Here is my list - what about yours?

1) Julian Cope
2) Julian Cope
3) Andy McCluskey of OMD
4) Julian Cope
5) Julian Cope

that's right mr cope is so good he makes it 4 times in my list!!!! OK so maybe its a tad biased -julian can't do a mean slap bass like Mark King- but maybe he taken too much flak round here lately & his ego needs inflating again

Binky Mckenzie.

This is the only thing I know he plays one which he recorded - everything else is legend.
