Pierre Von Mondragon Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 It really has to be said that 'Rappers Delight' is 'Good Times' by Chic, thats where the respect is due, to the late Bernard Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm shit with song titles, but the second track from Fugazi's Red Medicine. What a groove.#IDONTWANNABEDEFEATEDIDONTWANNABEDEFEATEDIDONTWANNABEDEFEATEDWAAAAH#Cool jam.I'm surprised Matt Freeman got a mention. He's pretty crappy. I can't stand hearing the bass being played as a lead instrument. His fret-wandering takes away the low end in alot of Rancid songs which is not what I want in a bass player.
