what !!!!!???? Agree D.E. Peter Steele didn’t make this list?! Oteil Burbridge formerly of the Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks Band is a bad man. I’d put him in the top 3. Don’t even get me started on CUBAN bass players, but check out Cachaito and cachao fer sure. To not include on a list of bass players the genius who changed Jazz bass playing, and brought it to where it now stands is either a huge mistake, or complete stupidity…where on earth is Scott la Faro??????? How can you miss out John Gustafson. And Roger Waters at #13? Esperanza Spalding is arguably one of the few modern players who are doing the most to advance the art of bass. Common wisdom holds that the bass player is the âquiet oneâ in a band, playing essential parts of a song that you donât necessarily notice. What a bunch of fucktards!

No glen Hughes. then decide for yourself who is a real bassist. That’s what makes us – US ! He is the most fantastic bass player I have ever seen – Quadraphenia plays in my head when I hear his name. Jack Casady, Rob Wasserman, Dave Schools, Rick Danko, Krist Noveselic? top 3 minimum. True! Probably should just list them alphabetically since ‘best’ is the most subjective word in the English language! And James Dewar. My sentiment exactly, if you don’t believe it listen to Hot Tuna with Jarma…Duh! Jeff Ament, Peter Steele, Tom Petersson, Tom Hamilton, Bill Dickens. What about the ABBA genius basist Rutger Gunnarsson?? No list can be serious without Ron Carter on it at least somewhere. Jack should be number one if the Jazz players like Jaco weren’t on there. This ain’t! One issue is the improvisatory nature of the Grateful Deadâs music. Carol Kaye is the Queen. Bet if you asked any of the guys you mention, he’s Top Ten. Eddie Jackson from queensryche? Weymouth is pretty funky. We all have our favorites, and we know this isn’t a scientific ranking- just a poll of polls. This listis about half right. So from the heart. Yes just like the last time Jack Casady is missing, and loads of others..Besides bassplaying is not only reserved for the british, americans and canadians !! One of the most awesome bassists ever. Leaving Ron Carter off the list is denying a significant portion of Jazz History. They’d blow about 80% of the guys on this list right off stage! He could play a lead bass as well as Entwistle, and had licks as good as McCartney or Casady. …enough said. It is too bad she let herself go. and no Charlie Haden is a travesty. Jack Bruce should be Higher on the list, and Felix Pappalardi from Mountain, who also Produced Cream, should be right there also! Prove it!!!

Alex Webster-Cannibal Corpse Grateful Dead Phil Lesh T Shirt by Dye The Sky. 5.) Larry Taylor of Canned Heat and John Mayall. No Andy Fraser? For educational purposes only. And, Prince is right up there, too. I would only have icluded Leo Lyons. I do think Victor Wooten and others are too far down. he is a superb bassist, listen to his base solo at the end of” Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine”, he is consistenly ace on a Killers tracks. You forgot Mick Karn and Peter Principle – both very unique players…. To me, these guys can do anything that the rest of the guys on the list can do and sound great. Where is George Porter Jr (The Meters)??? The list is composed of just super famous and frontmen. 95. Roger Glover Who was a rock and roll star on stage? No list as short as 50 is going to include people that others think were left out that should have been included. This bass lesson is an excerpt from my recently released book, Bass ala Melodic Minor Modes. i didnt see Justin Chancellor o this list. I meant James Jammerson. No Jack Casady? Jason who took peters spot is great also, his dad was the b p for elvis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXHYy3f93uo. Danyel Morgan – formerly of Robert Randolph and the Family Band. The list missed Martin Turner ( Wishbone Ash), Jon Camp (Renaissance) and Peter Farrelly (Fruupp) though. Full-bodied sound like no other. No list is complete without the mighty Danny Thompson (Pentangle, Richard Thompson)… I’d add Paul Chambers, Jimmy Garrison, and Roger Glover, to name a few. Jamerson was the bassist who changed the way we envisioned playing bass. I can’t believe Mick was left out (although most new-wavers are) but I’m pretty sure Chuck was on this list. And Yes, Chris Squire too! Lee Sklar at 49? Also would like to see Jim Lea get an honourable mention, great bass player and all round musician. 2.) Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3 users. there’s just too much and too many …. No condemnation of his talent, but how is Flea ranked ahead of Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Chris Squire, and Charles Mingus? Nice effort, but Gerry McAvoy certainly belongs in the top 50. Donald ” Duck” Dunn should have been number 3. Phelix Paplardi,, outstanding bass man with one of the few 3 piece giants Mountain and producer for Cream. Years. All a commercially rigged poll! the list claims to include jazz musicians, but they really aren’t adequately represented. I agree….Paul Macartney better than many of lower ranked ones??? No John Deacon of Queen. You’ve got to be kidding. But thereâs bass players that werenât even considered that are better than half of the players on the list and Iâm one of them .i believe in the Muhammed Ali approach not political views on playing but obvious talent . I was there when he did. And on the jazz side Max Bennett and Ron Carter. No John McVie or Kim Deal??? And Peter Albin. Next time “Eight Miles High” crops up on your oldies station stop and take a listen. Chris Squire, 2nd. Bernard Edwards, Larry Graham and James Jamerson are ranked way too low. This list sucks. She also happened to play with the Stones in her spare time. RIP Chris Squire — died today from cancer … ranked #16 here … w-a-a-a-y too low. Jack Cassidy, from the Airplane and Hot Tuna, should be in the top 10, but he’s not even on the list! He has got to be considered in this list. Really???!!! It’s a POLL OF POLLS people!!!!! Best bass player from the punk era as far as I’m concerned. In 2000, Bill Kreutzmann, another Grateful Dead alumnus, joined the group, while Phil Lesh dropped out. Oh man ..you missed a lot, to name a few.. Richard Bona, John Patitucci, Jimmy Haslip, Stanley Clarke, Christian McBride, Gary Willis, Sean Malone, Esparanza Spalding, Avishai Cohen Bass driven, man. He changed how the instrument was played, just as Hendrix changed how the guitar was played. surely not a list of the greatest bass players without the man JACK CASSIDY!!!!! Bullshit!!! Carole Kaye indirectly taught most of these people how to play! He also played with Hendrix â albeit posthumously, on the studio-created Crash Landing. He’s not even top 500 base players in the world. Unbelievable! How can anyone leave JOE OSBORN of the Wrecking Crew off the list.Carol Kaye was better known, and deservedly so, but Osborn was right up there with her and played on 100’s of top pop hits, and 33 #1 hits in the Country field. Ronald LaPread from the Commodores should’ve got in there, Brick House was his finest hour!!! Gerry McAvoy from Rory Gallagher’s band, Dee Murray from Elton John’s band, Rick Richards from The Georgia Satellites – how can you only choose 50? no Jack Cassidy …Airplane and Hot Tuna! John Wetton? They also left out one of thee best…Larry Gaulke…Don Costaâs go to guy. I have had to re-appraise John Entwistle. Few bands had a Bass player as the integral string melody. About as credible as the Rolling Stones top 100 Guitar Player’s lists. After reading all the comments, I’m going back to listen to some early Peter Cetera and Carol Kaye. Where is Overend Watts? Go see them, they get better with age! Carol Kaye very impressive, but mostly in studio, she played on so many of the big hits. You also missed Willie Weeks. Personally I’d have Ray Brown a lot higher. Chris White (Zombies) Where would Walk on the Wild Side be without Herbie Flowers? After catching Keith Richardsâ ear, Spampinato played on his solo record Talk Is Cheap. I was thinking the same thing man! Without Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Buddy Guy, Clapton and Page would just be a couple of guitar players. No GPJr is absolutely awful. Aston Barrett, but no Robbie Shakespeare? Tina Weymouth? 20 ???? Casady, Geddy Lee, the guy from Van Halen…meh! Phil Lesh Basses Like many of his contemporaries, Lesh started out on a Gibson EB-0, before moving onto a Fender Precision Bass in 1968. James Jamerson, Will Lee, Chuck Rainey, …. Bob Glaub deserves to be on this list. He should be on the list as well. Here are the Top 200 Songs of The Who including the Top 50 by John Alec Entwistle (The Ox) – http://supergroup.netfirms.com/index5.htm, as always in your liste forget more than a thousand great bass players , and the 40 is too small and the ones aren´t all : Greg Lake , Mel Sacher, Tony Stevens, Roger Glover, Geezer Butler, Rick Grech, Leo Lyons,……the list continues. Agree 100%. I would also have expected Darryl Jones to be in there too. This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register. that fucking list!!! Sauveur Mallia? Good bass is down there holding the sound together not up in the treble trying to play lead on bass and muddying the whole thing. though not as good as he was.. but for me steve harris remain no.1. 