    Mike Mills - not just a bass player, but a multi-instrumentalist with a very fine singing voice. An integral cog in the REM machine.

    Not seen him live, but some of what Geddy Lee did on stage is pretty difficult to wrap my head around. Bass, keyboards, peddles, insane vocal gymnastics, often all at the same time.

    Seen Mani twice, blowing out his arse both times lol but brilliant, once watched a documentary, they said he was the missing piece and catalyst to them making it once they sacked the original bassist.

    I saw Stanley Clarke at the Brudenell. It was about 8 years ago. Absolutely brilliant.
