Secret -Built to Spill
▪︎Summerteeth -Wilco
▪︎Apple Venus Vol. 1 -XTC
▪︎Liquid Skin -Gomez
LIVE ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
▪︎In Session -Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan
Shoutouts to Tom Waits, Sebadoh, Moby, Rage Against the Machine, Supergrass, Nine Inch Nails, Beth Orton, Suede, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Dismemberment Plan, Beck, The Cranberries, and Tom Petty.
Some great records in the top 10 but in terms of depth it's probably the weakest year of the '90s for me.
I do love The Soft Bulletin but like you, not every cut. In particular, I'm not fond of the opening track which hurt its standing on my list.
@Whammy Bard Thanks for your recommendation of When The Pawn... I have only listened to the album this week for the first time and I was very impressed. I’m sure it will grow to become one of my favourites after a few more plays.
1. "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" by Foo Fighters
2. "Supernatural" by Santana
3. "Euphoria" by Def Leppard
4. "Echo" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
5. "Red Voodoo" by Sammy Hagar
1. Fiona Apple - When the Pawn...
2. Meshell Ndegeocello - Bitter

38. MIDNIGHT VULTURES - Beck
39. SLIM SHADY LP - Eminem
40. AGAETIS BYRJUN - Sigur Ros
Of the ones I'd not heard I was most impressed by The Lucksmiths and Lisa Germano. Lisa's album 'Geek the Girl' made my top 10 in 1994 but I'm not very familiar with the rest of her catalog. Good stuff. Thanks!
Great list!... but surely you could find room for Guided By Voices: "Do The Collapse."
@@johnmavroudis2054 - Love GbV!! I think I had Collapse down for the wrong year to be honest
@@NormanWorm That makes sense... Cheers!
Love the inclusion of Quasi, one of the most underrated bands.

I thought no soundtracks considered, or Magnolia by Aimee Mann would have made my list. She will definitely be on the 2000 list.
Those are our rules. You can do as you wish in the comments.
@@TastesLikeMusic That's okay. After looking at my list, l don't think it would crack the top 5 anyway. Top 10. But next year...
Sarah McLachlan's Mirrorball came within one slot of being my "Live Album of the Year." Love it.
Blur - 13
Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails
Wilco - Summerteeth
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
#1 Travis - The Man Who
Honorable Mentions:
Supergrass - S/T
Fountains of Wayne - Utopia Parkway
Dido - No Angel
Great list, but you failed to mention the best album of the year: XTC.
@@johnmavroudis2054 Thanks! I love XTC, but I could never really get into their last two albums (though I tried). Not bad...just not up to the standards of their earlier work IMO.
@@edreynolds5769 I appreciate that... The last album didn't work for me (aside from the usual brilliant tunes here and there), but give Apple Venus Vol. 1 another shot... It might be their best. In any case... great list... Cheers!
I mention an extra here: Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs, it eludes classification by concept and I never listened to it as an album but taking a handful of tunes at a time. Still, it is a great artistic statement.
I easily filled a top 20 www.allmusic.com/user/lists/5fac3dc20992d6a53146ed29 but here is the selection for 1999:
HM - Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles, Beth Hart - Screamin' For My Supper, Fountains of Wayne - Utopia Parkway, Marshall Crenshaw - 447, Lynyrd Skynyrd - Edge of Forever
5. The Donnas - Get Skintight (I was 40 when this was released, so I am past 60 today and you may ask why I care about four plumb high school girls singing about their issues. Even worse, I did not even have any of those problems myself when I was at their age. The reason is that they possess the art to make you care and interested. Maybe because they solve their problems by turning them into fun, best fun since the Ramones.)
4. Pretty Things - Rage...Before Beauty (Guitarist Dick Taylor started in 1963 in a band with Ian Stewart, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - he left to form his own band in 64 with singer Phil May. Their 1968 album S.F. Sorrow is often named as one of the first rock concept albums. They had a number of hits - David Bowie covered two of them on Pin Ups - and made good albums until the late 70s, none of them big sellers. This is an album that has one of their classic line ups showing that they still could create a great rock album like in the old days.)
