Whilst all around bowed down to the Fatboy, it was left to the Chems (with a little help from their friends) to remind us how it should be done.

 Be My Lover by Naomi
A startling offering from an artist that deserves to make the new millenium hers. Hear her roar.

Everything Must Flow by Suede
Suede's irresistible urban fantasies continued to waft out of 1999. This was the best 'un.

Alive by The Beastie Boys
Those bouncing beat-dropping boys hit home with this, a more serious, less surreal but just as vital track as ever.

As usual, a hit and miss year for Kelly and crew. For every earth-shaking classic, there were another couple of limping excuses for songs. This, however, saw the Phonics firing on all cylinders.

You Stole The Sun From My Heart by Manic Street Preachers
Likewise this fairly well-known Welsh trio. Although swamped by a bit of a backlash, the Manics were still capable of popping their heads above the battlements and firing off a gem of a song such as this.

 The Pop Singer's Fear Of The Pollen Count by The Divine Comedy
Neil Hannon was the pop poet of the year, and his muse looks set to get stronger. Although a remaster of an oldie, this was still one of the most joyous and witty singles released this year.

Garbage had a critic-defying stellar year, but this chillingly eerie love / obsession hymn proved their finest moment yet.
