My Take

Jean-Jacques Burnel is punk that refused to mellow, and I love that. Born in 1952, he's the bassist and co-vocalist of The Stranglers, the only original member still standing, with a snarling, distorted bass tone you can identify in a single bar. The French heritage and the fact that he's also a serious karate practitioner give him this proper hard-man-musician edge. Still driving the band decades on is genuinely impressive. What I admire most is that he never sanded off the rough corners; the confrontational spirit of punk is something he's carried for half a century without going soft.

Overview

Jean-Jacques Burnel (born 21 February 1952) is an English musician, best known as the bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist with the punk rock band the Stranglers. He is the only original member to remain in the band.
