Hi
I was just coming home from walking the dog at an offleash park, when You shook me all night long came on the radio. I really like ACDC and even though Cliff is pretty simplistic playing I really enjoy listening to him, with that being said I really don't like the songs You shook me all night long or Back in Black probably their biggest hits.
Whole lotta rosie,Hell's Bells, Shoot to Thrill and Thunder Struck are probabley my favorit songs from that band.
This anyhow prompted my to ask the question
What Bassist do you admire ? and what song do you hate that they play on?If you heard the song on the radio you would instantly change the channel, and ask yourself I really like this guy but I can't stand that song. |

|  | Sam was a basket case!!!! | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Corrupticut | | | I like Wooten, but I'd say that fully 1/3 of his stuff trips my fast-forward gag reflex. But just like free speech, I defend his right to make whatever he wants to make. He's a kind soul, great with fans, and a true musical wonder... that's enough for me.
And as much as I like Tony Levin as a sideman, I can't get into his solo stuff.
