I had missed the news of Baker's passing, but checked in on the Monk's website today and discovered this typically insightful remembrance: [postpunkmonk.com] As Monk says in his piece, Baker is most associated with Queen, but give me Candy-O and Panorama any day.

For me as a listener, I’ve recently. had more fun finding these types of innocuous bands (who somehow got on major labels) instead of listening to Husker Du again!]]> Bip Trouser Press Sat, 03 May 2025 11:43:38 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,69211,69215#msg-69215 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,69211,69215#msg-69215
