Best Music Albums - Year By
Year: 1998

1. The Smashing Pumpkins: Adore
 |
Best
album so far from the Pumpkins. The more mature sound fits right into my musical
universe...

2. Garbage: Version 2.0
 |
Their debut
was brilliant and this one is possibly even better. Their way of mixing rock guitars and
samplers is unique and an influence to many...

3. Air: Moon Safari
 |
Ambient electronica with an
impressive combination of instrumental moods and soft pop music. More info |
4. The Watchmen: Silent Radar
 |
Traditional
rock done with so much class that you regain some of the hope and optimism when it comes
to the future of rock. More info... |
5. Madonna: Ray Of Light
 |
Brilliant
re-invention of a career that was already outstanding. Like good wine, Madonna just keeps
getting better. |
6. Better Than Ezra: How Does Your Garden Grow?
7. R.E.M.: Up
 |
R.E.M. how I
like them: laid back, quiet and substantial. An album you'll never grow tired of.

8. Lenny Kravitz: 5
 |
Just when the Lenny
Kravitz formula seemed a bit worn and used, he goes releasing an album filled with
material so strong that we'll have to keep the faith a little bit longer... |
9. Transister: Transister
 |
This album landed in my
collection sort of by chance. It takes the best from Garbage and Mono and mixes it into a
very fine debut album. This band should have more attention! |
10. Sheryl Crow: The Globe
Sessions
 |
A good album - but her
third best. She can still turn out great songs, but I miss the edge of her second album - an edge that makes her stand out.
