Underworld - Beaucoup Fish
In all honesty I believe that this years list contains more quality than 1994 by a long way.
The Streets, Joss Stone, Franz Ferdinand, Basment Jaxx, The Zutons, (gulp) Belle and Sebastian, Jamelia excite me more than the likes of M People, Take That, Michael Nyman, Therapy, Shara Nelson (not as a solo artist deary) and Ian McNabb.
The 1999 crop is a decent line up aside from the bastard Stereophonics.
ps How did Music For the Jilted Generation not win the award?? f***ing M People??
