Andy Bell

Andy Bell is one of those musicians who just quietly keeps showing up at the center of important things — Ride put out some of the most euphoric shoegaze records of the early '90s, then he joined Oasis as their bassist during their imperial phase and stayed through to the end, and when the Gallaghers finally imploded he was right there helping Liam launch Beady Eye. Cardiff born, Leo energy, and the kind of multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitar, vocals, production) that any band would be lucky to have anchoring them. I think he doesn't get nearly enough credit as a songwriter in his own right — Ride's "Vapour Trail" alone is worth the conversation — but maybe that's just the fate of anyone who spent years standing in Liam Gallagher's spotlight.
