New York Mining Disaster 1941 - Bee Gees

There's a wonderful little film from 1978 called The Shout. It's usually pegged as a horror film, but that's not really doing it justice. Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford wrote the soundtrack and From The Undertow is the main theme of the film. It suits the surreal mood perfectly.

Take This Bottle - Faith No More

5 Minutes Alone - Pantera

Bax are an absolute joke. A mate of mine is having a very strange experience with them at the moment.

Take Me To Church - Sinead O'Connor

Sounds like you've heard the remaster with the bonus studio version of Clap. They weren't really happy with it so went with the live version - makes sense, the studio version is bone dry. The Yes Album is absolutely my favourite album of all time, and also one of my favourite bass albums, unsurprisingly. It's the sound of a band starting to realise their genius, but still full of youthful exuberance and holding on to their poppier beginnings - arguably they wouldn't hit their instrumental peak until Wakeman joined but here Tony Kaye's earthy, grinding Hammond really grounds the band and holds them back from some of the whimsy to come. A truly joyous album, with Squire's short bass solo in Starship Trooper - climbing up to briefly peek through the clouds - one of the most glorious sounds I've ever heard. I also think Clap absolutely fits and the album flows perfectly.

And a Gibson Thunderbird on Does It Really Happen! And Trevor Horn plays fretless on Run Through The Light.

As a wise man once said, people who think Emerald is Thin Lizzy's best song haven't heard Roisin Dubh.

Hung Up on a Dream - The Zombies

See My Way - Blodwyn Pig

Dead End Street - The Kinks

The guitar shop put a pickup in the window display?

Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies

Another excellent tone description! That's a good point re: signature bass, the interview I'm thinking of would have been from the 90s. I think by that time he was using the bridge pickup only - his sound on the later albums suggests so, it's a much harsher sound, not as rich as his early recordings. At least not to my ears anyway.

Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs

King Nothing - Metallica
