The year 1997 was something of a prolific year for popular music. Radiohead, Oasis, and Green Day released seminal albums while The Prodigy became an instant sensation upon their debut release "Music for the Jilted Generation". However, the spotlight also fell on two British bands who released some of their best work in 1997 -- Ash and Suede. Ash had just formed in Sheffield back in 1985 while Suede was relatively new to the music scene when they chose to take a shot on creating studio album "Coming Up". It would be one of two albums that would earn both artists international recognition that year. Suede's "Coming Up" was released on 17 April 1997 (3 May in the U.S.), becoming an instant hit. It entered the charts at no. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, where it stayed for one week before dropping to no. 2; but reappeared two weeks later at no. 1 once more, then remaining there for another two weeks (a total of three weeks at No. 1). It was almost immediately hailed as one of Britain's best albums of all time, and remains one of the most acclaimed albums of all time by "NME". In 2006, it was voted the best debut album of all time in a list of the best albums of the 90s compiled by NME. In 2003, "Q" magazine placed it at No. 128 on its list of the 500 greatest albums ever made. In 1998, David Quantick wrote: "Suede's "Coming Up"... is an "album" whose sound is very much that of a band that has been together for years. The sounds on show suggest that Suede had been playing together since they were teenagers. The record has a sense of humour (and wit) that was lacking in the tortured miserabilism of Suede's contemporaries. By the summer of 1997, it seemed that everyone who had ever felt like an outsider was into Suede; they were the toast of the town. By the end of year "Coming Up" had sold 1.5 million copies in Europe." Also in 1997, Ash released their third album "Nu-Clear Sounds". Released on 5 August, it entered at no. 9 in UK Albums Chart; after spending its first five weeks within the top 10, peaking at no. 6 on its eighth week, and spending a total of twenty weeks on the chart . It entered the Irish Albums Chart at no. 15, and later climbed to no. 9, remaining within the top 10 for over a month. Adam Sweeting of "The Guardian" wrote: ""Nu-Clear Sounds" was recorded in three months during the spring; it suggests three years of hard graft and experimentation". Outnumbered only by Oasis' "Be Here Now" and Radiohead's "OK Computer", both released around the same time, it is considered one of the finest albums in alternative rock music's history. cfa1e77820
