Jack is on the list. This is not an objective list. 10.) Most of the players on the list would rate Jaco Pastorius at the top of the list. A list of the best bassists that does not include Michael Been of The Call is not a valid list. Great Bassists should be known for what they contributed to the sound of a song. Sheehan has nowhere near the musical vocabulary that Victor does. And one of my personal favorites Roy Estrada, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, LITTLE FEAT. What about Greg Lake? Placing Cliff Burton ,Paul McCartney and John Paul Jones over Jaco Pastorius is just insulting. Geddy Lee. and the other one is Pedro Aznar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKfAjUggeE. A master of slinky laidback funk and one of the most open-minded musicians around, Hoodâs signature groove can be heard on everything from The Staple Singersâ âIâll Take You Thereâ to Clarence Carterâs âSnatching It Back.â. Can’t believe that Jack Cassidy (Hot Tuna) isn’t in the top 10! And they will tell you so . OK .. WHERE ARE MICHEAL ANTHONY (VAN HALEN) AND GENE SIMMONS (KISS) ????? Or famous? Nobody mentioned Andy West of the Dixie Dregs… Until now? NO BODY LIVING TODAY IS BETTER THAN VICTOR WOOTEN. He came to St James Park just a few days after the arrival of Lee Elam and Steve Tully. And Jaco is the greatest who ever livedâhe did more to shape the world of electric bass than anyone on this list. It’s ridiculous to say that one guy is better than another if he’s expressing himself though the art of music. No body is going to agree on this one…. I have always been a big fan of bass players and when I say this listing I had to go down the list. Well, most of you won’t know him but i miss Andy Smith of Mostly Autumn. Tina Weymouth only no.36? I have just committed the greatest sin— I have failed to place THE LATE GREAT JACK BRUCE, as one of the best,if not the best Bassist/ Vocalists of all time in the above mentioned list. Without Edgar Meyer, this is no list at all. WTF? Breeze, you were the first to mention Chuck Rainey. John Paul Jones better than JACK BRUCE â my ass. this list is bullshit!….where is Greg Ridley?????? I have seen him play in each decade since the 1970s and I am always impressed and disappointed with him not making this Top 50. Part of this deal saw manager Ian Hutchinson stay on until the end of the season. What she can’t do with a Bass Guitar. Jack Bruce I am familiar with and generally I’ve been impressed with what little Cream I have heard. Not a single Frank Zappa bass player on this list. John Greaves? No condemnation of his talent, but how is Flea ranked ahead of Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Chris Squire, and Charles Mingus? Both played with Pat Metheny at various times. Any list of this nature without Joe Osborn loses all credibility. Yeah..what he said. I guess not too many people are fans. GA - Feb 01, 2021. and Keith Richards is brilliant. He is very good, and I failed to give him credit where it was genuinely due. Nice to see him make the list but should be way up there! one what? I think these 3 would put most of them to shame. Just like all the drummers polls this is just a popularity contest, John Wetton should be high up on this list but there are Jazz Fusion bass players who can play rings around all these guys with one hand tied behind their backs, right…..Guys like Rick Laird, Tom Kennedy, Mbap Ettienne, Jaco, …………the true technicians ………. McCartney is the best. You like them, you attend their concerts and buy their recordings if they are still alive , when it comes down to it, that is all that matters. Thank you for saying Mel shocker GFR is so underrated!!! Tuff job…. Just listen to his workout on John’s ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ from Abbey Road. They climbed back up the table and reached the Premier League and then folded for five years and reformed. Not only on Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna but also on tracks on Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland and other sessions with other artists. Then of course there’s the guys not mentioned, like Jack Cassidy, Greg Lake and Ian Hill (Judas Priest) that must be on this list. To that add “The Word”, “And Your Bird Can Sing”, and the his masterpiece of the style “TAXMAN”. There are many I think should be on the list that aren’t, John Taylor, Tommy Shannon, Stuart Ham, Michael Anthony, Rudy Sarzo, John Myung, Dave Larue, Timothy B. Schmidt, Tal Wilkenfold, John McVee, Ross Valory Marco Mendozza, Gene Simmons or Tom (T-bone) Wolk. Tina Weymouth? I love McCartney but i wouldnt call him a great bass player. He could not only play it all but he created the hooks you heard all of those other guys use when they took it out on the road. Written some of the most iconic base lines. Rio are the best bass lines I ever came across! What? Paul M is better than Jaco ? BTW Jefferson Airplane