Dominator’s Top 50 of 2001The following is my look back at my Top 50 of 2001.

44. Straw: Sailing Off The End of the World

A fantastic and upbeat tune, which made just No.52 in March last year,and on TV they sometimes weren’t allowed to say the brand name “Lufthansa”that features in the chorus.

Nothing else has been heard from them since, chart-wise.
