Spike Vincent Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 [quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1449924577' post='2928017'] Indeed. And a number of the players mentioned and their fellow band members were fans of the bands they were supposedly rallying against - The Pistols liked Rod & the Faces and The Who; Mick Jones was a fan of Zeppelin and Mott the Hoople - which is maybe where Danny Baker's notion comes from? But that's probably one for another day! [/quote] And that day is today...It's self evident that people will be influenced by the music that they listen to,and it must have been an interesting position for , say, Mick Jones, to be part of a musical movement that owed it's very existence to hating the music he was influenced by.... Anyway, on a personal influence note,Algy Ward when he was in the Damned. Quote

spongebob Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Dave Allen, Gang Of Four. His work on their first 2 albums is massively influential for me. ...and JJ Burnel, naturally, one of t[i]he[/i] players of the last 35 years. Quote
timmo Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 No idea if XTC were classed as new wave but i am listening to Senses Working Overtime. Havent a clue who plays bass on it, but it sounds good Quote
BottomE Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 JJ who has still got a killer sound (at least in 2011) when saw him last. The guy from Elvis Costellos Attractions - great technique. Norman of Blockheads fame - quite groovy form this genre. Never really enjoyed Foxton though lots have included him. For me his tone wasn't great - technique nothing special - haircut by mum. Quote

howdenspur Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Paul Gray from Eddie and the Hot Rods (and others later) had good lines and energy. EHR were arguably more pub rock, but they crossed over well. Punk rock a reaction against Queen and ELO? Too right...Bohemian Bloody Rapsody needed a reaction! Quote
HowieBass Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Tina Weymouth - never played more than was necessary and it always suited the song. Quote
chriswareham Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1449919381' post='2927935'] Stuart Morrow, New Model Army to name but a few [/quote] He was superb on the first two NMA albums. I'll add: Peter Hook of Joy Division David J of Bauhaus Martin "Youth" Glover of Killing Joke Barry from Southern Death Cult Dave Allen and Sara Lee of Gang Of Four Dave Roberts of Sex Gang Children Quote

The psychedelic album they made in 1985 is pretty incredible too, worth a listen even if XTC's normal stuff doesn't flip your pancake Quote
Bassassin Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1449922304' post='2927984'] Steven Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees.Who is not very well at the moment. [/quote] How did I manage to forget Severin? Always loved his playing. Didn't know he was unwell, hope he recovers soon. J. Quote
BassTractor Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Derek Birkett - Flux of Pink Indians JJ Burnell Paul Simonon Sting Colin Moulding There certainly are others I can't remember right now. ...and I'm happy the title says "fave", not "best". Quote
Maude Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Would PiL be considered New Wave? Well Post Punk must be a type of punk so I'm nominating Jah Wobble. Edited December 12, 2015 by Maude Quote
NancyJohnson Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Glen Matlock. I (obvously) knew of the Sex Pistols and owned the early singles, but he gets my vote for what he did with The Rich Kids. Quote
