Some of the songs were my brother's picks, so I do hate several of them as well.

| | | | Have listened to all of these and like most of them.For you folks not familiar with John Taylor's playing from Duran Duran, I suggest you educate yourselves promptly, he played a HELL of a lot more great stuff than jsut the song Rio, both the first two albums, are FULL of great bass playing on every song. By the third album (7+The Ragged Tiger) his skills had started to decline on record (and never reached that level again on their new stuff) But those first two albums, EVERY song has a great line. Anyone out there, Nightboat, My Own Way, all great!! Although Shadows on your Side and Crime and Passion are BOTH awesome lines even on the 3rd album. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
