|  | The brightside is, my collection could be cars | | Join Date: Nov 2012 Location: Florida | | | I go along with gjbassist perfectly for his top four only, but the order changes. Lately I have grown to respect Paul McCartney a whole lot more than I used to. I tried to master the Beatles song book. He kicks my butt, not that it is a big deal to do that. I would move him to #2 behind John Entwistle, John Paul Jones tied for #3 with Jack, because Jack played that short scale EB like a lead guitar. |

I don't think he is a dynamic or flamboyant player. I'm not a Beatles fan anyway which is why my favourite Beatle is whichever one died first.
I think I might be first to mention on TB - the mighty Paddy Steer of Yargo.
For the record, I'd love to add more but I'll submit my other 4 'British' players as:
JJ Burnel (YES, born in London)
Jah Wobble
Horace Panter
John Entwistle |

Pino Palladino
Chris Wolstenholme
Chris Squire
Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond
Just to name five...
