Socke's suggestions
The best music of 1998


Hi there, this is Socke back again and ready to enlighten you about the world... well, at least I will instruct you about music... oh, well, at least about what it was in 1998 *bg*
Actually it was no good year in music, which saw the waiting for new deeds of our heroes, the disappointment about a slowly dying rock scene, punished by spotted pains like Cleopatra and N'Sync and by the return of the horror (in the incarnation of Modern Talking), saddened by the decease of Faith no more and others.
Yet: Socke took the time to filter the good from the bad and the tasteful from the schlock...
