    Dominator’s Top 50 of 1999

    10. Supergrass – Moving

    When first released in September last year, this track, which made No.9,was one I couldn’t stand. I said it was too dull, but after hearing it afew more times subsequently, it really grew on me and became one of myTop 10 singles of last year.

    It was preceeded by the rather boring Pumping on your Stereo(No.11, June 99), but followed-up by the impressive Mary (No.36, Dec 99).

    The end bit :

    Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.

    Bye for now,

    Dominator
