Sting. I'm listening to some old Police bootleg live stuff from 1980/81 and he's singing while playing his fretless P-Bass. It's killer!

Mark King - Level 42

Mike Herrera - MXPX

Gerald V. Casale - DEVO

I'm somewhat surprised that there had been no mention of Chris Squire (Yes). Although not necessarily known for his lead vocals, unless you count his solo work, Syn or Conspiracy.

Then there's Jaco near the end... : )

 

[Mike19]

I keep forgetting just how great Jaco was.

 

[Lazylion]

Then there's Jaco near the end...

1978, that was 9 years before the end.

 

[Mike19]

I think SB meant near the end of the track.

 

[SquierBender]

I think SB meant near the end of the track.

Aye.

Good call on Mariusz Duda, he's got some awesome licks! Anyone know where to find any Riverside tabs? Can't seem to find them anywhere.
