My choice for 1998 is a track by a band whose music was all over the airwaves here in London that year.
I Think I’m Paranoid is Garbage at their best. From their second album Version 2.0, which debuted at number one in the UK. The track itself reached the top ten on the UK singles chart.
They are one of the few bands fronted by a female that I like, as I have always preferred male singers, but there are a few exceptions, and Shirley Manson is one of them for she is one of the few females I can identify with.
A bit of well-known trivia: Drummer Butch Vig produced Nirvana’s Nevermind.
Alannah Murphy is a former rock musician turned writer, currently working on a rock'n'roll novel set in London. 
Hey! Where’s my Friday Fix of “Miami Vice”?
I needed a break from blogging. Lizzy will be back this Friday
Another good choice! I had them on cassette as well (their first album) and used to listen to it a lot when I wrote
I bought them in CD form, though I do believe, that I used to have one of their casettes as well
Uh yeah!!! Garbage, really like them though that have fallen through the cracks of time with me a bit. I even liked their song for Bond in those days (The World is Not Enough). Great choice, as always
I’m curious to hear their upcoming album, which is their first in a long time. Yep, I agree on their Bond song, it was pretty good as well. Glad you enjoyed the song
I like this sound! In parts it reminds me of Shakespear’s Sister (at the beginning anyway!) Thanks for posting it, Alannah!
You’re welcome Tom, glad you liked it. (I cannot help but snicker at the mention of Shakespear’s Sister for I think of the French & Saunders ‘Stay’ parody…)
I’ve just watched their version of “Destiny” on You Tube, Alannah, and loved it! Very funny! I’ve had to include it in my ‘Feel Good!’ video page on my blog.
It’s brilliant, isn’t it, always makes me smile
Had to go to youtube to see it (this link doesn’t work in the States). I’ve never herd of this band before, but I quite liked it. Thanks for another eye-opener!
Ah bugger, figures the link doesn’t work, but thank you for taking the time to check them out. 3 Americans and 1 Scot girl, a great band, they may be better known here…
