I really like them all, but Miss Melbourne is the sexiest by far
(unless your into Rick Fenn topless on montreux) :D

BTW Did you hear about the bass player who locked his keys in the car
Took the drummer 45 mins to get him out !

Pekka Pohjola was without a doubt the best.

Judging from the first four album I'd say Mike is his own best bass player (Ommadawn part 1!!!;), but I think Hansford Rowe did a great job on the Knebworth video (not that he's so impressive on Platinum).
Players like Rick Fenn and Phil Spalding did their job well but the bass playing doesn't exactly stand out.

Oh i dunno.There's some pretty damn impressive stuff on Crises from Mr Spalding.The speedy bits in the track Crises with Phil tracking the guitars exactly coms to mind instantly.
The problem with Platinum is figuring out exactly who played what bass wise.Hansford Rowe is very impressive at Knebworth but to me he's playing to much of the funk slapping technique.That's just down to my personal taste though.
