He is quite an amazing bassist, while sure he may not be as technical skilled as (insert funk bass player here) he makes up for in making simple things sound great and carrying the rhythm of New Order and Joy Division. Also Peter Hook sounds like a pirate name, so that's already 10 cool points out of the bag.

As for boobs list I'm glad to see Jah Wobble on the list, great dub bass player. If he wasn't in PiL they would've been largely shit.