3. Moby - Play (The blues has a power that always attracted musicians to create something new from its roots. Led Zeppelin did that 30 years prior to this one. Moby's attempt is like digitising old dusty black and white photographs. All of a sudden you see things you never saw before. He transforms those songs that sound like field recordings into fireworks of power and emotion. This is a one hit for me, since I never found anything similar of interest in all his other recordings.)
2. Barbara Thompson & Paraphernalia - Shifting Sands (The British saxophone player released one of the most tuneful and fascinating jazz/rock albums of the decade with her band that included her husband, the legendary drummer Jon Hiseman of Colosseum fame. My detailed review of this stunning album is here www.allmusic.com/album/shifting-sands-mw0000603126)
1. Richard Thompson - Mock Tudor (The well of memorable melodies and guitar lines from this man seems to never dry up. Over 30 years into his career he is still fresh, surprising, humorous and relevant. The themes from his biography are familiar but his way of presenting them is always new. His guitar work is sizzling. A new Village Green for the new millennium.)
Roxanne to the rescue!
I'll be devouring these 20 since it doesn't seem John Kennedy posts anymore. 😞 Not every album on his lists were "for me" but I always managed to find a couple-four really good ones.
That's a solid lineup of albums. My favorites were the two Thompson records, The Pretty Things, Marshall Crenshaw, Grant Hart, Robyn Hitchcock, and Ali Farka Toure.
I listened to the Richard Thompson earlier this week in preparation for my list and it didn't catch my ear. But revisiting it for your list it has bloomed like a flower. Outstanding album.
I can't say the Barbara Thompson record blew me away but I do think it's better than a typical jazz album. I'm definitely putting it on my "re-visit" list.
That Pretty Things album was giving me flashbacks. It sounds like an '80s record to me.
I really liked the Marshall Crenshaw and Grant Hart albums a lot. Good stuff. I think those 2 plus the Richard Thompson are my biggest "takeaways" from your list.
I tell you, it's like Robyn Hitchcock wrote "Viva! Sea-Tac" specifically for me. That's literally where I live- Sea-Tac, Washington. I even worked at Sea-Tac Airport for several years back in the 1990s and early 2000s. (Technically, my address is Kent, Washington, but I actually live closer to Sea-Tac than I do to downtown Kent.) We definitely have "the best computers and coffee," but I wouldn't know about whether we have "the best smack." Heh-heh.
Cheers!
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Thanks for the feedback. I make a similar experience that Jason (? I think it was him) had expressed in the video, i.e. a number of albums that sounded great in the year have lost their charm - or production tricks - with time and the more substantial ones now come up in the lists. I noticed this to be the case since we reached the mid 90s.
I think Moby’s Play is very problematic. If you were to ask me for my brutally harshest opinion of it , I’d say it’s a lousy racially-exploitative album.
5. Antipop by Primus
4. Grand Slam by Spiderbait
3. Jewels For Sophia by Robyn Hitchcock
2. A Man's Not A Camel by Frenzal Rhomb
1. The Battle Of Los Angeles by Rage Against The Machine
I absolutely love Jewels for Sophia.
1. Summerteeth - Wilco
2. Axxess & Ace - Songs: Ohia
3. Lost Son - Richmond Fontaine
4. Cheating at Solitaire - Mike Ness
5. Echo - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
6. Burn to Shine - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals
7. The Velvet Touch Of - Los Straitjackets
8. Rehearsals for Departure - Damien Jurado
9. Central Reservation - Beth Orton
10. I See A Darkness - Bonnie "Prince" Billy
11. Mojave - Willard Grant Conspiracy
Good to see Axxess & Ace, never see Songs: Ohia mentioned much. Jason Molina's work deserves much greater exposure.
@@brentschildt9091 Alright, another Molina fan! His albums are going to be featured prominently on my upcoming lists. 2 in the top 5 for 2000.
