He wasn't. But Peter Hook is, and Bootsy Collins. And Bernard Edwards from Chic with what is the best bass sound of the programme.

Missed this again, was out the cinema.
Can’t wait to watch this. I always pick on bass lines in music, love it.

There's plenty more besides.
One of my favorite songs ever is Talking Heads Heaven, the live version from Stop Making Sense. She plays bass and vocals; sublime.

Well, apart from, say, Mark Knopfler, Eddie van Halen, Uli Roth, Richard Thompson, Jennifer Batten, Bert Jansch, Jeff Beck, Steve Cropper, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and quite a few others, yes.
Good producer though.

Nile Rodgers - possibly the greatest guitarist ever
I’m with you, as I love the rhythm of Chic and all his other brilliant work. Up there with the best, but will never be liked by rockers, who cares?

Excellent selection there, not familiar with Jennifer Batten. Privileged to see Richard Thompson at the DWLP a couple of months ago, his "1959 Vincent Black Lightning" is jaw dropping both musically and as a song in its own right.

Selected from an eye wateringly small & predictable set of genres...

? Soft Rock, Hard/Heavy rock x 2, folk/folk rock, Pop/soul/rock, folk, blues rock, soul/r'n'b, heavy rock. blues rock. Seems enough variety there, reggae seems the only obvious omission?
