The oft forgotten but integral part of the rock band: who are your best bassists of all time?

mccartney, entwistle, the guy who recently passed away from yes comes to mind..chris squire i think his name was...

Jaco

Victor Wooten
I've gotten so much studying done to these two songs. What that guy can accomplish on the bass is unreal.
-
Stanley Clarke. Got to see him, Chick Corea, and Al DiMeola in Return to Forever at Nautica maybe 8 years ago. Fantastic show even if the sound guy screwed up Al's guitar. Stanley was making panties drop. Never seen anyone who could work an upright bass like this dude.
Geddy Lee - even if you're a Rush hater, you've got to respect the talent that Geddy possesses.

token you're black. Your family has a bass guitar.
-
Jaco Pastorius - even though I can't get into his music as much as I try
Les Claypool - because Primus Sucks!
Victor Wooten - them little sausage fingers can move

Stanley Clarke.
Was there an actual question?

Not sure if you meant who people believe is the best bass player or who is their favorite bass player.
I know nothing about playing music but, is it fair to say, that good bass players are like Offensive Linemen in the NFL. The better job they do, the less you hear about them?
The BEST doesn't necessarily mean the most flamboyant or - even - the most technically sound since, for the most part, Rock bass players do not play a featured roll.
Clearly, some jazz folks - Stanley Clarke, for one - are more sophisticated and play a more featured roll. However, like Clarke, they probably also write and arrange music.
IMHO, asking about the best Rock bassists is a stretch in and of itself,

Entwhistle had always been considered the cream of the crop....but, No love for Bill Wyman?
Add John Deacon..Queen, John Paul Jones of Herman's Hermits fame
, and Donald Duck Dunn..Blues Brothers -
The guy from The Doors

Trying too hard to qualify it. John entwhistle, flea, mccartney, claypool these guys have universal acclaim but if jazz guys come up good. They probably never get the due that they deserve

Swedish bass player named Dean Peer popped into my head the other nite. I only know him due to a track named Lord's Tundra that made a Stereophile test CD years ago. Solo bass track full of thumping and harmonics and very inventive stuff.
Only copy I found online and gives only a sense of its impact (parts shake the rafters), but worth a couple minutes of your time.
I always meant to find a copy of a CD by him, but never was able to. I see some now.
Aside... one of the pair of speakers videoed look like EPI's... maybe Juniors (?).... the 2-ways with the inverted dome tweeter.

Glenn Hughes just had great meter. knew how to push the songs. He's more known for his bluesy style of singing.. And he's played and sang with just about every hot shit guitarist you can think of... Undervalued artist IMO for his Genre.
