[/quote] Absolutely on the money. I would add to that list the mighty Portion Control. Edited March 27, 2017 by PaulGibsonBass Quote
BrunoBass Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1490548259' post='3265876'] To be fair it was Dire Straits who got my brothers generation playing guitars, bass and drums, rather than poncing about with synths. Knopfler is a legend. In the 60s and 70s pop music very much pushed boundaries, it simply needs placing in context. [/quote] I'm not here to dis Dire Straits but I wouldn't put Knopfler & co down as boundary pushers? Quote
planer Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1490459149' post='3265295'] I'm with BigRedX on this - blandness in the Nth degree IMO - they were merely stocking fillers in the 80s music scene. [/quote] Or in my case - the sound of my youth. Gives me goosebumps, and I still love them both [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1490467352' post='3265368'] This does solidify my believe and gratefulness that everyone thinks, in very different ways musically [/quote] Absolutely! And interesting to see the quite polarised opinions Quote
