[yertle-the-turtle]

just wondering.

 

[Laura M]

I can't remember 1998.


Really.

 

[Popmartijn]

Do you mean albums that were released in 1998, or that you bought in 1998?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

released in '98

 

[Popmartijn]

Oh, gonna look at that this evening to see which albums were released then.
I can only remember Tracks (by Bruce Springsteen) at the moment, but there have to be more.

i know i've probably bought a few albums that came out in 1998 by now, but i'm sure i didn't buy them until atleast 1999.

[Popmartijn]

[u2popmofo]

I forgot this one:

Smashing Pumpkins - 'Adore'

(this album made me like SP)

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of... (the interludes are horrible, but the songs are great)

Oh yeah! I love this album, but the interludes are obnoxious...

 

[Danospano]

"Music from the Motion Picture: "Titanic""

 

[Popmartijn]

Oh yeah! I love this album, but the interludes are obnoxious...

Yeah, and the worst thing is that those interludes aren't separate tracks, but are tacked to the end of songs. So you cannot program your CD-player to skip them.

BTW, I forgot to add Robbie Robertson - Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy

C ya!

nothing like some PJ and U2 AND Depeche Mode to spice up yer 1998 life
great year for music

 

[U2Kitten]

I can't think of anything (other than best of) that came out that year I ever bought. 1999 either. The late 90's were IMO the worst era for rock since the very early 60's. It's a bit better now, but I'm still waiting for the next big thing to finally blow the rock rap and teen pop into history.

From the Choirgirl Hotel - Tori Amos
Is This Desire? - PJ Harvey
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams
Before These Crowded Streets - DMB
Ray of Light - Madonna

[Jack In The Box]

The Way- Fastball

great album, great band

 

[Tabby]

Thanks Jack! But I think I messed up, the single was The Way, the album was I believe called All The Pain Money Can Buy. Either way, I liked it!
