Man, looking at that list... 1997 was an awful, terrible year for music.

Granted at the time, I was ten and had never of any of this, but I love them now.

Lonesome Crowded West is great, was the beginning of some good albums by a great band!

Wow... I skipped over the sophomore effort from Swedish rockers, The Hellacopters - Payin' the Dues

The year music started to turn. The indie rock stuff, mainstream wise, was deadening fast.

Allmusic has it released in 1998, same as wikipedia. I see no source that says it came out in 1997. What's the source for 1997?

Looking back though... this is when more metal was popular... at least in the mainstream.
Nu metal went and blew up for a period 98-00.

Indie had already retreated back to the underground. Pavement, Archers, and Superchunk lead the way. Modest Mouse, the Elephant 6 collective, and Sleater-Kinney followed right there. I think by 1997, indie bands had almost completely foresaken the mainstream. Just as quickly as they had taken it over. It was really a brief period of alt-rock supremacy. Probably about 5 years at most.

The next year, 1998 would bring us Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.... As great as it was/is it brought on many imitators and the pussyfication of indie rock... IMO, of course

Next to Ok Computer, this was my favorite album of that year:

shite, I was thinking of the EP collection and demo collection. I was certain it was released in late 1997, but in the states 1998.
Oh well. Still one of my favorite albums ever.

Got to see these guys live in Baton Rouge just a few years ago. Some of the most down to earth guys and very funny. They were an awesome live band!
They had a drummer touring with them that used to play in the punk band monotonix. He was incredible.

Sex and Candy or whatever the title was, was as hot as song as I can remember growing up.
Still gets plenty of play today. I also remember a specific female I dated that loved that album and I bought it as an Xmas gift to her.
ahh the good old days of buying CDs
