Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler.
The fact Weller got it horribly wrong after they parted company shouldn't be ignored.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I nominate Flex, a.k.a The Sixth Beatle.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: Band members who didn't get enough recognition.
I endorse this statement. Weller bores the piss out of me. You have a great formula that yields great rock song and you quit and start making jazzfart mellowrock.Heston wrote:Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler.

Re: Band members who didn't get enough recognition.
I actually kind of like Album, too. But it's not the PiL I love. It's the Johnny Lydon & the Hired Guns album.

Re: Band members who didn't get enough recognition.
I don't really mind Lydon's fake-PiL/solo work, but the man, as important as he is, isn't top shelf talent even by punk standards. I realize this is a controversial statement but I think his artistic decline is evidence.

Re: Band members who didn't get enough recognition.
I think he used up whatever he had by about 1981 or so. 1976-1981 was a fucking hell of a run, but I bet a lot of that had to do with the caliber of his collaborators, as well.eumaas wrote:I don't really mind Lydon's fake-PiL/solo work, but the man, as important as he is, isn't top shelf talent even by punk standards.

I think 76-81 Lydon was himself an innovator, but limited as an artist.Wolter wrote:I think he used up whatever he had by about 1981 or so. 1976-1981 was a fucking hell of a run, but I bet a lot of that had to do with the caliber of his collaborators, as well.eumaas wrote:I don't really mind Lydon's fake-PiL/solo work, but the man, as important as he is, isn't top shelf talent even by punk standards.
