Impressive list. I agree with all but one of them.

I was actually surprised by his choices @PamPurrs
There’s a couple there I’m not keen on and a couple missing imho but it’s all very subjective

I can’t say I’m familiar with Jet Harris.

Bill Wyman I can understand. I remember watching the Stones first tour without Bill, and the difference was notable. Probably wouldn’t have him on my list but I get it.

Pretty sure he made these picks on how he felt that day and who he has met in real life. At least that’s how I experienced Lemmy in his bio. He looks at the whole person. :slight_smile:

I would certainly agree with you @Paul .

The Shadows were a big hit in the Uk @Wombat-metal . They were heavily associated with Cliff Richard ( a UK pop sensation) and even starred with him in a couple of movies ( Summer Holiday springs to mind) .
They knocked out a fair few hits in their time.

I never noticed they had matching guitars and basses. 60s eh?
