2. David Gray: White Ladder
 |
This album
would take a couple of years to become the most successful combination of
singer-songwriter and pop in years. It has an impressive freshness and simplicity - and of
course fucking brilliant songs!

3. Pet Shop Boys: Nightlife
 |
A very strong
millenium album from the best pop duo around. Pet Shop Boys have re-invented themselves
and sound as fresh as ever. About Pet Shop Boys |
4. Suede: Head Music
 |
Yet another
fine album from Suede. However, it's still a step back compared to what they've done
before. About
Suede |
5. Everything But The Girl:
Temperamental
 |
The era
started with the remix of "Missing" continues with a great dance album from one
of the masters in the field. Dance and great atmosphere in a delicious cocktail. |
6. Fiona Apple: When The Pawn
 |
Second album from Fiona
Apple is just as strong as the debut. For those who want pop music with personality and a
twist of darkness... About Fiona Apple |
7. Robbie Williams: I've
Been Expecting You
 |
One of the
best entertainers around these days. Here's one who hasn't forgotten what pop music is all
about. Pure fun while distancing everybody else at the same time... |
8. Kent: Hagnesta Hill
 |
Swedish band Kent are
mastering the British rock even better than many of the British bands. And they possess an
extra quality lacking with many of the Brits: good songs! About Kent |
9. Live: The Distance To Here
 |
Even though the album is
not as strong as the two previous Live releases, it's still yet another proof of Live's
remarkable rock skills. About Live |
10. Madder Rose: Hello June Fool
 |
Best album so far from
New York based Madder Rose. A more mature sound that really suits the band - sort of
10,000 Maniacs with an edge. |
