Dominator’s Top 50 of 2001The following is my look back at my Top 50 of 2001.
27. Feeder – Buck RogersMaking No.5 in January last year, this is their biggest hit to date andis more of an upbeat track rather than a tribute to the 25th Century herowith the 70s haircut.It was followed by Seven Days in the Sun (No.14, Apr 2001), Turn (No.27, July)and Just a Day (No.12, Dec).Review copyright © Dominic Robinson, 2002.
