    I know what I'll get for saying this but here it goes:

    John Paul Jones and John Entwistle aren't really great players. The rest of their bands made them. If you put those in the top 10 then what about John McVie? You don't put Flea up there but those? And I love Pearl Jam and think Ament is a good player but not 'THE GREATEST IN ROCK'. I think Stone Temple Pilots have much better bass lines. 'Big Empty' is great and very haunting. As much as I don't Primus, Les is great.

    Flea is insane, he's in the top ten no doubt. Mother's Milk has some insane bass stuff. Plus Pea is the greatest song of all time.

    I'm not a big bassist conisseur, but I know whenever I'm listening to Cream's "Crossroads," I can't help but be blown away by both Clapton's guitar AND Ginger Baker's bass.

    Thats a good point!

    Ginger Baker was the drum, Jack Bruce was the bass player/vocals!
