This year was a weird-ish time for me - first year and start of second year at university, turning 20, I'd nailed my colours to the 'indie' mast a bit but was increasingly unhappy with the actual music, at the same time nothing else seemed to be very inspiring. The BIG THING this year was Select's "YANKS GO HOME" cover and issue - Blur, Pulp, Denim, the Auteurs, Saint Etienne - I went for this stuff 100% and was fully behind the idea of a new wave of self-consciously British modernist pop (what we actually got was rather different).

My favourite American stuff at this point was all at the slightly artier, non-grungy end: post-Pixies albums, and Pavement. I didn't 'get' G-Funk until next year, and in general felt pretty disconnected from pop (the quite un-pop world of university was taking up most of my emotional energy).

Was the YEASTIE GIRLS this year? Surely it was! And how can it not have appeared on the Pazz and Jop poll? (Aside from 'being rubbish').

You know what the sad thing is? I still have this issue. I was very pro-this sort of music except for the Blur.
