GNMD Poll: Top 10 Non-Metal Albums of 1997

[Bloopy]

Ah so ye have got a bit o' the Bloopy curse. I love the stop-start of the opening track. Album drags on a bit at times, but the long final track is a bonus that wasn't on the '97 release so discounted here. I hesitated in adding the CD I have to RYM as I wasn't sure of the year, but I think I've made sense of it now. David's solo project Vaccine was great too, similar but more in the dark ambient vein. Doesn't seem to be online any more though.

It's a gimmicky reason by me but some of the appeal was how unashamedly Kiwi his accent was while singing.

Thanks!

Did you find anything to your taste, TechSlammed? Not that this'll be worth tallying up any time soon...

 

[CiG]

 

[Slammed]

I think I found three albums so, no not even worth a list.

 

[Bloopy]

Hmmm, what have I got here... some Cosmic Psychos and Regurgitator from the Aussies, Aerosmith for the Dad rockers, Spice Girls...

Add this masterpiece and there's your 5, boom, done:

 

[Slammed]

Already had Psychos.
Regurgitator are shit
Can't remember the last Aerosmith album I listened too.
Spice Girls will be on Cig's lit and I don;t want to double up
Pat Boone well it was ok but it's no Psychos.

 

[CiG]

I already posted my list on the first page bitch.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah, but you change your lists more often than you change your underwear

 

[CiG]

No Spice Girls in my list bitch.

 

[Slammed]

yet!

 

[CiG]

I enjoy a couple SG songs, but very few pop groups make enough good songs to make a good album.

Anyway just fucking put John Fogerty in your list like a real bloke and be done with it.

 

[Slammed]

Foggy was already on my list. I even saw the guy live on that tour.

 

[Slammed]

Ok, so I did forget Dannii Mingoue's classic opus of 1997
Also Kreator released Outcast in 1997 and there is no way that shit was metal.
So there's two more.
Maybe I can throw something together even if it contains a few iffy ones, but it wont be tonight.

Sugababes probably had the best run in my books, but I still lost interest after the first 4 albums when they were down to 1 original member.

 

[Slammed]

Ok so I scraped something together.
