Had a lot of older siblings, so grew up with folk, rock & roll, and a bit of soul music from late 50s thru late 60s. Lots of mid/late 70s stuff was pretty bad. So was glad that glimmers of rock 'n roll, folk, R&B, and real country saw revival in alternate/independent/underground music of mid 80s. Moonlighted running live sound for original music bands on small label, from 84-94 or so, in central Midwest. I guess they called us cowpunks.

Why is Bruce Foxton (mod, The Jam) only ranked 30th best lead bass player of all time?

I know they were not cool,  as not really punk or new wave.  Kinks,  Who, Small Faces were out of favor in ’78.  But he was also really accomplished at playing Motown soul.  Paul Weller could actually play lead and rythym  on his Schecter at same time, but the bass ties it all together in a 3-piece.
