Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know if anyone's done this before, but I came up with a list of CD's [I think] every bassist should own. I left out very obvious ones because I need suggestions from you guys!
On with the list:
1. Rancid - And Out Come the Wolves
2. Alien Ant Farm - ANThology
3. Audioslave - Not real sure, I love them both. Suggestions wanted!
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
5. Green Day - Dookie
6. Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire
7. Led Zeppelin - Suggestions wanted!
8. Tool - Lateralus
9. Los Lonely Boys - Self Titled
10. Metallica - Master of Puppets or Ride The Lightning (which do you reccomend?)
11. Dream Theater - Train of Thought
12. The Les Claypool Ferocious Flying Frog Brigade - Purple Onion
13. Rush - Rush In Rio (suggestions wanted)
14. Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
15. Infectious Grooves - Sarsippius' Ark
16. Victor Wooten - Suggestions wanted!
17. Yes - Ultimate Yes (Disc 1)
18. Voodoo Glow Skulls - The Band Geek Mafia
Now obviously, you guys are thinking, "Where the hell is Stanley, and Larry Graham, and Jaco?!" I need suggestions of what CDs by them are good.
So is this a good list, or no?

You've covered some interesting titles. Some I have, some I should get. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never heard Jaco or Victor.
I've heard OF them, but never heard their stuff.

I really enjoyed it at the time, but I dunno, I sorta stopped listening to bass as much as I fanatically was. I think the article had Led Zep. 2 and Weather Report's Heavy Weather album for Jaco, a yes album, a tower of power album, I know oscar Peterson's Night Train was on there for Ray Brown (really a great album not only for Ray Brown but Oscar Peterson as well). Marcus Miller's a show of hands was on it. Some Vic Wooten album was. A beatles on too. All in all it was generally a "safe" list.
But like i said I really don't listen to many bass players as much.
I know I really really freaken love this band Dredg though......just beautiful....and everyone is amazing.
good luck,

As for Victor Wooten, gotta go with A Show of Hands (funkedup, that was Vic, not MM). All bass, all the time.
Hey, try out Primus - Rhinoplasty (gotta love Les Claypool playing Stanley Clarke!)
And Cream - definitely Cream. And Pink Floyd, DSOTM.
=0)

I do not own any of the albums on your list.
Does this make me a bad person, or merely a bad bassist??

Erykah Badu - Live (Hubert Eaves IV on bass)
Eaves playing on this album is excellent and his tone is amazing.

Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
This is seriously some of the best hip hop bass playing I've ever heard.

Just my opinion...no disrespect. Yours seem kinda pigeonholed, genre wise...
Where's the Beatles? Where's the PFunk? The Motown? The alternative edgy stuff? I could go on...world music, acid jazz...etc, etc...
That's really the only problem with these lists is that they are so personal perspective. I for one have no use for Flying Frog Brigade, but the next guy may.