5. My morning Jacket- The Tennessee Fire
4. Flaming Lips- Soft Bulletin
3. Mos Def- Black in Both Sides
2. Dr. Dre- 2001
1. The White Stripes- The White Stripes
Lol you guys really shaft The White Stripes and rap in general
1999
1. 69 Love Songs - Magnetic Fields
2. I See A Darkness - Bonnie "Prince" Billy
3. Slim Shady - Eminem
4. The Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips
5. Californication - RHCP
Don't @ me
Also don't know the year that well
Streets ahead of anything else released in 99
1. HMS Fable Shack
Another band from Liverpool with a knack for writing great pop tunes,
3 decades after the masters showed the way, doffing the occasional cap to
late sixties West Coast psychedelia.............highly recommended.
Very pleased to see a strong recommendation for Michael Head's Shack.
Yes lad my number two
@@gregjohnston7959 I'm glad to see Shack and Travis being mentioned for this year, in the comments thread at least. Nik Kershaw is worth consideration too.
Great video as ever guys. I trust your choices so will give the Fiona Apple and Chris Cornell albums a spin. I agree that it's not a standout year, but my list -
5. Pavement - Terror Twilight
4. The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
3. Tom Waits - Mule Variations
2. My Morning Jacket - The Tennessee Fire
1. Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun
Some good calls including Dream Theater, Fiona Apple and Chris Cornell which would have made my own top 5. Of those not mentioned:
1. Still life - Opeth
, a magnificent metal album, one of their best
2. No Angel
- Dido, why is this criticised, great warm pop with excellent production
3. Supernatural - Santana, again why criticise it, it has some of their best work in many years
4. Sogno
- Andrea Bocelli, what a voice
5. Flower power - The Flower Kings, uplifting progressive rock from Sweden (two Scandinavian acts in the list!)
No Angel is in my top 5 as well. Solid album.

@@TastesLikeMusic Jason, please do.
Dude, never heard of 1 or 2 either and freaking love them. That Hefner album has a completely rad sound.
@@chapmancarruthers Glad you enjoyed them 👍🏻
1999 hit for me. I actually really like my top 10 albums(2004 is a much worse year now that I've ranked that far on my own). I'm a big fan of post britpop though and that sound is starting to take shape. Euphoria Morning is my only top 5 to make any of their lists or mentions.
1) Ágætis byrjun - Sigur Ros
2) Performance and Cocktails - Stereophonics
3) Euphoria Morning - Chris Cornell
4) The Man Who - Travis
5) Title of Record - Filter
6) Showbiz - Muse
7) Volume 2: Release - Afro Celt Sound System
8) Supernatural - Santana
9) No. 4 - Stone Temple Pilots
10) Supergrass - Supergrass
My favorite for this year is Built To Spill Keep it Like A Secret by a hair over Mule Variations by Tom Waits.
Absolutely love my top 3 for this year: Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun (probably one of my top 10 of all time and one of the most gorgeous albums ever made, despite being all sung in Icelandic), Mr. Bungle - California (right up there with Faith No More's Angel Dust as the best album Mike Patton has been involved in - it seems like every crazy left turn on here works) and The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (a treasure trove of infectious melodies as well as clever and hilarious lyrics sending up as many love song styles as possible). I would go as far to say I haven't found any albums released since 1999 I love anywhere near as much as these 3, with the possible exception of Funeral from Arcade Fire. My #4 is Scenes From A Memory, an album I bought the day it came out at the height of my Dream Theater obsession and I still love it now (saw them do it all the way through both on that tour and on the 20th anniversary of it), while #5 could be between a few albums I'm not quite sure of at the moment, but I'm guessing it could be Wilco - Summerteeth. Tom Waits - Mule Variations, XTC - Apple Venus and Fiona Apple - When The Pawn... are also contenders.
1. Apple Venus Volume 1 - XTC
2. The Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips
3. Sky Motel - Kristin Hersh
4. 13 - Blur
5. On How Life Is - Macy Gray
6. Central Reservation - Beth Orton
7. Hours - David Bowie
8. 69 Love Songs - Magnetic Fields
9. HMS Fable - Shack
10. Niafunke - Ali Farka Toure
Bubbling Under:
Temperamental - Everything But the Girl
Midnite Vultures - Beck
Summerteeth - Wilco
What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? - Echo & the Bunnymen
good call on ali farka toure . "world music" is almost always excluded from these sorts of lists .
Good list, particularly like the inclusion of your numbers 1,4,6 & 9
For me, Apple Venus trails off a little towards the end otherwise it might've made my top 5. Most of it is fantastic.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Beautiful melodies and harmonies throughout put it above most of their other albums for me. The Last Balloon is a perfect ending
Note to all who proclaim that rock is dead:
Matthew Sweet - Catspaw was released yesterday and it is a pretty good 2021 ROCK album and probably one of his best. The album Neil Young & Crazy Horse did not make for a long time, listen and you know what I mean. My first 4 star album of the new year.
We will be checking it out and possibly discussing it on the channel later this week. -Jason
To be clear, I *never* said rock was dead. I said the rock era came to an end in 1997, which is true. (For example, there's still lots of great classical music being made today, but that doesn't mean we're still in the classical era.) If you recommend the Matthew Sweet I will definitely check it out. You almost never miss with your recommendations.
Rock is not dead. Rock and roll definitely is though. - Joe
Thank you, I'll check it out!
Rock is not dead, but it is on life support, hidden away in an undisclosed location. Rock radio has been dead for years. But rock is like a cockroach, it finds away to survive even if you have to search hard to find it.
I used to love watching MTV and learned to like most stuff around this time. I was never a snob at all but looking back after being more into other music I can't say I was much of an album guy back then. Was more of a "normal" radio/MTV listener I suppose. With that said these are five albums I enjoy quite a bit.
5. Foo Fighters - There Is Nothing Left to Lose
I can agree with Joe that it might be their most well written album song for song. Not sure it today is my favorite Foo Fighters album but definitely one of the better. I really don't mind the slower songs in general but there might be one to many here.
4. Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning
Sad to have lost Chris Cornell. Not only since he had a wife and two daughters but also because he felt like a rock star with more to give even after decades in the business. This was a nice change of pace after Soundgarden BUT the overall feeling is a bit too depressing for my personal taste. Strong record but not something I reach for often.
3. Rage Against The Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles
Small catalog of albums and good quality on each. Can't say I love every song here but those I like makes up for it.
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Without a doubt the most nostalgic for me on the list. Not sure if I ever need to hear it again but it is a good album and not just teenage memories.
1. Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory
A newer album to me. Probably a bit more accessible than most of their albums and a really good one. Cheesy story? Skip it and just enjoy the music!
Also.
Good idea from Joe making some sort of Chris Cornell video. Perhaps a Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave AND Chris Cornell Solo list? It's not as much as it sounds! You guys made a Neil Young list so Chris Cornell and company should be easy!
any love/appreciation for Dido's music leave me bewildered despite/because of it's massive success. i could go into a something negative but i dread someone saying something tired/cliched like "people should be respectful of others tastes in music" or appreciate there are types of music they don't like.

1999: (Year Average 8.1)
1. The White Stripes - The White Stripes (8.5)
2. Keep It Like A Secret - Built To Spill (8)
3. Summerteeth - Wilco (8)
4. When The Pawn - Fiona Apple (8)
5. The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner - Ben Folds Five (8)
Interesting episode. I'm with Jason on this one. Fiona Apple's "When the Pawn..." is also my #1 for this year.
It is a complete outrage that Ringo's Christmas album was not unanimously selected by all three of you as the clear #1. A Beatle + Christmas music? It's like when they combined Oreos with a Smores flavor. DOUBLE the awesomeness!
1. RHCP - Californication ... just love this album! The rest of 1999 is a bit of a blur for me (for reasons) so this is really a year I need to go back and try to remember what the heck I was listening to ... lol! Mid-October I moved back to Oz for good, a bittersweet decision that completely changed the direction of my life. Maybe that's why ...
