TV on the Radio bassist, Gerard Smith, sadly passed away on Wednesday evening after a battle with cancer. 



The news came as a huge shock, after it was only announced five weeks ago that he was suffering from the illness and he was just 36-years old.



On Now Playing tomorrow night we will be playing tribute to Gerard by putting together a playlist of TV on the Radio related tracks. We want your suggestions for the best of their tracks, examples of the artists who inspired the band, those who were subsequently took influence from them, other acts who have worked with Dave Sitek and brilliant bassists.



E-mail your suggestions to us, add them to our Gerard Smith Spotify playlist, or join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.
