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.

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?

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?

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...

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.
