It was the year Napster broke into the music industry and changed it forever. Why? Because the record labels were forcing crap like Britney, Nsync, and Backstreet Boys upon the masses. Music fans wanted more...they wanted better...and they fought to find it.

Good call on Midnite Vultures for no 1. I'm not sure if it would be my no 1 cos I'd have to go through my record collection and check everything else that came out in 1999, but nevertheless that record deserves respect and is still my favourite Beck album.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a fan of Things Fall Apart and (newly) Summerteeth.
I loved that Travis album. Great list.
