beli and/or blueeyedgirl should know

 

[blueeyedgirl]

All I can say is that Google is a girl's best friend.

But I don't care for your stale biscuits cos its when David stopped dying his hair blonde and broke my heart.

beli and/or blueeyedgirl should know

We are the one and the same soul. She is me and I am her.

PS I never remember lyrics to any songs, including U2. Im one of those sit and listen to music/bassline type people ie in the minority.

Ive never understood why so many people drool over lead singers. Some lead singers are very pretty but do they have broad shoulders and large hands?

No! So whats the point then?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i can't think of one band i like where i prefer the lead singer. it's always the bass player or drummer for me.*

oh and since no one guessed, it's "the scent of magnolia" off david sylvian's "everything and nothing" album.



*let me think...
duran duran: john taylor (bass)
japan: steve jansen (drums)
U2: adam clayton (bass)
inxs: jon farriss (drums)
there's others i probably can't think of right now

 

[beli]

My turn:

duran duran: john taylor (bass)
japan: mick karn (bass)
U2: adam clayton (bass)
inxs: jon farriss (drums)

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

inxs: jon farriss (drums)

[beli]

[KhanadaRhodes]

[beli]

Pardon? What happened to his head? Is this because of that game show thingie?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

You need a bass-playing lead singer.

...maybe not...I can't actually think of any bass-playing lead singers with broad shoulders... Nevermind. Carry on.

I always thought of him as more wirey. But I could be wrong (shocking, I know!).

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i know he was kinda scrawny back in the 70s and 80s, but he got a bit muscular when he took up yoga. i can't remember how muscular though and if he still looks that way. my memory =

btw, some pics of jon's HAH:
