The Strokes proved themselves favourites with readers as well as critics. Radiohead, Sigur Rós and Björk all demonstrated that dreams weave a compelling web. Propagandhi, (International) Noise Conspiracy and Fugazi won over fans with politics in their punk, while Mike Patton's Fantômas reached metal fans and experimentalists alike. And the commentary by Exclaim! readers is some of the most astute and concise criticism ever to grace our pages.
