| | | | The genre "alt rock" has been around for about 20 years now. Some of these bands you've listed, although featuring worthy bassist, have only been contributing to the genre for a little over 5 years.
In any regard, these are my top 3;
Colin Greenwood- Radiohead
Kim Deal- The Pixies
Eric Avery- Janes Addiction

Ira Wolf Tuton - Yeasayer
Billy Gould - Faith No More
Ben Shepard - Soundgarden |

Simon Gallup - The Cure.
Andy Rourke - The Smiths.
