Sep 1, 07 - 9:31 AM 		Forum poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1998

This is the ninth part of the best albums and songs of the 1990s poll, which is described here.

You are welcome to list and discuss your favorite albums and/or songs of 1998 in this thread. List(s) need to be posted before the end of September to be included in the calculation of the combined top 10 albums and top 10 songs of 1998. You can include both albums and songs listed at Acclaimed Music and your personal favourites.

Songs are sometimes released a year before it appears on an album and the release date can differ between countries. Please have a look at the 1998 album and song lists before voting, as album and song listed under 1998 at Acclaimed Music will only be counted in the forum poll if they are included in this month's ballots.

Please include at least 5 albums/songs. The scoring system is as follows for both albums and songs.

1. 50
2. 40
3. 35
4. 30
5. 25
6. 20
7. 18
8. 16
9. 14
10. 12
11. 10
12. 9
13. 8

Whoops, just realized that Garbage got in there twice on mine. I type out all the albums and cut and paste so I must not have deleted it. You can replace that with Talib Kweli/Mos Def- Black Star or just disregard it. Sorry!

Heck, I might as well give Bob Mould some points.

Could you add Bob Mould's Last Dog and Pony Show to the end of my list.

I also really like the song from that album First Drag of the Day, but I can be happy with it at my #21 without getting any points.

Sep 9th, 2007 - 8:20 PM 		My favorite Spanish song of 1998: Los Planetas' "Segundo premio"

Los Planetas (“The Planets”) are the most important band coming from the 90s Spanish indie-rock scene. But while legions of bands sang in English and showed strong influences of Pixies, Sonic Youth or My Bloody Valentine in an often too obvious way, Los Planetas were a band with a more personal approach, with a sound of its own. A simple but effective sound based on a densely intertwined wall of guitars of Florent and J. (Television-style) on the front and the dreamy vocals of J. buried in the mix. The change of members in the band rhythm section in 1998 added an extra power to the overall sound, with the Scottish bass player Kieran Stephen and the terrific drummer Erik Jiménez (coming from Lagartija Nick and having shown his mastery in Enrique Morente’s masterpiece “Omega”).
After two previous successful albums (in Spanish indie standards) Los Planetas affronted ambitiously his third album, “Una semana en el motor de un autobús” (“A Week in the Motor of a Bus”), recording it at NYC (Zabriskie Point) with Kurt Ralske (Ultra Vivid Scene) on production. The album relied in a loose concept about a boy that immerses himself in a week of chemical excesses after a loving disappointment, realizing that the solution in inside him. The story worked quiet well but the individual songs also worked wonderfully without the story behind, reflecting quite imaginatively the drug effects (cocaine in “Cumpleaños total” “Total Birthday” or hallucinogens in “Toxicosmos”).
I’ve selected the album opener, “Segundo Premio” (“Second Prize”), Los Planetas speciality of the house, raw songs of hate à la “Idiot Wind”. This brilliant song is build around a powerful drum beat, the usual wall of guitars and an imaginative string arrangement, emerging from the noisy backing an angry vocal deliverance by J.
Joan Pons for Rockdelux: “J. turns difficult into easy: he finds the simplest way to explain the most complicated emotions. It’s almost impossible not to reflect yourself in lyrics that appeals directly to the feelings of a twenty-something generation that accumulates records, nightly experiences and loving misfortunes. A whole that makes this album an extraordinary assay about the abstinence, about the withdrawal symptoms: the anxiety of living without a lover, of living without drugs. Of living, summarizing, without the strong sensations that got lost after the adolescence”.


SEGUNDO PREMIO
Composer: J.
Performers: LOS PLANETAS
First release: 1998 (“Una semana en el motor de un autobús” album)
Length: 5’31”


Sentado esperando a que llames
rezando por que des una señal,
los días cada vez van más despacio
y solamente puedo esperar
que vengas a explicar que todo ha terminado,
que tengas que decir que no me quieres ver,
es imposible que hayas olvidado
lo que los dos podíamos hacer.

Y si esto que ha pasado
va a pasarnos otra vez,
y si todo ha sido en vano
no tienes que volver.

Mirando las paredes de este cuarto,
rezando por que vengas otra vez,
y todo lo que habíamos hablado
es todo lo que vamos a perder.
Si nunca quise ser el único a tu lado,
si tuve miedo fue por que acabara así.
Y todo el tiempo que he desperdiciado
se vuelve de nuevo contra mí.

Y si esto te hace daño,
si te puedo hacer sufrir
ha servido para algo
al menos para mí.


SECOND PRIZE

Sitting, waiting for your call
praying for a sign from you,
days are getting slower
and the only thing I can do is waiting
for you to say that it’s all over
to say that you don’t want to see me anymore,
it’s impossible that you’ve forgotten
the things we could do together.

And if all the things that happened
are about to happen again,
and if all has been in vain
you don’t have to come back.

Looking at the walls of this room,
praying for your comeback,
and all the things we talked about
are the things we’re going to lose.
If I never wanted to be the only one by your side,
if I was afraid it was for ending like that.
And all the time I wasted
comes back against me.

And if this can hurt you,
if I can make you suffer,
this has been useful for something
at least for me.

Muchas gracias Honorio for these translations !
Great idea !

Henrik, I'd like to ask you : why not going on after november with our favorite albums of the 2000's (and why not, after 2007, going back to the sixties, let's say 1965 ?)

P.S.:

Slight oversight; I'd like to substitute Gomez's "Get Miles" for the similarly titled "Get Myself Arrested", if possible. Not that I suppose it'll make any difference, being as I'm the only one to nominate either song.

...and here are the albums and songs from 1998 that will be included in the best of the 90s poll in November:

Albums
1. Massive Attack - Mezzanine
2. Air - Moon Safari
3. Elliott Smith - XO
4. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Under the Sea
5. Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
6. Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
7. Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of...
8. Pulp - This Is Hardcore
9. Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
10. Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

Songs
1. Pulp - This Is Hardcore
2. Massive Attack - Teardrop
3. Elliott Smith - Waltz #2
4. Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You
5. New Radicals - You Get What You Give
6. Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)
7. Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
8. Beck - Nobody's Fault But My Own
9. Mercury Rev - Goddess on a Highway
10. Air - Sexy Boy

For the first time, an AM no. 1 song didn't make the top 10. Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank" reached place 13, only 7 points behind "Sexy Boy". In addition, "Praise You" was no. 12, only 2 points outside the top 10, so Norman Cook had no luck at all.

The big surprise to me in this round is that #3 ranking for Elliot Smith. I'm really please to see so many people know and like that album as much as I do. It was certainly a well-reviewed and generally admired album at the time, but I never would have guessed it was going to be rated so highly here. I guess it's what you'd call a sleeper record.
