Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

34 Drowning Pool – Bodies * !!!”Let the bodies hit the floor” chants this rock anthem loudly and often.It’s bloody brilliant and gets many a play on MTV2 with a bizarre “12 Monkeys”style feel to the video.

27 Pulp – Bad Cover VersionAnd a bad record. It’s a spoof of charity records that’s worth a look oncebut not after that.

15 New Order – Here To StayAnother first rate tune from New Order and used in the “24 Hour PartyPeople” film, but still severely lacking in originality.

3 Doves – There Goes The FearI’m all for this Manchester band getting into the Top 3, but this is themost uninspired track I’ve ever heard from them. It contains none of thepassion from “Catch the Sun” or “The Man Who Told Everything” and sounds likesomething by the Stone Roses circa 1990.

1 Oasis – The Hindu Times :O === *1st Week at No.1*

If in doubt, just rehash old ideas to the point where they sound tiredand boring, and the clueless drones who bought your last album will buy thisanyway and you’ll cash in.

This is the 7th single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :

  • 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
  • 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
  • 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
  • 4. Westlife – World of Our Own
  • 5. Will Young – Anything is Possible/Evergreen
  • 6. Gareth Gates – Unchained Melody
  • 7. Oasis – The Hindu Times

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2001After last week’s look back at all the Top 50 tracks of last year,this week sees the list of my Top 50 of 2001. From next week I shallbegin my look back at them.

17. Cake – Short Skirt Long JacketMaking only No.63 in November last year, this was a very funky trackthat should’ve been a monster, if only it got some radio airplay, with atleast three different videos of members of the public giving their insightfulopinion on it.

There only other recent song of note was “The Distance”.
