Just a great year for music. I feel old knowing that a lot of this is now two decades old, but man 1997 was a fun year in my life as a bartender.
Music in 1997

True story. I'm probably the biggest non-Asian, white, male, fan of Boyz II Men around. I called Disc Jockey in Lexington Green the day this song came out on CD single to have them hold a copy for me. Grungy dude said "yeah, I don't think I'll need to do that." Apparently I overestimated their popularity to the rest of Lexington.
Natalie Imbruglia would get it. tS.
97 was JayZ volume 1, and kicked off an incredible def Jam run that will never be duplicated.
Near. Far. Wherever TF you are, bitches.
^lmao. Man, that was probably the biggest deal in 97.
Holy cow

Wu tang - forever

Keep in mind that this song (and video) were released as a single in 1997. Now pay close attention to the "Trump For President" sign that the dude is holding at the 1:00 mark. [laughing][roll][roll][roll][laughing]

Another 311 fan!!! Transistor is awesome from beginning to end. My low key favorite is The Continuous Life. Driving back to Louisville from visiting my folks in London I would smoke a pinner joint and put this CD in for 2 or 3 years once I hit Lexington. Kill an hour quickly.
Weird and no accounting for different tastes but I've always consider thenlate 90s the beginning of the musical desert we've wandered into. There are exceptions of course but generally, awful.
This Black Crowes tune was on the Band album that was scheduled for release in 1997 but the entire album was ditched. It was later released on the Lost Crowes double album in 2006…but i include it here because Another Roadside Tragedy is a great tune that should have been released in 1997.
It's crazy everyone wants to downtalk music then but I honestly the 90s crushed it. There's so many good song.
I'm willing to admit that I refused to listen to Jamiroqui because I considered it adult contemporary euro trash. I heard some of their newer stuff on Pandora without realizing who it was and have been won over. Unique and damn good.
Would rather hear music from 1977 (excluding the disco crap). Clapton, ELO, Bowie, Queen, Skynyrd, Talking Heads, AC/DC, The Clash, Neil Young, Marvin Gaye, Jackson Browne, Meat Loaf, Steve Miller Band, Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, Ted Nugent, Rod Stewart, Marshall Tucker Band, Earth, Wind and Fire, etc. all had hits that year.
