98-01 had some of the best releases of the late 90s and early 00s, including (to name a select few)...
The Boy With the Arab Strap Belle & Sebastian
Orange Rhyming Dictionary Jets to Brazil
Mezzanine Massive Attack
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Neutral Milk Hotel
Agaetis Byrjun Sigur Ros
Since I Left You The Avalanches
Summerteeth Wilco
Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea PJ Harvey
Tourist St. Germain
Discovery Daft Punk
Hardly what I'd call a "horrid" stretch.
And Interpol are a good band, and really don't sound all that much like Joy Division. Franz Ferdinand's S/T was good also (can't say the same for their new one), however they do sound a lot like a less political, more danceable Gang of Four.