had no rhythm section. but my favorites were in the Top 10. John Wetton Forest won the replay 2–0, in front of 6,500 fans at the Wessex Stadium and a live Sky TV audience. Allen Woody from, the Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule. He is not a technical wizard, but very solid. All you need mention about Chris Squire is listen to “Sound Chaser” to see how versatile he is, or anything by Geezer Butler to see that he’s an inventive genius. Far superior to his peers! While it’s hard to pass on Jaco, Mingus, Entwistle and Jack Cassady, I have to go with the groove master…Donald Duck Dunn. The subsequent champions' play-off with Kettering Town ended in a 1-1 draw. Andy Fraser – Free – He had Funk, before there was Funk!!!! How Tom and drummer Chester Thompson really pump thru all tricky FZ trade marks. On 26 June Weymouth announced that they would be entering a reserve side in the Dorset Premier League for the 2009–10 season under the management team of Dave Kiteley and Andy Mason, and that the first team would enter the Dorset Senior Cup competition for the first time since the 2002–03 season. You have one female on this list. Just because the band was/is great doesn’t mean that the individuals are great musicians. Seriously???!!! I Believe in Bea Miller. Jeff Berlin? If you are going to have Jazz Musicians on a list like this, you have to put them all at the top of the list. I think the voting is a popularity contest more than anything to do with talent. This coming from a long-time bassist. Michael Anthony was right for Van Halen and his harmony’s made many VH songs great, but he was not a great bass player. The first 4-5 Chicago albums were stellar and he was a damned good player back then. Being a forever Kinks fan, Pete Quaife, was a favorite though he was only on the earliest albums. But nice try. !, Larry Taylor, Canned Heat, John May all, etc!!! Please try to keep recent events in historical perspective and add more content related to non-recent events. Come on! This list is wacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where’s Norman Watt Roy? I know who I like, but that doesn’t make them the best, just my opinion. Jaco not in top 10 ? Heck, Stephen Stills is better than many of these guys. Woodstock, The man deserves an award for keeping up with the late great Alvin Lee. To me Jack Bruce will always the BEST. A nice list, half of which wouldn’t be worthy of lugging around Dusty Hill’s gig bag. Geddy Lee wipes the floor with all these other players. Very subjective topic. When you think of the stately, elegant sound of an acoustic jazz bass, itâs his work you probably have in mind. wheres Randy Coven? Who you guys been listening to. , Rick Danko The Band, Jack Cassady; Jefferson Airplane, Hugh Hopper; The Soft Machine, Adam Clayton; U2!! Bogus list. Jack Casadyâs four-decade conversation with Jorma Kaukonen in Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna has never been less than eloquent. manca uno splendido tim bogert dei vanilla fudge, cactus,bogert.page.appice, ecc. the whole list needs some shaking up i think. (I’ll throw in a plug for Dave Holland and Christian McBride.) John Lodge – Moody Blues, Mark Andies was a great bassist and Spirit was always underrated. I donât even think Paul should be on the list. How many people here are moaning at these guys because their “bassman” is not on the list. seasons. Really???!!! I’m not a metal guy but Steve Harris is phenomenal and maiden certainly not your average metal band. In 2005, the team held former European Champions Nottingham Forest to a 1–1 draw at the City Ground, before losing 2–0 in the replay. One of the criterias here was a distinctive bass sound – Steve Harrisâs bass playing is instantly recognisable particularly his trademark gallop. Pop, rock, funk, jazz, etc. Abraham Laboriel from Koinonia 8 Ticket to a Waterfall etc. The man is a bass god. Indeed follks; perennial winner of best bassist in Playboy Magazine’s highly regarded Jazz and Pop music poll, was like a brilliant lead bass player, climbing and winding his way around the gorgeous, soaring vocals of the Airplane’s gifted singers. Harrison is now looking at moving to another site and developing leisure facilities on the current land. Keith had previously played in the Football League for Newcastle United and Bournemouth, and was part of the Northern Ireland squad at the 1958 World Cup.