    Jeff Buckley- Great call. RIP.

    Yeah I remember a really embarrassing incident with that record. I bought it at the airport just before I was off on a family holiday to Florida, I was listening to it on my discman in the departure lounge, and when it got to the "and all the tears we cried" part of Everybody Here Wants You, I promptly burst into tears! For some reason it really hit a nerve. I got a lot of strange looks!

    Pearl Jam - Yield
    REM - Up
    DMB - Before The Crowded Streets
    Jerry Cantrell - Boggy Depot
    Garbage - Version 2.0

    This would be my 5 favorite with from '98 with Yield and Up by far my favorite two. I played the hell out of those two CD's. 1998 could be split up like this for me:

    Late Jan. - June = Heavy on Yield

    June through Sept.(Summer) DMB, Cantrell, & Garbage

    Sept. = Back to Heavy on Yield

    Oct. through Dec = Heavy on Up + a lot of PJ LoTL
    I am the artist formally known as "Cameron4President"....
