black hole sun - soundgarden

streams of whiskey - the pogues

It’s a fairly broad church. I could say the same about metal but would be thinking of Napalm Death at breakfast time.

Since working from home i’ve been getting into jazz and recently classical. i can’t concentrate when vocals cut through the music…

I like both of those guys and agree re playing front and centre but can’t say they are the only bassists I like as musicians. Of the top of my head I could add: Jah Wobble Aston Barrett Carol Kaye Donald Dunn Sir Horace Gentleman Lemmy Danny Thompson Geezer Butler and many, many more

I grew up abroad and the only music I had access to were my parents old ‘60s stuff, a bit of blues, reggae and motown. I loved it then and still do today. Whilst I don’t think its the be all of everything I generally prefer the closest a recording can get to the bands/artists live sound. I’ve lost track of the number of bands Ive seen live and been really disappointed with the album on its release or in many cases the second album after a successful debut that is (imo) ruined by over production and so polished it’s just sterile.

Alternatively it’s the quick production and low fi instruments and recording that that made early Motown so exciting.
