Surprised Roger Waters didn’t make the list.

And I hadn't even looked at the list before I posted...I swear! ;-) The Who,in their early days,were just about the best...IMO. Raw,enthusiastic...real rock & roll. When they went "sophisticated" I kind of lost interest.
Rock just doesn't get much better than Happy Jack,Substitute and Can't Explain.

Paul McCartney in the top five?
Give me a break.
These lists are totally stupid.
They always go back to personal favorites and popularity.

No Phil Lesh ...
No Charles Mingus ...

Probably my favorite Squire bass line was “Tempus Fugit” from the Drama album. And I don’t care what anyone says, Drama was a great Yes album.

But no mention of Levin’s 40-ish years as a member of King Crimson. Sigh.

He started as a guitarist, too. Switched to bass while in Hawkwind.

Live at Leeds is *the* seminal punk rock album. Especially the extended version.
Disagree? FIGHT ME!

I didn't see Gene Wright of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Massive omission.

Macca totally belongs in the Top Five. He influenced a heck of a lot of bass players.

I will say though, the 1970 “Isle of Wight” Young Man Blues, blew away the Live at Leeds version.

If you mean John Wetton (who I didn’t know died back in 2017), that reminds me of another former Uriah Heep bassist, the late Gary Thain.

Lee Sklar regularly does YT videos. I love the way he goes on long detailed reminisces of specific recording sessions.

Yup. And he could throw down on bass.

9 year old girl on bass and a 10 year old girl drummer...

That was my question. Leland Sklar is unbelievably active still. Check his daily show on YouTube; it’s great.
