Forum poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1999
This is the 10th 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 1999 in this thread. List(s) need to be posted before the end of October to be included in the calculation of the combined top 10 albums and top 10 songs of 1999. 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 1999 album and song lists before voting, as albums and songs listed under 1999 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 14. 7 15. 6 16. 5 17. 4 18. 3 19. 2 20. 1 |

Weird, I've always thought we were only allowed to include songs and albums that were on AM.. not sure why. Can I remake all my lists?  Ignore this list anyway, I'll have to make a new one. |

Re: Forum poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1999
Agree with you, Nicolas. We must continue with the polls. But, why not wait for the 00s until the decade is finished? We can do the 80s during 2008, the 70s during 2009 and then the 00s during 2010 (if we are still alive...). Just an opinion. |

My favorite Spanish song of 1999: Andrés Calamaro's "No son horas"
Confessional albums are a thorny affair. Quoting Eduardo Guillot for Rockdelux: “Giving yourself in the desperate and spontaneous way that he gives himself in this record is similar to selling your body or killing someone: it could seem easy but not everyone can do it”. The Spanish-Argentinean singer-songwriter Andrés Calamaro travelled a long way till the release of his masterpiece “Honestidad brutal” (“Brutal Honesty”) in 1999, 37 songs recorded when the singer was 37-years old. Calamaro began his career twenty years before, achieving his first success in 1981 as part of the pioneer Argentinean rock band Los Abuelos de la Nada. After three albums with the band and four solo albums, he left Argentina in the middle of the inflationist hell of the early 90s to start from scratch in Spain. He formed a band, Los Rodríguez, with ex-members of Tequila (a successful Spanish-Argentinean band), publishing 5 albums during the 90s to notable critical and public acclaim. After the disbanding of Los Rodríguez, Calamaro started again his solo career with the succesful “Alta suciedad” (“High Dirtiness”, 1997), but nobody was prepared for his 1999 double album. An album recorded between Madrid, Buenos Aires and New York during almost a long year and deeply marked by a painful breaking of a relationship. It’s an album full of excesses (just like The Magnetic Fields “69 Love Songs”, my other favourite album of that year). Of chemical and sentimental excess (numerous references to drugs and lost love filled the album), of musical and creativity excess (this time the 140 minutes length is justified, with almost no weak songs and nice stylish variety) and, of course, of honesty excess. I’ve selected “No son horas” (“It’s No Time”), a song of disturbing beauty, with a ¾ rhythm rooted in South-American folk and a melody with some debts to traditional Argentinean song “Alfonsina y el mar” (later covered by Calamaro). Conveniently placed in the latter third of the album, it’s a song about the hope of recovery after the fall: “Don’t you feel sorry for me more than a second / cause I’m going to get up”. Some quotes now. Juan Cervera for Rockdelux: “It’s an album with and about friends, cities, football, women, cocaine and love. A love that spreads on every note of the album.” Iván Adaime for AMG: “The album contains 37 songs selected from more of a thousand recorded during this period – a result of the split-up with his Spanish girlfriend, sleepless nights and plane travels. Most of the songs are about regret and lost-love panic”. And Andrés Calamaro itself: “To me it’s violent, even cruel, to listen an album like that one. So I don’t listen to it at all. There are some songs on it that I don’t even want to think about. I was probably crazy when I decided to release that album. I could have spared this to me. Next time I don’t want to be the main protagonist of my record”. Sadly. The next works of Calamaro didn’t come even close to this masterpiece, one of the best five Spanish albums ever in my opinion. NO SON HORAS Composer and performer: ANDRÉS CALAMARO First release: 1999 (“Honestidad brutal” double album) Length: 4’13” Si te dicen que caí, y es verdad, y es verdad, no sientas ni un segundo más de lástima por mí que me voy a levantar. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Si te dicen que duermo de día, es verdad, y es verdad, no te olvides que soy grande porque tengo multitudes que me esperan afuera. Y si te faltó ternura, o la vida te hizo dura, quiero que me perdones. No tengo los pies en la tierra, me perdí la realidad, me olvidé de los amigos, me olvidé de los demás, reconozco haber perdido sintonía alguna vez pero no te dejé de querer. Sigo siendo un varón tierno que quiere seguir de pie, pero te espero. No son horas de reírse, no son horas de olvidar, hiciste lo que quisiste, de verdad, no sientas ni un segundo más de lástima por mí que me voy a levantar. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Te dicen que duermo de día, y es verdad, y es verdad, no te olvides que soy grande porque tengo multitudes que me esperan afuera. Y si te faltó ternura, o la vida te hizo dura, quiero que me perdones. No tengo los pies en la tierra, me perdí la realidad, me olvidé de los amigos, me olvidé de los demás, reconozco haber perdido sintonía alguna vez pero no te dejé de querer. Sigo siendo un varón tierno que quiere seguir de pie, pero te espero. No son horas de reírse, no son horas de olvidar, vos, hiciste lo que quisiste, de verdad, no sientas ni un segundo más de lástima por mí que me voy a levantar. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. Y si te falta una imagen quiero que me recuerdes así, con el viento en las velas. IT’S NO TIME If they told you I fell down, and it’s true, and it’s true, don’t feel sorry for me more than a second cause I’m going to get up. And if you need an image please remember me like this, with the wind in the sails. If they told you I sleep at daytime, it’s true, and it’s true, don’t forget that I’m big cause there’s crowds waiting for me outside. And if you missed some tenderness, or life made you tough, I want your forgiveness. I’m not down to earth, I lost reality, I forgot the friends, forgot the others, I admit we’ve been out of tune sometimes but never stopped loving you. I’m still a tender male who wants to stand up but I’ll wait for you. It’s no time for laughing, no time for forgetting, you did what you wanted, really, don’t feel sorry for me more than a second cause I’m going to get up. And if you need an image please remember me like this, with the wind in the sails. And if you need an image please remember me like this, with the wind in the sails.

Re: Forum poll: The Best Albums and Songs of 1999
I've found ordering this list harder than most other years. Also, there are some 1999 albums I for whatever reason have never gotten around to that might rank highly if I had. For example, I've still not heard either of Brad Mehldau's 1999 albums, but given that he's recorded some of my favorite music, there's a good chance that they would bump a few of the following down a notch or two. Oh well, since only Nicolas has included Brad Mehldau in his list, my mentioning him or not wouldn't put him anywhere near the top 10, anyway. 1) Shelby Lynne - I Am Shelby Lynne (I think of this as a 2000 album, but I guess it was originally released in Great Britain in 1999, so here it is) 2) Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs 3) Eminem - The Slim Shady LP 4) Pavement - Terror Twilight 5) Randy Newman - Bad Love 6) Diana Krall - When I Look in Your Eyes 7) Mos Def - Black on Both Sides 8) Moby - Play (almost exclusively for the country blues and gospel samples) 9) Sigur Ros - Aga |
