Have we mentioned the Kinks yet? Hugh was certainly taking some cues from them around the 10 era.

A bit of New Musik from JJ? Or did I imagine that? Some years ago didn't the band have a playlist that they played before the gigs with tracks chosen by the band?

Hugh also loved the Tubes,loves Mose Allison,Beefheart as did JJ,Elvis so many,Jet used to love Buddy Rich.Major Kudu back from Op Java Pt 3,I even managed to smuggle my Army Knife back.

And not forgetting Bowie,I read that Hugh's fave gig was seeing Bowie the last gig where he was Ziggy Stardust.So an eclectic mix which is good also JJ loves Bach.Major Bunter.

Jet had great taste in drummers.
Didn’t Jet say in that Stranglers movie (whatever the fuck happened to that) clip he was a fan of and listened to Duke Ellington as well?

Yes I believe Jet liked Duke Ellington,Jet of course didn't listen to Drummers,but the music,but he certainly admired Buddy Rich for his amazing skill and Gene Krupa ? As for the movie that's another thread.Major Kudu.

And lets not forget Love. The Arthur Lee led sixties group was a huge fave of Hugh and JJ.
And Miles Davis, the riff of Bitches Brew was copied for Nubiles.
JJ also likes The Beach Boys I seem to remember.

Yep, that led him to play Quark strangeness and charm with 3 men and black.

Indeed, and before that it was in all setlists of his Songs and Stories solo gigs.
