#839 Finley Quaye – Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye is an unknown to me. I think his main success was in England. HIs debut album Maverick A Strike was released in 1997. His biography on Wikipedia is not very detailed. He seems to get into a lot of trouble. Firstly, I am not a big fan of reggae music. Secondly, Quaye vocals […]

#838 Radiohead – OK Computer

Radiohead did the same thing as Blur in 1997. Both bands moved away from Britpop. Radiohead became more alternative and more art rock. OK Computer their third album was when I paid more attention to them. My favourite songs are “Let Down”, “Karma Police“, “Climbing Up the Walls”, “No Surprises”, “The Tourist”, and “Lucky”. I […]

#837 Blur – Blur

Finally, a band that I am more familiar with and I know I like. We have entered 1997. The year of Blur‘s eponymous fifth album. This was turn to the band that I would come to like a lot. Blur reminds me of my best friend Tamás Pál. He was a big fan of the […]

#836 The Charlatans – Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans‘ Tellin’ Stories is their fifth album and final one with founding band member and keyboard player Rob Collins. I know I have heard of them, but I cannot place any songs that I know well by them. The album is not on Spotify, which is really irritating and retarded. I was able to […]

#835 Belle and Sebastian – If You’re Feeling Sinister

Indie Scottish band Belle and Sebastian made the list with their first album and their second one If You’re Feeling Sinister. I am surprised that The Boy with the Arab Strap is not on this list. It was the first time I had heard of them. I do not find this album as engaging as […]

#834 Ash – 1977

I had no idea that the Northern Irish band Ash started in 1989. My knowledge of their existence came in the 2000s. I am curious how they sounded in 1996 compared to today. I am sure they have changed a lot. 1977 is their first official album. The album’s title 1977 is the year of […]

#833 Fugees – The Score

I remember the name of 90s hip hop artists Fugees. I also remember they had a hit song, but I do not remember which one. The Score is their second album and final album. The successful trio broke up. The members of the group were Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel. Jean and Hill […]

#832 Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar

If there was ever an artist that I have never wanted to hear, it was Marilyn Manson. Antichrist Superstar was the second studio album from the band. It was produced by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nail, Dave Ogilvie from Skinny Puppy and a couple other people. Both of those are bands that I listened […]

#831 The Cardigans – First Band On The Moon

I am not enjoying the 1996 that much. Another band that I do not know is The Cardigans. Their third album First Band On The Moon was the breakthrough into mainstream. It was the Swedish bands best-selling album in the USA. I thought I would like this album more than I did. I could not […]

#830 The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Now I Got Worry

I am worried that I will hate Now I Got Worry from The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The second I put it on I heard obnoxious screaming. I have never heard their music. I am sure I had some friends that like it, but somehow I was able to avoid it. I did not like […]
