Is this really your favourite from the album? I think it's the 2nd weakest song, it's quite atmospheric but drags too long!

Blame my current ambient/drone phase I am going through. Plus I already used Accelerator and Swastika Eyes (which are also favourites)

After youtubing some of the "2000" Doves and PJ Harvey, I think I reached a conclusion...

I want to fuck PJ Harvey... Also, I'm voting 2000. Sorry Jherek.

edit: although, on the other hand... I'm listening to Keep it Like a Secret right now, and it may be my favourite Built to Spill album (of those I heard). Great stuff.

the 1999 team is actually good, but we are talking here about Radiohead + Pj Harvey + Primal Scream with The Doves ! the best album of each artist in one single selection! 2000 deserves really to win this match
Go 2000 !

DOVES - Lost Souls: BEA Stats: #23 - 2000; #223 - 2000s; #1000 - Overall
"Do the sums (Mancunian melancholia + woozy psychedelia + sonic whoosh) and you're left with the first great debut album to come from Manchester since 'Definitely Maybe'. Doves may not have any of the attitude, youth or sartorial influence of their forebears but, by God, they make being sad after drugs sound great. " (NME)

RADIOHEAD - Kid A: BEA Stats: #1 - 2000s, 2000; #9 - Overall
"The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior albums clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis." (Pitchfork)

PJ HARVEY - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea: BEA Stats: #5 - 2000; #55 - 2000s; #274 - Overall
"Way more easeful than the tightly wound, dynamically extreme bluesism of the career-launching Dry and Rid of Me, it's also way livelier than 1995's critical triumph To Bring You My Love, where Harvey's desperate carnality took a sharply metaphysical turn, and 1998's rhetorical question, Is This Desire?, the answer to which was, maybe. While her austere sonic signature remains, the vocals are discernibly more relaxed, the tunes welcoming and even expansive." (Rolling Stone)

PRIMAL SCREAM - XTRMNTR: BEA Stats: #18 - 2000; #169 - 2000s; #765 - Overall
"Though it could be argued that the Live in Japan record offers a rawer, more visceral version of this, the sonic impact of the recorded version is equally urgent and gloriously vocodered to death. It iss one of the best indications that Gillespie, Shields and Sumner have a clear understanding of what dance music is and is not, despite being in their late thirties/early forties. They weren't afraid to draw up their own interpretation of the style, and as XTRMNTR shows, they have pulled it off remarkably well." (Sputnik Music)

Another promo video for the 2000 team!

Wow! This is serious. "Kid A" & "XTRMNTR" had already decided it for me, but your video made me go from 99% to 135% sure about my decision. Your video has made me curious to check out the first album and the epic "Accelerator" as your choice for promotion track was really excellent. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! �'�

I vote for 2000.

Two very good teams. But my recent discovery and obsession with Built To Spill mean '99 gets the edge for me.

Both are pretty good teams 😄

99 wins it for me by just a bit (a bit called the Soft Bulletin 😨 ).

Kid A is a bold choice though, I thought that would come later.

Not a big fan of either team, but really got to say I think I would rather go for the 2000 team.

1999 for me, Built to Spill, The Roots and the Lips are all as good as, if not better, than Kid A fore me. And those '99 singles are superb.

Also, if Supreme Clientele doesn't get used in a 2000 team it'll be a travesty.
