Air
Fatboy slim
Beastie boys
Manic street preachers
Garbage
And 1999
Travis

I was also buying a lot of dance music

1999:
1999. The Clint Boon Experience - The Compact Guide To Pop Music And Space Travel
1999. Ooberman - The Magic Treehouse
Whistler's 1999 album too. Ultrasound was a bit disappointing though after so excitedly waiting for it. And not having "I'll Show You Mine" on it.. why not? (Also Travis was one of the top albums for me but that's been mentioned already)
1998: Carter USM - I Blame The Government. Their final album before they decided to split. For me this was a great album and underrated.
Space - Tin Planet. And it was quite interesting that they had some dance music on it, as well as some dance-music B-sides on some of their singles.
Cinerama - Va Va Voom. They used the phrase before Thierry Henry but didn't invent it. This was David Gedge's main "experiment" in his career. Later Cinerama was more Weddo-esque.
Gomez - Bring It On. Won a Mercury Music Prize.
Aside from Whistler that's all male vocalists though.

These were my two biggest clubbing years. Was heavily into that scene and all that came with it. Thankfully I did delve into some pop gems.
1998
Brandy - Never Say Never (a monster album for me - the whole album had so many amazing tracks. Really takes me back this one)
I wouldn't class the rest of my list as stellar albums, as I only liked a couple of tracks from each. But they're noteworthy.
Steps - Step One (Heartbeat / Last Thing on My Mind)
Whitney Houston - My Love is Your Love (It's Not Right / When You Believe)
Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of (Everything is Everything / Can't Take My Eyes / Ex Factor)
1999
Destiny's Child - Writing's On The Wall (my fave album from the year - lots of great singles from this one. Sounds kinda dated now though)
Other notable ones...
Westlife - Flying Without Wings
Steps - Steptacular
Mariah Carey - Rainbow
Joey McIntyre - Stay The Same
