All I Need isn't even the best version of itself (that'd be Les Professionels on the Premiers Symptomes EP)

It's the best version of itself available as an option in this poll.

And it's a worthless comparison anyway plus read heads prefer Solidissimo. Obviously the vocal version that was a hit single would be more popular.

Settled on "This is Hardcore" after all.

I had literally never heard, nor heard of, the Stardust song before.
I had not heard of it as in the name of the artist or the song, but I have heard it a few times before. Reminiscent of Get Lucky actually...epic groove, very digestible, but too repetitive and simple relative to their best stuff.
Even though this is when I stopped listening to the radio there are lots of good tracks here. I'll go for Intergalactic which still sounds fresh 100x listens later.

Looking at this list is a reminder of that funky electro rock aesthetic going on for 2 or so years... and then it disappeared. Daft Punk/Stardust, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, UNKLE, that Beasties song, even Air. Blame computers?

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.

Poor Fatboy Slim.

"Rockafeller Skank" was my #2 choice.
