I look up best of lists and I cut it down to 9. Not all of the albums are to my liking but to say that the poll can hardly be called impartial is nonsense. The other option was put there so people could vote for whatever album they want, you could only say it wasn't imartial if I presented a choice of ten and you had to pick one of those. It should be noted that the only 'Other' album that could have had a chance of winning any of these polls was the Pogues in 1988, and that was proven to be a 1987 album so was discounted, so I think I've gotten it pretty spot on.
The prodigy 'Fat Of The Land' was left out because it wasn't one of the top 9 albums of the year in my opinion, 'Music For The Jilted Generation' probably should have been, but it's worth noting that it wouldn't have come close to winning that year anyway so it's not a major tragedy

Voted for daft punk earlier but completely forgot Jurrasic 5 first album was released in 97. One of my fav hip hop groups ever and this imo is prob the best hip hop song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZmQIGLNxBs

Good choice but I think Quality Control and Power In Numbers are better albums.

metallicas reload album for me in 1997.
I agree but rate the first album as it was like a breath of fresh air at a time when gangsta rap was in its prime.

Close between Radiator and OK but went for the former.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Another one bubbling under, Foo Fighters, Colour and The Shape...
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
Some of the tunes on Urban Hymns sound a bit dated,I've gone for In It For The Money - cracking album. OK computer is a stunning album aswell.
Looking like a tie on OK Computer and Urban Hymns. If I hadnt had voted Chems, OK Computer would have been voted for. Does that count?
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
ok computer just ahead of Brighten The Corners from Pavement - classic album, great band.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
'98 anyone? Not the best of years but have a few runners....
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
I'll have it up later on, videos for the choices won't be up til tomorrow however (work restrictions)
If it ends in a draw, I think we should have a vote off between the top two only.
I'll be voting for anyone but the verve

When does the poll close? I still can't make my mind up!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Au contraire, 1998 was a particularly good year, there are at least a half dozen genuine contenders for my album of the decade off the top of my head - Air: Moon Safari being the front runner, Mercury Rev: Deserter's Songs, Massive Attack: Mezzanine, Eels: Electro-Shock Blues, ADF's Rafi's Revenge, TGU's Rejoice, Rejoice.
And that's before you get to what will no doubt be the more popular choices like Smashing Pumpkins, Belle & Sebastian and Pulp.
more bass
It's telling me the poll is closed already.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
A few good albums but my favourite of that year (Pearl Jam Yield) not there. biased poll- all Uk bands
Long Live King Kenny
Poll ended this morning, there's a 7 day limit on all the polls before they close so we can nail down a winner. I'll get the '98 poll up in a few minutes
*Listens for the sound of Jebus' hand slapping his forehead*
It doesn't matter which albums are *chosen* on the poll, as the Other option allows you to vote for whatever album you like.
I won't even bother pointing out the non-UK bands on the list.
EDIT: In response to jinxy.