[1]. So ridiculous! Is this is list of the MOST FAMOUS bass players or the ACTUALLY BEST bass players? Without Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Buddy Guy, Clapton and Page would just be a couple of guitar players. Cliff Burton He shouldn´t be in the list…. While others quietly supported the groove, Butler turned the bass into a blunt instrument. Weymouth won the penalty shoot out 5-3, to be crowned overall Southern League Premier champions. Jah Wobble is worth a mention also. He’s the most melodic player since McCartney. Mick Karn (Japan) & Jerry Casale (Devo) should be there. you should have made this best rock n roll bass players of all time.Cause you excluded Mingus,Bernard Edwards,Pino Paladino and a few others.And James Jameson played on 37 number one albums nobody else gets close to this accept maybe Sir Paul McCartney !! Carol Kaye very impressive, but mostly in studio, she played on so many of the big hits. Listen to the live “Don’t do It” from Rock of Ages. Rick Danko from The Band and Bob Dylan needs to be on the list. We stopped educating out kids on music diversity a long time ago. Half the times you think youâre hearing lead guitar on a Motörhead record (including the intro to âAce Of Spadesâ), itâs really Lemmy wailing away. Where is PETE QUAIFE of The KinKs. I’ve seen many on this list live. What about new guys like Hadrien Feraud or greats like John Pattitucci???!? He was also the bass player on Jimi’s famous Voodoo Chile recording. And that may not have even been his best work from a very versatile career. Good list but there’s a couple i’d put in they would be Gary Thain and Tal Wilkenfeld. 5. What about Glenn Hughes from Trapeze and more famously, Deep Purple. Tal Wilkenfeld. I am glad to see Entwistle at the top where he belongs. Victor is the best living bass player on the planet (Stanley Clarke probably a close second). This is total bull… Journalist and author Ian Ridley took control of the club in 2003–04 and his appointment of former Millwall, Leicester City and Birmingham City striker Steve Claridge as manager brought a new optimism. What a bunch of fucktards! I have no doubt he’s a damn good muso but from a complex technical point of view Billy Sheehan or Chris Squire for example would smash him out of the park. So from the heart. James Jamerson, Will Lee, Chuck Rainey, …. Tal Wilkenfeld? I’m sure there are many other awesome bass player out there and everyone has their favorites or opinions on who falls where in the list. Otherwise, a good list. Everybody who played bass with James Brown arguably deserves a place on any list of greatest bassists, but Bernard Odum was the bassist on two of funkâs most seminal texts, âPapaâs Got A Brand New Bagâ and âCold Sweat,â thus earning himself the title as one of the most influential bassists of his time. A list like this has got to be impossible to make. And me Gerald âTugboatâ Turner/ Digable Planets. Aside from his big band w. the Raelettes, Ray also had a quartet for 35 years. This list is ridiculous! As part of Elvisâ original trio (which didnât include drums during the Sun Records stage), Bill Black brought the essential cool of a slapback bass into 50s rockânâroll. The shares Nigel, members of the board and most other shares bought over the years were officially transferred into the Trust before the Terras home game with Frome Town on Easter Monday. David Paton? Well the list is not even in the same reality. No Jeff Berlin? Weymouth lost to Truro City 3–2 in a hard-fought match but Didcot Town also lost, 3–0 to Oxford City, therefore Weymouth had avoided their third relegation in succession. Still 50% is a FAIL! What about Dennis Dunaway of old Alice Cooper and Gary Thain of Uriah Heep? I agree Page. What about the Queen of Rock SUZI QUATRO!!!! My dog plays bass better than Simon Gallup. Miroslav Vitous, David Holland, Rick Lair, John Wetton…, i think this two guys must be in the list, the first one is Hugo Fatturuso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crBHlEorf7I The quintessential âquiet one,â John Entwistle could also be the noisiest one when the time was right. Felix Pappalardi-Mountain. Walter Page needs to be here. Far too many are not listening to the bass players, or do not like the genre that they play, and it is preventing them to make fair comparisons. 4.) Paul McCartney 5th????? They also played in concerts with many current artists. Jack should be number one if the Jazz players like Jaco weren’t on there. NO ???? Really! where is Bootsy?

I was more than a little disappointed to see the late John Glascock (Jethro Tull, Carmen) failed to make the list. show me bass players that want to emulate Entwistle.. = none Just repeat this sentence if you can. Some of these pollsters need to listen to more new wave. Mani (Gary Mounfield) from The Stone Roses and Primal Scream should be in there. No Felix Pappalardi? Deal with the Funk I saw them both in concert three times and never was less than amazed! I like Geddy but I still think Entwistle is a little better and that’s not a knock on Geddy Lee by any means but Entwistle…some of these people on this list couldn’t even carry his bass.

Jack Cassidy should be there and high up, too! Millions to say about all others. Ridiculous list. Especially check out 1:07-1:34.

He deserves that spot at the very least! I want some of what y’all are drinking!! Weather Report? you seriously underrated him. Paul McCartney at 5?
