Whilst 1998 may not have been the best year ever for music, there were still some mighty fine platters released this year. Here, we count down on what we propose were the Singles of 98. Some predictable, some surprising, some contentious: you won't agree with all of them - all we ask you do is read em... So, without further ado, here are numbers 30 - 21: 30 Sexy Boy by Air This Gallic charmer floated into your head like smoke from a Gauloise, and stayed there 29 Hello Tiger by Urusei Yatsura Big and bouncy like Tigger, this typical slice of lofi class from UY was essential listening 28 Let's Get Together (In Our Minds) by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci Whilst they can be fairly hit and miss, Welsh mavericks Gorky's hit gold with this off-kilter love song 27 Church Of Noise by Therapy? Inside Andy Cairns' head, heavy metal never went away. Riff of the year. 26 Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance) by Green Day Despite veering dangerously close to Caffreys advert territory, this gentle song still hit home. 25 Legacy by Mansun 98 saw Mansun return in yet another guise, and Legacy was their proudest fanfare heralding the new material. 24 Sober by Drugstore Isabel and cohorts produced this old-fashioned indie single, just like mother (and Throwing Muses) used to make. 23 Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook remix) by Cornershop Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow. Addictive crossover stuff that put Fatboy Slim on the main stage. 22 Jesus Says by Ash Innovation? Originality? Screw that - jump up and down to this Stoogefest of a track. 21 Special by Garbage Shirley's Chrissie Hynde homage contained harmonies that played the xylophone upon your spine and had you begging for more. Seductive song of the year. Continue onwards, or go back to the Head.
