I select in the 1999 category, THE SOFT BULLETIN by THE FLAMING LIPS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soft_Bulletin

Despite never reaching the Billboard 200 (it hit #12 on the Heatseekers chart), The Soft Bulletin reached universal acclaim (85/100) on Metacritic and topped over 60 "Best of 1999" lists[4] with some critics, namely Allmusic and Pitchfork Media, even going so far as to name it as a contender for the best album of the 1990s. Pitchfork Media rated The Soft Bulletin at #3 in their top 100 albums of the 1990s.[5]

In 2006, Robert Dimery chose The Soft Bulletin and its follow-up Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots as part of his book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die[1].

That's right kids. Album of the Year. The Flaming Lips. Who knew? Sure, they had some great albums like Transmissions from the Satellite Heart and Hit to Death in the Future Head. They also had Zaireeka, a piece of . (And stop with the hate mail, already!) This time, no fat, no filler, no . This is one of those albums people are going to obsess over for many years to come. One of the only albums I can compare it to is Dark Side of the Moon-- a sonic exploration into a bunch of morbid themes that sound extra good when you've been kissing Ol' Lady Bong.

Drummer Steven Drozd gets mad props for his thundering percussion which, for the most part, was recorded on one microphone.
