i hope i'm a lot cooler now?
The rest of my list is wearily predictable, I'm afraid: Grace, Holy Bible, His 'n' Hers, Dummy, Protection, 36 Chambers, Dog Man Star, Tiger Bay, Silver Apples of the Moon, Downward Spiral, Ill Communication, Bluff Limbo, Vitalogy, Parklife, Talking Timbuktu, Patashnik, Aftermath, Wilmot, Lost and Found etc. Should be able to think of some more leftfield ones, but off the top of my head I can't - was that just because 1994 was the sort of year where the decent stuff actually sold?

The more things change, the more I become half-heartedly nostalgic.

the transition was more interesting. The middle was kind of all nice and settled and perhaps a little dull i.e. Britpop, Big Beat

Hey look, it's not everyday that I'll say Britpop was dull but I did for the sake of argument. I'm just saying that 1994 was when a whole load of exciting stuff was happening because everyone was coming to terms with "hey dance isn't really so bad after all" but after that it got watered down with shit like Bentley Rhythm Ace and stuff.

I was still listening to Now Compilations for the most part in '97 but the Prodge, Snoop and Dummy changed all that.

Sugarcubes, Stick Around for Joy (after hearing this and the Bjork singles that were still in rotation -- "Human Behavior," "Big-Time Sensuality" -- I really wanted to buy Debut, but the one-star review in Rolling Stone put me off)
The Cure, Staring at the Sea: The Singles
and LEST I FORGET:
Reality Bites OST!
