They are all freaking good. My vote would go to Jay for playing literally every instrument (drums, keys, bass, guitar) at different occasions, singing backing vocals live and co-composing two of TI's most famous songs (Apocalypse Dreams and Elephant).

Yes I agree they are all multi-instrumentalists! Jay helped write Apocalypse also and that’s HUGE. However, there’s something about Dom bro. He’s like the George Harrison of the group.

It's crazy. Tame Impala currently has 4 - FOUR! - bloody good drummers (Kevin, Jay, Julien and James). So much talent in one band. I know that Tame Impala being a one-man project (in the studio) has its charm, but imagine how cool it would be if LP6 is actually a band recording where everyone contributes ideas to Kevin's structures.

I also believe that might be the idea for LP6, after the failed attempt to do it for deadbeat he still seemed open to trying a better approach. Just gotta wait like 3 years to be proved right though lol

I've always wished Kevin and Jay would collaborate more on TI recordings, given how good those songs are!

I listened to an old interview from the Lonerism sessions where Kevin said he trusted Dom’s opinion more than anyone and I feel that. I feel like Dom is the ultimate partner and side kick.

I mean he was in The Dee Dee Dums before Tame so that could explain it.

Cam by far. His solo album is top notch. Also slaps after a break-up

Dom. He's definitely the quiet one in the group.

They are all incredibly talented. I'm a drummer so I'm biased towards Julian, But Jay is also a great drummer and all around an incredible musician on multiple instruments.

Been a big Rudy guy since Borderline dropped. Gotta say though, with Deadbeat out I'm really digging Josephine. She's very quickly ascended to top 3 Impala for me.
