The husband of a friend of mine here at work is peripherally involved in the music scene. He sent out a message to all his music junkie friends to ask for their Best of '99 lists... he rolled them all up into one list & my friend forwarded it on to a few of us. I immediately thought: "Hey! I know a whole slew of folks who may be interested in this!" I know I'm always looking for suggestions for new music to buy... and here is a big ol' list of "stuff to buy"! Of course, some of you may NOT be interested, in which case: PREPARE TO SCROLL! :) Here's the eclectic list... I think you'll recognize some bands! :) (No Sinforosa yet -- but maybe '00 is their year!) ************************************************ First, thanks to all of you for participating. You know who you are because you're receiving this. There were 251 different tiles on 37 lists. Amazingly eclectic. I chose to show all titles that received 2 or more votes. They're listed by # of votes received and then in alphabetical order. I could have left off the 2's, but they highlight the diversity of taste represented in the various lists. There was no ballot box stuffing, in spite of the way things look! 8 Kelly Willis - "What I Deserve" 6 Beck - "Midnight Vultures" 6 Los Lobos - "This Time" 6 Moby - "Play" 5 Steve Earle/ Del McCoury - "The Mountain" 5 Tom Waits - "Mule Variations" 4 Beth Orton - "Central Reservation" 4 Fountains of Wayne - "Utopia Highway" 4 Guided By Voices - "Do the Collapse" 4 Julie Miller - "Broken Things" 4 V/A - "Return Of The Grievous Angel" 4 Richard Thompson - "Mock Tudor" 4 Seks Bomba - "Operation B.O.M.B.A." 4 Wilco - "Summerteeth" 3 David Bowie - "Hours" 3 Donnas - "Get Skintight" 3 Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt - "Western Wall - Tucson Sessions" 3 Flaming Lips - "The Soft Bulletin" 3 Handsome Boy Modeling School - "How's Your Girl" 3 Jason Faulkner - "Can You Still Feel?" 3 Marshall Crenshaw - "#447" 3 Matthew Sweet - "In Reverse" 3 Owsley - "Owsley" 3 Pavement - "Terror Twilight" 3 Rage Against the Machine - "Battle of Los Angeles" 3 Sparklehorse - "Good Morning Spider" 3 XTC - "Apple Venus Volume One" 2 Allison Krauss - "Forget About It" 2 AstroSlut - "Love at Zero G" 2 Basement Jaxx - "Remedy" 2 Beulah - "When Your Heartstrings Break" 2 Blur - "13" 2 Buddy Miller - "Cruel Moon" 2 Built to Spill - "Keep it Like a Secret" 2 Chris Cornell - "Euphoria Morning" 2 Cotton Mather - "Kontiki" 2 Dan Penn/Spooner Oldham - "Moments From This Theatre" 2 Derailers - "Full Western Dress" 2 Dusty Springfield - "Dusty in Memphis" 2 Everything But The Girl - "Tempermantal" 2 Fiona Apple - "When the Pawn..." 2 Garmana - "Vengeance" 2 Gigolo Aunts - "Minor Chords and Major Themes " 2 Gomez - "Liquid Skin" 2 Johnny Cash - "Live at Folsom Prison" 2 Jon Dee Graham - "Summerland" 2 Kelly Joe Phelps - "Shine Eyed Mister Zen" 2 leftover salmon - "the nashville sessions" 2 Paul McCartney - "Run Devil Run " 2 Pretenders - "Viva El Amor" 2 Randy Newman - "Bad Love" 2 Robbie Fulks - "VBO" 2 Sebadoh - "The Sebodoh" 2 Zap Mama - "A Ma Zone" ************************************************ Personally I can vouch for Beck, Fiona Apple, Gigolo Aunts, Sebadoh, Gomez, Robbie Fulks, Built to Spill & Beth Orton.
