Where the heck is Carmen SanDiego?

that was a weak list.

that was a weak list.

Bill will be along shortly to apologize then.

Well that there is about the stupidest list I've seen in a month a Sundays.  Lee Sklar and Carole Kaye in the 40s?????  No mention of Edgar Myer??? (or any of the umpteen other Nashville bassists who could play rings around 80 percent of the "list makers").  So many were left out and so many piddle asses were included.  There is a distinct difference between being famous and being a virtuoso.  Pffffffffffft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Willie Weeks?

JT rools - it's official !!
 
Bad luck Bapu - mebbe you shouldn't have stopped wearing the make up !

I completely agree. Lee Sklar and Carole Kaye defined the sound of bass guitar in modern music. Also, Paul Jones.
 
I would put Jaco at the top and although Stanley Clark had some interesting and ground breaking albums, he should be below Jacko, Paul, Lee and Carol in terms of contributions to modern music. Victor Wooton should also be in the top 5.
 
Lee Sklar below Kiss? Vince Gill's bass player not even on the list? That rating was done by an amatuer.

Bogus... no Paul Goddard, no John McVie, no Greg Lake.

Just sayin'

Not even a mention of Francis "Rocco" Prestia.  Who OWNS one of the seminal bass driven (and way of playing) songs of all time???????

This just in:

Researchers are beginning to suspect that conducting polls at an 8 year old's slumber party may not produce results mirroring the views of the general populace.  In addition, it appears that Researchers and Investigative Journalists are like totally creepy.