5) This Desert Life- Counting Crows
4) In Spite Of Ourselves- John Prine
3) Echo- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
2) Fight Songs- Old '97's
1) Summerteeth- Wilco
Honorable Mention: The Mountain- Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band; Californication- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Counting Crows - This Desert Life
Tom Waits - Mule Variations
Yume Bitsu - Yume Bitsu
Live - the Distance to Here
That is quite an eclectic top 5! - Joe
This turned out to be a stronger year than I expected it to be. Very little between those behind my number 1.
Honourable mentions:
The Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips
On How Life Is - Macy Gray
Showbiz - Muse
Apple Venus Vol 1 - XTC
5 Supernatural - Santana
4 Play - Moby
3 Guerilla - Super Furry Animals
2 Head Music - Suede
1 13 - Blur
I know number 5 wins me no cool points, and I agree with Joe that it started what can be a rather annoying trend of older artists collaborating with younger ones, but I find it an enjoyable melange of rock/pop/latin/r&b with Carlos's unmistakable guitar tone.
Moby - Play
NIN- the Fragile
Rage- Battle of LA
Beck- Midnite Vultures
Death in Vegas- Contino Sesions.
Battle of LA is underrated
I said earlier that I don't find myself qualified to rank albums from 1995-present, since I've heard 50-100+ albums from the prior years and far fewer in those, but your lists emboldened me. BTW, I have Tidal as my best of '96, but When the Pawn falls just outside the top five for me for this year.
5. Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory. Don't much care for the idea of Dream Theater as something to grow out of, but oh well.
4. Opeth - Still Life.
3. Wilco - Summerteeth.
2. Moby - Play.
1. Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin.
It's not that often Jason and I pick the same album as winner. 'When the Pawn...' is one of those records where I thoroughly enjoy every minute, every second.
I haven't heard it until recently. It's damn good. Might get higher on my list in time. It's not my favorite kind of music but I appreciate that she has her own style.
Have we ever before?
@@TastesLikeMusic I don't think so, at least not since the 1983 video when I first started following this series (although we came close a few times with Pixies and Smiths albums.)
But looking back before 1983 there are a few winners we would have in common, such as a Pet Sounds and Rumours.
Oh, and the White Album, too.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Fiona could be the last as well. We'll see....
1. The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
2. The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
3. Pavement - Terror Twilight
4. Pet Shop Boys - Nightlife
5. Fiona Apple - When the Pawn…
I went overboard with this year.
30) Wisconsin Death Trip - Static-X
29) Make Yourself - Incubus
28) Play - Moby
27) Slipknot - Slipknot
26) Ágætis byrjun - Sigur Rós
25) Apple Venus, Vol. I - XTC
24) Fantomas - Fantomas
23) The Maggot - The Melvins

07) Juxtapose - Tricky
06) Anima Animus - The Creatures
05) To Venus and Back - Tori Amos
04) Vision Creation Newsun - Boredoms
03) Methods of Mayhem - Methods of Mayhem
02) Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
01) Midnite Vultures - Beck
Midnite Vultures is a killer party album and my favorite from Beck.
Methods of Mayhem is sort of a rap/rock project by Tommy Lee, drummer for Mötley Crüe. It is surprisingly great. It gets downvoted a lot, mostly by Mötley Crüe fans unhappy that it's not Mötley Crüe. I rank it high cuz it rocks and also for the great memories associated with it.
Everybody else is saying it's a weak year and you go the other way, Mr. Opposite. I love it.
Wisconsin Death Trip is a bit of a guilty pleasure - robotic, not very melodic but they came up with their own sound which I respect, and they do rock, but I usually take Static-X in small doses.
Faust and Robyn Hitchcock also appear on my extended list, just not in the top 10. Especially Robyn Hitchcock must get a note in my 90s summary for releasing consistent albums throughout - just never a brilliant one.
@@roxannewalsh I think Eye is brilliant as is Jewels for Sophia although the latter has a few songs I don't like quite as much as the others. Jason picked Fegmania! as a runner up in '85 but hasn't chosen or even mentioned RH since, to my knowledge.
