I don't have just one favorite but here's one of them.

Mark Tulin (RIP) on bass.



And another. Can't stand the clowns and jokers in the official video though.

Curiously enough, much like Nofi, same musicians, mostly, but in solo mode...



Real terms, there are just too many to think of, but some just jump out... early influences... really creepy video with this one...



Wandered off to find this... gonna stop before I log-jam the place...

Love that Electric Prunes track.

Need some Simonon, Seb Steinberg and Mani up in here. .... and some Captain Sensible for balance.  Nobody too ambitious.... or at least not to the detriment of the song.

One of my favorite pop bassists. Really great bass lines in most everything he did.

Elvis acostello was SO much better with these guys IMO.

Another fave with him:

I recently read a write-up on Costello in either Uncut or Mojo and was utterly flabbergasted to read Thomas was actually 2nd choice for the band. Costello wanted some other player ( who declined ) and had serious doubts if Thomas would work out.
