[kj] their finest hour(s)

[bluce ree]

Youth's basslines on Revs and WTF are amazing which is
why those albums are as good as they are (although I
suspect Geordie may have written some of them
basslines!).  

His plodding, shabby, predictable lines on Pand and
Democracy were poor though and I prefer a sleek,
no-nonsense KJ to a shambling drugged up hippy
version.

Raven IS Killing Joke's stage presence most of the
time (what with Geordie not looking quite as cool now
that he wears silly hats and just looks annoyed all
the time and Jaz looking more and more like Ozzy every
year) and his basslines, whilst being more predictable
than early KJ, are perfectly suited to latter day KJ.
