Albums of the Year - ????

I figured it might be fun to do the albums of the year thing for years other than the current! Let's see if I'm right...

I say we start with... 1997!

1: Radiohead - OK Computer


2: King Crimson - Epitaph


3: Blur - Blur


4: Madonna - Ray of Light


5: Portishead - Portishead


6: Prodigy - The Fat of the Land
7: Death in Vegas - Dead Elvis
8: Sigur Ros - Von
9: Mew - A Triumph for Man
10: Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole

This could be too much hassle rather than fun for some people I guess... but I'm a sucker for lists.

2001

No way I could pick between the top three, so there's a three way tie for number 1.

1=. The Strokes - Is This It

1=. I Am Kloot - Natural History

1=. Elbow - Asleep In The Back

4. Jay Z - The Blueprint

5. The White Stripes - White Blood Cells

6. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
7. Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me
8. Ryan Adams - Gold
9. The Moldy Peaches - The Moldy Peaches
10. Basement Jaxx - Rooty

Bleed American... I hear that. What a surprisingly brilliant record!

Ok time for something much much earlier. 1973! What a great year for music...

1: Genesis - Selling England by the Pound


2: King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic


3: Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans


4: Lou Reed - Berlin


5: Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon


6: Genesis - Live
7: Queen - Queen
8: Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
9: Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII
10: Fripp & Eno - (No Pussyfooting)
