PLAYLIST: The Best Of 1998

1998 was the year that we officially entered the "post-Britpop" era. The music became darker and less optimistic, but also more interesting and sonically inviting. Hearing this compilation takes me back to my teenage years, and the evenings spent in my bedroom with the music that offered me an escape and a sense of hope. Now, they remind me that I made it, and that over the years songs like these got me through testing times, and led me to where I am now. They remind me that anything is possible, and nowadays they soundtrack the sort of wonderful life that I always dreamed of having.

This playlist features the 100 best tracks from the year, compiled into an epic compilation for your listening pleasure.

If you enjoy any of the songs featured here, we encourage you to support the artists by purchasing their music from your local record shop, or through online retailers.
