Camp for me

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Gotta admit that Camp is almost as good as Squire. Hell, even what he plays on Camera Camera smokes a lot of bassists..............

Martin Turner. Wishbone Ash music isn't the same without the upfront melodic basslines.

As far as Jowitt goes, I'm a huge IQ fan but prefer Tim Esau any day of the week...don't like Jowitt's tone at all so no vote for him. Even though I absolutely cannot stand Renaissance and Annie Haslam (though I really like the debut album) I'd give Camp the vote. Great tone and adventurous playing...just hate the band he's in

I love progarchives. Give a choice from a list and you can guarantee that someone (or several) awkward sods will say "it's none of those, it's XXXXX". Drives you mad.

of course it does.. but what can you do. Ahhh.. subscribe to the notion that discusion is where you find it.. not always were you might have wanted it to go. Hey besides.. I wouldn't bitch too much...at least YOUR polls have some life and a pulse.. mine are usually D.O.A. I had a years long streak of threads that never made it past the first page

Martin Turner from the list-great player In general, Helmut Koellen (Triumvirat, Jail, solo) He is criminally under-rated, and hardly anyone talks about him.

I love what Martin Turner does on the track 'Handy' (from the Wishbone debut). And his playing on Vas Dis is outstanding.

Of these I am only familiar with Martin Turner. Who in my opinion is one of the best bass/lead vocalists of the 70s.
He has just released a new album of new material (not old Wishbone Ash classics) called "Written In The Stars". I was very ambivalent to listening to it, let alone buying this album after so many years in the "wilderness" i.e. not releasing any new material since 1999's Walking The Reeperbahn. But I bought it and on listening to it, I have to say it is just an amazing record.
Truly Written In The Stars is the best set of tracks I have heard in a long while from any artist. Put it this way, I am a enormous fan of Andy Powell and buy all new Wishbone Ash releases but in my opinion Written In The Stars is better than anything Wishbone Ash has put out in the last 20 years. That is saying something because the 2002 Wishbone Ash album, Bona Fide is an absolute gem but Written In The Stars is even better than that...very proggy, very Wishbone Ash ...an essential purchase IMHO.
A few months ago Martin Turner was put forward to be put on PA in the prog-related category. What's happening, he's not on here? He should be on here; just for Written In The Stars...have a listen....it is a fantastic album.

Oh God, of course it is. I've only got 8 albums by MME and I've been calling him Colin for 40+ years, then I have a senior moment when I wrote the poll. Confused him with Chris Slade. Doh!!
