Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1998 Part One

/Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels To Be Something On/

Oh this would get my write-in vote, one of my favourite records of all time.

mike only wants to do one poll for 99 so be prepared for a lot of your faves missing

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

not really expecting Musick to Play in the Dark Vol 1 will be included for 99, but just want to say it's amazing

there's only going to be one poll so there's not going to be a lot of things not in it since ilm prefers to vote for the best known albums so more niche stuff gets booted

another vote for 'please include Coil'

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Finally got round to putting a 1998 top ten together and, well, this explains how bewildered I was at both of your lists - i guess I had a very different year (although I didn't hear my current #1 until a couple of years later): 1. Club 8 - The Friend I Once Had, 2. Bran Van 3000 - Glee, 3. Belle and Sebastian, 4. Delgados - Peloton, 5. Saint Etienne - Sound of Water, 6. Board of Canada, 7. Massive Attack, 8. Black Box Recorder, 9. Madonna, 10. His Name is Alive - Ft. Lake. Air, Cardigans, Beastie Boys bubbling under.

I should probably give that Cat Power a listen.

My list, if it matters.

I like your write-up, Alfred, agree about Thousand Leaves being one of "the strangest and most leisurely of Sonic Youth albums"

also really like how this poll came out
