  1. Ranked No. 2 in Funk

    Larry Graham slaps and pops a bass because his band had no drummer, and invents an entire technique by accident. The most cheerful record ever written about being ground down.

  2. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    A bass technique invented to cover for a missing drummer, and the most cheerful record ever written about being ground down.

  3. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Where the Accent Moved

    A bass technique invented to cover for a missing drummer, and imitated for fifty years afterwards. Limitations make signatures far more often than intentions do.
