Despite lyrics to the contrary, he's no loser in the eyes (and ears) of Wall of Sound readers. That's right, Beck's Midnite Vultures managed to fend off stiff competition from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Santana to become your choice for the best album of 1999. Others who fared well include the Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, TLC, Limp Bizkit, and Blink-182. And despite having the highest-selling album of the year, the Backstreet Boys come in at No. 5. Teen queen Britney Spears squeaks into the No. 18 slot, while her Mickey Mouse Club cohort Christina Aguilera comes in at No. 11. This is the year of the protégé: Limp Bizkit bests its mentor Korn by several notches, and Eminem just manages to outpace his mentor Dr. Dre, coming in one slot higher than the rap legend.
