AllMusic Loves 1997
Mar. 2, 2011
When we decided upon 1997 as the next subject in the AllMusic Loves series, some of us thought it would present a challenge. Beyond a handful of hazy recollections, such as the unexpected U.S. breakthroughs of U.K. cult bands like the Verve and unlikely "jock jam" creators Blur, and the out-of-nowhere brilliance of Erykah Badu, we thought it was a thin year. After a proper inspection, we realized it was teeming with developments large and small, but all significant. Hip-hop/R&B innovators Timbaland and Missy Elliott hit their stride with solo releases. The Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, and Daft Punk made dance music that appealed to rock fans with large riffs and attitude, while the house and techno underground thrived, led by ambitious five-star releases from the likes of As One, Carl Craig, and Moodymann. Established alternative acts like Björk, Radiohead, Spiritualized, and Stereolab issued some of their most sprawling and creative work. Last but not least, there was the release of the definitive romo album: Orlando's Passive Soul.
