WestwayKid, thank you so much for organising this all, it's been fantastic!
Yes, three cheers for Westway. This has been a lot of fun.

Thirding the thanks to Westway for doing the legwork on all this. When you go home tonight there'll be an extra story on your house.

I hate to do it, but I had to vote CC. RCF is just too representative of the band as a whole, plus I love Jamaican music, plus it's one of the very few songs I know for a fact that Paul actually played on.
Why is that?
From that group of isolated tracks for the whole album up on YouTube.
What about the isolated track gave it away?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah, Mick can make mistakes too.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Talking of Paul playing on the albums, Bill Price made it pretty clear in an in-depth interview that he definitely played on London Calling (the song). He was also sent upstairs by Sandy Pearlman to get the GEER stuff note perfect. Why would this happen if he wasn't playing on the album?

As I said last time: NEVER VOTE AGAINST SKA. The Flexian credo.

Both incredible songs, but sticking with voting off CC. Rudie is too perfect in every way.

That kind of absolutism leads one to No Doubt. And then your family has to move far away and change their name.

I'm sure we've had this discussion before. I think Paul played on more than people sometimes give him credit for. Unlike Sid - Paul did progress as a bass player.

The fumbling mostly. If you compare it to Mick's obvious playing on LITS, plus what we know Paul sounds like live, it's fairly obvious.

Engineers at Fender have been working feverishly for years trying to recreate Paul's famous BONK BONK tone.

It's really not hard to make with a P-bass. Kind of overrated instruments, I think.

I thought you'd use an example of a band that isn't awesome.
