Mehman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 So much pretentious wankerism in this thread, you don't like them, who cares, i am honestly indifferent on them but i would have to say over the last 25 years they have been probably the most consistant band when it comes to throwing out 'hits' so to speak and that's where the masses are so it's obvious that most polls will have them as the 'greatest' band they would even rate high on all time lists on that basis.

choffer Posted October 26, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2011 Best bassist. Hooky Sure this thread shows the lack of knowledge among the majority of posters. Any discussion on best bassist that doesn't include the below is fundamentally flawed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's no different to people who only like bland middle of the road mainstream music looking down their nose at people who care to like stuff that may be less know though is it ?

mjmooney Posted October 26, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2011 We seemed to have hijacked this into a bass players thread. If you have listened to the radio or watched TV since 1958, you've heard Carol Kaye play. Carol was one of the core group of anonymous studio musicians who lent her unique styles of studio Guitar and Electric Bass playing to many of the hits recorded by such popular artists like the Beach Boys, Ray Charles, TheRighteous Bros., Johnny Mathis, Nancy Sinatra, Sam Cooke, Glen Campbell, Lou Rawls, Jan & Dean, Henry Mancini, The Lettermen, Paul Revere & Raiders, Monkees, Buckinghams, April & Nino,Sonny & Cher, Chris Montez, Andy Williams, Quincy Jones, Joe Cocker, Ike &Tina Turner, Mel Torme, Bobby Darin, Frank Zappa, Wayne Newton, Herb Alpert, O.C. Smith, Don Ho, Al Martino, and a few Motown (LA). Oh, Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Carol Ah, the Queen of Bass, playing on some of Stevie Wonder's greatest tunes including 'I Was Made To Love Her' and many of The Beach Boys classics including Pet Sounds. She was a huge part of Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' era which of course inspired the likes of Brian Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Most over rated band in the last 25 years I dont think they are over-rated, they are one of the biggest bands in the world...ever. Sell record's by the millions, sell out every tour they do and do actually produce some very very good music. Songs like, Where the streets have no name, With or without you, Sunday bloody Sunday, New year's day, Beautiful day...all stupidly good records which still sound good today imo. My problem, as is many's, is Bono...grade A word removed of the highest order. Super talented, great voice but unfortunatly a complete tool!
