Set List Special - Happy Birthday, John Taylor

Nigel John Taylor

b. June 20, 1960

English bass guitarist

Genres considered - New Wave, New Romantic, Pop Rock, Hard Rock 

Set List is ultimately inspired by Duran Duran.  A great deal of coverage about the band and individual members has been posted and therefore would be redundant here. Instead I thought I would share snapshots of the one and only, John Taylor.

Beyond Duran Duran, John Taylor is well known for his contribution to The Power Station.

John Taylor is likewise known for his role in the briefly formed Neurotic Outsiders.  

While Duran Duran was on hiatus, John Taylor embarked on a solo career.  In 1997, John formed an unfortunately titled band that did not last long ("John Taylor Terrorism").

In 1999, John released two albums consisting of previous works.

In 1999, John signed a contract with the Japanese record label, Avex Trax.  He recorded two albums.
