I need someone to get the drugs and who can keep Ginger in line. The other guy I was thinking of has gone all "new age" and yoga lately (although I grant he's technically the "better" bassist). But, he's gotta fit my band's build, he's gotta be hard, he's gotta be cool, and he's gotta have Style (with a capital S). So I'm gonna go with:

Lemmy


It may not be the best band in this tourney but I have no doubt that my band could beat the shit out of your band.

She'd won Best New Artist (1992), Best Songwriter (1992), Artist of the Year (1995), Album of the Year (1995) from Rolling Stone, made what Spin eventually ranked the #3 album of the 90s, what NME ranked as the #6 album of the 00s, won the Pazz & Jop Album of the Year poll (1995), won her first Mercury Prize, and been named Q's #1 female artist of all-time.

I'm not saying Annie Clark can't get there someday, but she's got to pick up the pace if she's going to. And even if she does, with the trajectory PJ is still on, it might not even matter.

From his classics with The Doors to his solo endeavors, this keys player will fit right in with my group.

Annie has released five albums since 2007, and was in The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens' touring band before then... In addition, Annie has collaborated with The National, Beck, David Byrne, Bon Iver, and let's not forget about THIS...
