I've long felt that Clive Bunker is one of the great unsung heroes of drumming, particularly when one thinks of the way progressive rock drumming developed back in the latter part of the 1960s. On "Stand up" and "Benefit," he subtly frames so many of the songs in odd little time signatures and patterns and enables Tull to really fly in strange ways, but it made them kind of unique. Ian Anderson is rightly credited for his songwriting, but all of the band, particularly Clive Bunker, were vital in being able to actually do it. I've long thought that songwriting is overrated ~ actually creating, arranging and putting down songs is where the action and glory lies.Clive Bunker
The Queen one or the Duran Duran one ? Both are good, but Queen's Roger has the better singing voice.Roger Taylor
Queen. I never got Duran Duran.I've long felt that Clive Bunker is one of the great unsung heroes of drumming, particularly when one thinks of the way progressive rock drumming developed back in the latter part of the 1960s.

I love that Bunker left the band as they were becoming huge so that he could spend time with his new wife. What a trooper !

"Save a prayer," and "The Reflex" are two of the greatest singles of the 80s. "Rio" is one of the best of the 2nd division. Roger Taylor does some mean drumming there.....when he's needed.Queen. I never got Duran Duran.
