You should bookmark this (http://welove1997.blogspot.com/) page, zorra. Every couple of days or so you can travel on back to '97 and relive the "magic". I don't really see the significance of '97, personally, and I was actually kinda thinking the same when I stumbled on this blog a couple of weeks ago, but it was probably just as good as any other year, I guess.

[zorra_chiflada]

no mickill, it was the best year. other folks will agree with me. rancid for example. it was the best year.

[jackrock]

shit, i was 5 in '97... everything happened to me when i was 5... good year

Ah, 1997. When Aussie rock was at its peak and I was playing in bad punk bands, developing a serious alcohol addiction and generally behaving in a disreputable manner.

Magic Dirt, Warped!, Sandpit, Asteroid B612, Crow, Screamfeeder, Sonic Youth, Something for Kate, Sidewinder, The Simpletons And the Lucksmiths were some of the stuff floating my boat then. there's no songs I know, Zorra, you'll have to forgive me for my memory is a little hazy.

But yeah, 93-98 for Aussie rock!!

you're posting exactly what i was thinking about - in 1997, i'd just started listening to jjj, and aussie rock. cool. (y)

[scotty]

That was a pretty fun period of my life. Can't remember much though, except throwing up 3/4 a bottle of cheap vodka onstage at an underage gig my band was playing at. Pretty classy, huh.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Yes. It was the best year. Face it mickill. I cant be bothered reeling off the songs right now, but I assure you its quite a mammoth list.

[paul jones]

1997?

ummm

'Tuesday' by You Am I. I remember watching 'Rage' in Sydney and I went out and bought the CD single next day in a shop in Randwick

[Kid Presentable]

It was definitely a good year for Oz rock.

[M.C. Guevera]

When did Jigga and Foxy do Sunshine? I loved that song.

Don't forget Babyface singing the chorus. They did it in '97 for his album, In My Lifetime...Vol. 1. I remember it because it was the first time I had heard of this Jay-Z cat. I also remember seeing the music video for it on MTV. All those bright colors of the rainbow, Jay-Z in the shiny suit using the fish eye camera lens. Jay-Z HATED that video.

[yeahwho]

So don’t fear us cheer us
If you ever get near us don’t jeer us we’re fearless


Here come the Men in Black!

[b-grrrlie]

I thought 1987 was more a good year for Aussie rock: Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Spiders, Screaming Tribesmen, Celibate Rifles, The Scientists...

Dope Song. No Joke.

[icy manipulator]

Cosmic girl and Barbie Girl have been the best 2 songs i've ever done on kareoke. so 1997 rocked for great poppy music

i must say tho, quite possibly being the biggest jamiroquai fan on this board, Travelling Without Moving came out in 1996, but the cosmic girl single came out in 97 so i guess that's ok.

i'd say i've heard Cosmic Girl more times than any other song ever. Intergalactic comes close tho.

I must've died and gone to heaven, 'cause it was quarter past eleven...

I loved Jamiroquai.

And Aqua.

1997 was my favorite year for music most def.

[GetYourWarOn]

block rockin beats biiitch

[saz]

although there were some great, stand out tracks from '97, it was predominantly the year of the onslaught of crummy jump-up. all those great build ups with the hip-hop samples, then the tunes would descend into complete uninspired mediocrity. it took over dnb and it was either jump-up you heard everywhere, or dark tunes. things wouldn't begin to diversify, with an influx of differing genres, until late '98 (ie dillinja's bambatta remix) or '99.
