I think The State I Am In seems like the perfect encapsulation of Belle and Sebastian, and it was their first song on their first album

and it's great. I prefer Tigermilk though I never heard it until the CD reissue came out. Boy with the arab strap was the last one i bought

Tigermilk only had a very limited release in 1996, most people at least in the US didn't hear it until its re-issue in 1999. I heard If You're Feeling Sinister first and had such a crush on it. I still think it is their overall best album

I also did not hear Tigermilk in 1996, someone taped me IYFS in '97 or early '98 with an nth-generation dub of Tigermilk on the other side that was missing some of the tracks and actively painful to listen to (and I liked lo-fi) and then I bought the reissue

I voted for 2Pac, I think this is a stellar year and I like most of it, but I guess a lot of it is associated with a bad time in my life, so I can't vote for it. I remember liking Tricky quite a bit.

no votes for molko & co! that album's still so much fun. always loved his guitar tone. there's at least five hits on it. they had a different edge to the rest of alt rock at the time.

In 1999, Ned Raggett ranked the album at number 94 on his list of "The Top 136 or So Albums of the Nineties".[28] ;)

voted for both winners, good show ilm

a worthy winner. interesting that pinkerton only got three votes. in the early days of ilm there were loads of weezer fans who preferred pinkerton to the s/t. i never understood why. apparently time has separated the wheat from the chaff.