I was just telling Roxanne there's a song on that Robyn Hitchcock album that's about where I live- Sea-Tac, Washington. We definitely have "the best computers and coffee," but I wouldn't know about whether we have "the best smack." Heh-heh.
Nice list.
Much better year than 1998!
My picks:
1. RHCP: Californication
2. Creed: Human Clay
3. Incubus: Make Yourself
4. NIN: The Fragile
5. Korn: Issues
Another vote for Midnite Vultures
In 1999 I was in high school and majorly into hip-hop:
1. Beck: Midnite Vultures
2. Blackalicious: Nia (favorite hip-hop album of all time)
3. Stereolab: Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night
4. Pharoahe Monch: Internal Affairs
5. Mos Def: Black on Both Sides
Keep It Like A Secret and When the Pawn in that order...
Lost And Gone Forever by Guster, Nothing Left To Lose By Foo Fighters, Californication by RCHP, Utopia Parkway by Fountains of Wayne and Clarity by Jimmy Eat World.
Hey Jason, thank you so much for putting the album artwork of Utopia Parkway by Fountains of Wayne in the first 9 of 1999. To me that's good enough for me for a mention. Love your channel, I'm addicted to it.
Thanks! Great band, just can’t quite compete with my very favorite stuff. Certainly worthy of thumbnail inclusion. -Jason
My top 5
5. Human Clay (Creed)
4. Ecliptica (Sonata Arctica)
3. Californication (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
2. Euphoria (Def Leppard)
1. Supernatural (Santana)
Saved Listography for a relaxed Saturday. Put on some music, Summerteeth, which I now know was released in 1999! Good pick guys. I will also give Euphoria Morning a listen to, thanks!
Yeah. across the board it might have been a weak year, but that doesn't mean there weren't some phenomenal albums. In fact, three on my list would make my top 100 or 150 albums of all time.
1. The Soft Bulletin- The Flaming Lips (I used to go to a coffeehouse near my university and there was a barista who turned me on to some amazing music. When I heard him play this, I was blown away. It seemed really unique and amazing to me at the time. Soon after, I got this album and then dove deep into the Flaming Lips' back catalog. I always say this album is what Pink Floyd might have sounded like if they were fronted by Brian Wilson. Amazing!)
2. Summer Teeth- Wilco (Maybe this isn't their masterpiece, but I still find it to be the most enjoyable Wilco album, and I go back to it a lot. Also, this was the album where Wilco really departed from the alt country genre, or greatly expanded it, depending on your viewpoint.)
3. 69 Love Songs- The Magnetic Fields (OK. I admit all 69 Love songs are not stellar, but 2/3 of this collection is wondrous, and you can always make a playlist or skip tracks. What makes this collection so amazing is the the absolutely uniquely clever, quirky, and catchy songwriting of Stephin Merritt who gives a master class on pop songcraft, and the White Album- like way of covering multiple genres and styles of music over its sprawling three discs. Some of the best indie pop songs ever written are on this album, and some are so strong they transcend the trappings of the genre. I never get tired of my favorite songs on this collection)
4. Keep it Like a Secret- Built to Spill (One of my favorite albums to put on the summer time. So full of energy and Carry the Zero is one of my favorite songs of all time)
5. Mule Variations- Tom Waits (one of his best albums. I come back to it a lot. What's he building in there?!)
I admit that I need to check out Fiona Apple's back catalog. I pledge to do so in the near future. I'll see if I can pick up "When the Pawn..." first.
Blur - 13 / Suede - Head Music/ Flaming Lips - The soft bulletin / Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails / Van Morrison - Back on top / James - Millionaires

4. "Hours" David Bowie
3. "Guns" Cardiacs
2. "Stupid Dream" Porcupine Tree
1. "The Soft Bulletin" The Flaming Lips
Late to the party and not feeling well. I'm not going to write like I normally do, but 1999 is bit better than 98 in terms of depth with at least 6 or 7 albums I like.
