Love the list. And I was super bummed that Different Class wasn't a '96 release. Almost picked it as my album.

Yeah, that's a great playlist.

Oh man it was close till this morning. Then a runaway.

I admit my taste is not for everyone. Hope there's more discussion on future matchups, I kinda like getting everyone's thoughts behind their votes

This one looks super close at first glance.



And you picked second in the draft I assume?

I actually picked 1st and it might be more clear why I was asking about Spotify vs wiki release year when mine goes up.

Updated: Green means mix has been submitted, blue is the live matchup.

Okay, I'm back after a week off the grid. A few thoughts/questions ...

1. Somehow I got a bye to the second round, so I assume I can still submit a list?

2. What are you folks using to find out what albums came out in a particular month? Are you using Spotify for that, or something like google, and then using Spotify for the playlist?

3. It figures that I picked a year when I was away in law school and didn't listen to any new music. So this will be a challenge.

4. When you folks talk about how you still buy music from artists you like, how are you buying them? CDs? Paid downloads from a band's website?

5. Talk about truth in advertising - this is a *really* dumb way to pass time. I love it.

I believe we're using Spotify dates for album releases, and it's year, not month, that you need to be concerned about. If you don't have Spotify, can't make a playlist, Rass will do it for you. I buy vinyl every now and then, but generally use Spotify for day to day listening. Yes, it's gloriously dumb.

I did a few Googles around "best albums of 1998" and read multiple lists. Then I used that to find good, representative songs from Spotify from those albums (the ones I actually knew).

Yeah, I get/got most of my new music from KEXP so I did a lot of work tracking down their top albums of 2007 (which is no longer on the site) plus Pitchfork plus my iTunes library.

I did a few Googles around "best albums of 1998" and read multiple lists. Then I used that to find good, representative songs from Spotify from those albums (the ones I actually knew).
I went down the wiki list of every album released that year per that list, picked about 25/30 that I liked from bands I liked and then pared it down from there. I had a great 16 song playlist that eventually became my list of 7.

I buy music on vinyl and stream on youtube/spotify/amazonmusic.

I'm a sucker for a riff. And also Billy Joel.

I also think every movie should start with Stayin Alive regardless of plot relevance.

Yup, didn't recognize the title, but know the song. And I missed Criminal in there too! Sorry, Chedda. I'll give your list a listen too, but you've got a tough matchup!

Really even match for me, between Rush and DiS. The era I first really got into music vs. what was big for me in high school. Slight nod to DiS.

I think Rush has my top two songs of the 14, but then DIS has the next 6 at least. Although I am re-listening to both just to confirm.

Yet another dumb question from the old guy - are the playlists linked anywhere? Or do I need to scroll back through the threads to find the competitors' lists?
