You've got yer LP5s and yer MHTRTCs but of course Soup is the connoisseur's choice of 1998 IDM / ambient techno classic.

I played the hell out of that Mark Lanegan record at the time & havent really thought of it since then, curious to dig it out this week & see if it holds up

I've heard virtually none of these, way off the alt rock train by '98, but Mezzanine.

mezzanine is quite a good choice here and will probably win, i suppose.

Couple of shroomy jam bands look sort out of place on this list.

Even with the many time-honoured classics on this list, my 1998 #1 is still The High Llamas’ Cold and Bouncy (Dots and Loops’ sister album).
