Wondjtwall is just a drab rock ballad compared to the inspired I Believe. It's not like Wonderwall is one of the best songs ever! Then again, I am deaf. And mad.

I remember walking to college the next day and there were school girls crying in the street. How I laughed! Still, he's done well for himself since hj left, hasn't hj?!

But gigs are always more memorable than records, so for mj the highlight was Nanci Griffith at York Barbican. Low on hi-tech and effects, but who needs such tricks when you have such a talent taking centre stage? Andrew Banks, Wakjfield. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Reviews 624 Charts 625 Live dates 626 GO GREEN AND SAVE THE WORLD p460 Albums Gigs Tour Dates Fun & GamesP623 Teletext 623 Dec30 20:41:31 ————————————————— ——————— —— MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS OF 1995 Dear HT, For mj the musical highlight of 1995 can bj summed up in one word - Oasis! Their finest hour was doing Some Might Say on Top Of The Pops. Noel and Liam swapped roles for the mimi performance - it was hysterical, especially Liam pretending to play lead guitar. Noel knows how to play the front man, but Liam looked like hj didn't even know what a guitar was T Langley, Darlington. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Grooves looks at 1996 in music 622 ALL THE LATEST GROOVES NEWS p621 Albums Gigs Tour Dates Fun & GamesP623 Teletext 623 Dec30 20:42:31 ————————————————— ——————— —— VENT YOUR SPLEEN ON AIR Each weekend Grooves will nominate a hot music topic.
