I'm excited about this decade's Appetite For Destruction/Marquee Moon/Sgt. Pepper's being released this year.

i can't believe there are people slagging off 97 when there are also people saying 96 was a good year for pop.

I didn't think this at the time, but my fave 1997 release is Spectrum's Forever Alien with Labradford's Mi Media Naranja a close second.

"i can't believe there are people slagging off 97 when there are also people saying 96 was a good year for pop."

I don't know about pop, but '96 was a very solid year for hip hop and it was the last year jungle (hello jump up) really mattered.

1998 >>>>>>>>> 1997

and furthermore you have all forgotten the best album of 1997: RADIATOR

[1996] was the last year jungle (hello jump up) really mattered.

I admit to liking the gentrified cocktail drum'n'bass fusion hoo-ha to a mild extent (though jungle ca. '94 > all), so I'm biased. But uh hey J Majik? Jonny L? Photek? The aforementioned Torque?

― f. scott baio (natepatrin), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Some of that stuff is good, but it feels like it all was consciously trying to distance itself from jungle (hence the name change as well.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Makes sense. Maybe:
1996: last year jungle-qua-jungle mattered
1997: first and probably also last year drum'n'bass'n'1973 Hancock mattered

Let us never forget:

but that probably won't work, so I'll just write it down:

Carl Craig - More Songs About Food And Revolutionary Art

― matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

It's a shame just one person wrote Radiator, easily one of the best releases of the year.
Also: Bis - The New Transistor Heroes

Carl Craig - More Songs About Food And Revolutionary Art

Considering The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich came out in 1996, this is hardly a praise for 1997. (Okay, some of the tracks on that were already years old by then, but there's also superb new tracks like "Paperclip Man".) Or am I the only one who finds MSAFARA sappy and sentimentalist in a bad way?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 12 February 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

...Sinister is the only album that came out in 1997 that came even close to having a real long-lasting effect on my life.

this year i was hoping it'd be neon bible. and i guess it still might be.

― CharlieNo4 (CharlieNo4), Monday, 12 February 2007 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

It's Patrick Wolf.

― Sick Mouthy (sickmouthy), Monday, 12 February 2007 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Still proud of my Radiator shout! I might have to concede second place to Radiohead, mind.

2007's album-for-the-ages will hopefully be The Electric Soft Parade's new record, which, Nick, I need to get in touch with that Stylus dude about at some point...

― Comrades, meet Tildo Durd (Scourage), Monday, 12 February 2007 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

It's Patrick Wolf, dude.

― Sick Mouthy (sickmouthy), Monday, 12 February 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

1997 was also the year of Fat of the Land and the electronica hype. And "Bittersweet Symphony". And "New Paths to Helicon". And Bad Timing. And The Color and the Shape.

It was also the year of "MmmmBop", "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", Pop, and "Mo Money, Mo Problems." So, it wasn't all good news.

2006 was the worst year ever for music, and I bet 2007'll be even worse.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 02:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Cheer the fuck up you miserable bastard.

― Sick Mouthy (sickmouthy), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 07:21 (seventeen years ago) link

"mo money mo problems" is one of the best songs of the century and peoplewho don't knwo atht are either deaf or fetal acohol.

― max (maxreax), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 07:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but Fat of the Land is hardly a merit for 1997.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 07:36 (seventeen years ago) link

"Mmmmbop" is fucking great! "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" is great!

― Sick Mouthy (sickmouthy), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 09:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Declaring the current or most recently passed year the worst in the history of music: C/D

Absolute fucking dud. I had a great time in 2006 with music.

If You're Feeling Sinister was released late '96.

Appetite for Destruction? Dross. ("Appetite" is a such a fey word to have in that title, don't you think?)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 11:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Whatever you think of 'em, a lot of records on that list I barfed out up there hold their own with the best of the decade

What if I think they suck?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link
