Save Side... \'nuff said.
On second thought, not \'nuff said yet.
I voted Ron based on the fact that when I feel that the band is jamming together without a distinct instrument soloing, Ron is the person that dictates where the jam is headed. He is also, in my humblest of opinions, the most improved since the time I started going to shows (April 2002).
It is hard to get around focusing on Tim whilst he is the one soloing, but he also does some interesting stuff when he is not soloing. Jordan is the one that stands out when I am listening to nobody in particular (and that\'s a compliment). He comes through as a force that sets a specific version of a certain song apart from every other version. The keyboard work is, in my opinion, the most unique element of The Breakfast. As far as Adrian goes, I find that I conciously appreciate what he does more on the recording than I do live. Drum solos aside, what he is playing is just comes through as so natural, as exactly what should be happening at that moment in the music, that my mind doesn\'t even process it as something amazing without a few extra listens... maybe I should take Wah Wah\'s advice and start puffing before shows.
And now for the obligatory disclaimer... no disrespect is meant to Tim, Adrian, Ron, Jordan, Josh Dobson, the amazing whistling of Mr. Gencs, the manufacturers of any of the equipment they use, the owners, proprietors, architects, and carpenters affiliated with any of the venues where the Breakfast has played, or any of the opinions stated in this thread or at any other point in time in this arena or any other. I know a li\'l bit about music, but I am completely ignorant to the mechanics of the guitar, bass, percussions, keys, organ, and any other little gadgets used by any of the band members... not to mention that I have no background in stage layout, sound engineering, or venue/stage design and construction. It\'s the way I hear it live, in my car, or in my earphones (and each of these means of listening make their own differences, but that\'s another rant for another time).
