Geordie Walker (Killing Joke)
Very distinctive and influential, long time member of the great Killing Joke - one of the most influential post-punk bands. Walker was an influence on most post-punk, grunge, modern rock and alternative bands. Just listen to Killing Joke's "Eighties" as compared to Nirvana's "Come As You Are".
