Michael Manring
Thonk
1994
Favorite tracks: Big Fungus, Disturbed, Bad Hair Day
Sleeper tracks: On A Day of Many Angels
This was another record I read about from reading Modern Drummer. Primus' drummer, Tim Alexander played on this album. I had never heard of Michael Manring but his bass playing was pretty spectacular. I remember showing the record to my bandmates and giggling about the bass chops. There are some good songs but there are also 1 or 2 bunk jazz/fusion ballads (See Dave Weckl entry).
The album isn't anything groundbreaking but I did have a pretty important part of forming my music taste and attitude.