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. Too sad we didnt make it much less the top ten. He should be #1, and you left off several jazz bassists, including Leroy Vinnegar. Who make these lists??? Jack Bruce, Jet Harris (ex Shadows), John Rostill, John Entwistle. No Danny Thompson? Better than almost the entire list but never gets any credit! I’m sorry, but any Top 50 list of bass players that has Flea in the top 3 has absolutely ZERO credibility!! This list does not include Prince and is therefore complete garbage, no Steve Harris on the list, what A shitfull list. “Mule” Listen to the song “Angel Eyes” the ending in particular is AWSOME. I guess not too many people are fans. Jamerson BARELY makes top 20. I don’t know who was surveyed and how you judged the meaning of best, but bassist number 12 through 32 would eat numbers 1 through 9 for lunch. McCartney not that great. There are no “best” just favorites. I’m not surprised. Heâs officially the most recorded bassist in jazz, with credits in early CTI fusion and modern benefits and soundtracks, but Ron Carter would still make the list of greatest bassists if he did nothing more than play in Miles Davisâ âSecond Great Quintetâ, where he and Tony Williams were a rhythm section for the ages. Paul Goddard of the Atlanta Rhythm Section should be in the top ten. Tal Wilkenfeld. 5. Impressive as Jack Bruceâs own parts were, he also gets credit for the leads he pushed Eric Clapton to play. Phil Lesh Alembic Miniature Bass is truly remarkable. Perpetually overlooked in Genesis, Mike Rutherford came up with one of progâs most lyrical basslines on âIn That Quiet Earthâ, from their Wind & Wuthering album. bassists requires 52 slots! But a better case can be made forMcCarney, IF you are talking rock. As I got older I really came to admire Lee Sklar and John McVie for their solid few-frills bottom end. Love, I love, love, love Kim Gordon and Tina Weymouth but neither of these ladies belongs on this list of top 200 bassists let alone top 50. hey! He is a songwriter who happens to play bass. His music left deafening echoes in a thousand other bands in the following decades, thrilling some, angering others, and disturbing everything â like art is supposed to do.â Gary Thain (uriah heep), Mel Scacher (gfr), Greg Lake (elp), Stu Cook (ccr), John Paul Jones 2nd???? I especially loved his bass playing on BURN DOWN THE MISSION. He really didnât even write much for the Beatles. Oh, sure. Alex Webster-Cannibal Corpse Possible there are no bassplayers in the rest of the world. 3.5 out of 5 stars 5. He inspired all these other players . As a bassist – yeah. I was torn between Getty Lee and John Paul Jones at the #1 spot since Jones is so much more than just a bass player so a coin toss was in order. Jim Kale for his work with The guess who and my favorite live album live at the paramount His bass skills actually surpass the skills of the 6-string guitar players for the bands in numbers 1 through 9. Its one thing if its a great song but if the song is notable because of how the Bass stands out and is unique, that is a true ‘top’ Bassist. Jack Casidy from the old rock school, and certainly Tal Wilkenfeld. Couldn’t agree more about John Entwistle’s placement. I believe Ron Carter appeared on more albums than anyone else. Personally I thought that Dee Murray was a terrific bass player and Mark King was pretty good to. What about Jack Cassidy of Jefferson Airplane , Larry Taylor Of Canned Heat. world underestimates what iron maiden made !

He is a very unique voice on the bass. Ray Brown….the DADDY…with Shelley Manne and Andre Previn…yes THAT Andre Previn! Phil Lesh During the latter half of the 1960's a type of music emerged called "The San Fransico Sound." No Flea? I love that style! Bob Daisley? For me he is the best bass player of the world! As far as talent. Clayton had to learn on the fly. I believe these 5 guys should be top 25: Paul McCartney just behind Geddy Lee and Flea? what about micheele d’gayochello and rudy sarzo? Once again the “best of in any category” is so subjective why do people start this shit it proves nothing and what are you basing this on popularity, education, talent, creativity, or limited knowledge on your part? That type of playing is typical throughout the concert. Four mighty strings, 50 mighty players. Anyone whos not a bassist or know little about the bass and who weilds it, never use this list of bass players as a reference of who’s better than who. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. The players on the list, and omissions are hardly anyone’s fault – they were collected from various polls on the internet. Your email address will not be published. He has also been more innovative than most. Tuff job…. He would still be on this list, I think, without being in the Beatles, and probably be regarded better as a pure player. Much of my top ten have been overlooked. Percy Jones of Brand X ?? Although NO is so obvious answer. Might have a better chance to honor more fine musicians. I remember thinking when I first saw the Talking Heads that she was lucky to have friends who cared enough to be patient with her boring lines. Order of merit very flawed list. Gordon consciously mimicked Lesh's choices in heads and cabs (but not other outboard gear). I suppose it’s down to personal taste….i don’t think that you can say one is better than the other…..musical taste,style and whatever. Same with Larry Mullin. No Ian Hill? One of a kind and not in the list ?? Plays on about 1/3 of everything you hear. Hows about Glyn Havard of Icarus the original group, who went on to Jade Warrior? Also, Jack Bruce at #8??? That’s called innovation. Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke could run circles around any of the top 10, same with Mingus, Dave Holland, Ron Carter, Scott Lafaro, etc. hey all you guys Tommy Shannon is the greatest! Why no Andy Faser? As one of the most exploratory jazz bassists out there, Charlie Haden expanded the sonic possibilities of double bass beginning with Ornette Colemanâs landmark album The Shape Of Jazz to Come. I love McCartney but i wouldnt call him a great bass player. Who you guys been listening to. Chirs Squireâs basslines in Yes were full of melodic imagination, and often the songâs main instrumental hook (see âRoundaboutâ. pretty clumsy list.. you have got to be kidding..McCartney ?? Big Thanks! Don’t rate McCartney, he was in the right band at the right time. During this time, Phil also had the task of handling the groupâs high vocal harmonies, at which he excelled with his near-perfect pitch. Jimmy Haslip from the Yellowjackets is outstanding. Well, most of you won’t know him but i miss Andy Smith of Mostly Autumn. But check out his wah-wah extravaganza on the deep track âOn The Silent Wings Of Freedomâ for one of prog rockâs great kick-it-out moments. Surprised not to see Tai Wilkenfeld on the list. Otherwise the list is good. He was also the bass player on Jimi’s famous Voodoo Chile recording. Some on the list are no more than good but great? Just because you are famous or have a memorable bass line in a famous song doesn’t make you great. Hate these lists! ” Tal Wilkenfeld ” she is awesome and can’t wait to seeing her live.. xxx. Lee got it. Agree Peter Cetera should absolutely be on this list, phenomenal player. Honestly Victor Wooten alongside Marcus Miller and Jaco pastorious and others should be at the top to say the least. Someone from the smooth urban jazz genre that should have mad the list is the late great NBA star Wayman Tisdale. You can’t compare Nathan East to John Entwistle or Paul McCartney but you can to Jaco Pastorius, where is Glen Cornick…base player Jethro Tull recently passed away .. Rest in piece cd Glen, What.. No Mention of the Bong rattlin’ bass of Mel Shacher (GFR)? I’ll miss him forever. More Grateful Dead albums Daveâs Picks Vol.31. Flea Entwistle- Top?-NAH. Eddie Macdonald, John Taylor and Adam Clayton to name but three. Try again, do more research, and dump the merely famous who were mediocre bassists at best, like frigging McCartney and Sting. Victor is the best living bass player on the planet (Stanley Clarke probably a close second). Being a forever Kinks fan, Pete Quaife, was a favorite though he was only on the earliest albums. NO BODY LIVING TODAY IS BETTER THAN VICTOR WOOTEN. Jack Cassady, John McVie and there should be a whole separate list for Jazz bassists. 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. Just happy seeing Phil Lynott and Lemmy there. Nobody heard of Nathan East?Who made this list? 51. Any mid-to-late Rush track evinces how Geddy Lee could do fiendish complexity while still rocking hard enough to drive a power trio (watch him talk to uDiscover Music about his time with the band. she played on every song in the 60’s. Where is Paul Chambers? Seeing a lot of those names on the list and names in the comments brought back many good memories. And Peter Cowling. Probably not the first bass player to record a side-long bass solo (on Return to Foreverâs 1978 live album) but perhaps the first to perform one youâd want to hear twice. 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. if Noel Redding was good enough for Jimi Hendrix he’s good enough to be on my list. Why would anybody, much less, any bass player exclude or forget to include Robert Gordon of Gil Scott-Heron’s Band or evan other expanding “firsts” type players, such as Dave Pegg or any of the Progressive Rock Gentle Giant Bass Players i.e. I love Roger Waters, but do not think for one minute, he belongs on this list. Lesh was more a catapult to parts further out. I think the voting is a popularity contest more than anything to do with talent. GERRY MCAVOY, from the Rory Gallagher Band has to be there. Jack Bruce and Greg Lake aren’t far behind. Please. Just listen to his workout on John’s ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ from Abbey Road. I never knew much about bass players because they were unsung heroes, but growing up in the late 60’s/early 70’s, my ears really picked up on John Entwistle of the Who and Mel Schaker of Grand Funk as standing out and dominant … but I am NOT a musician!!!
