| | | | 'Blizzard of Ozz' and 'Diary of a Madman' with Bob Daisley. (Only the original, not the remastered crap with scabs) |

If you are a rock bassist... this should be your bible.

| | | | Howzabout:
Money Jungle - Mingus plays way out, anchored by Max Roach and the master, Duke Elllington.
King Crimson - Red - John Wetton's lead bass lines are slinky and scary. Great stuff.
Oysterhead - Grand Pecking Order - Les Claypool's bass experiments smeared over Trey Anastasio's guitar textures and Stewart Copeland's percussive precision. Wild & Weird.
Black Sabbath - Sabotage & Vol. 4 - Geezer Rocks Out!
Rush - Presto / Grace Under Pressure / Counterparts - Geddy at the top of his game.
Pink Floyd - Animals - Waters' bass playing up front and perfectly complimenting the rest of the band on both melodic and rhythmic fronts. Epic.

Thanks, Rob | Try and hunt down "Ragin Full-On" from "fIREHOSE"... Mike Watt was a huge influence on me.
and I moved this to recordings to get you some more answers |

Each one contains some fairly bombastic bass playing, and it's a real chance of pace for Stu. Very interesting, with some stunning arrangements. Plus, Frank and Steve really go at it too, resulting in some very passionate and powerful music. |

and if you're comedy prog rock inclined i'd suggest 'Make A Jazz Noise Here' and 'The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life' by Frank Zappa

Well... like the christian bible... it is very thick and contains many books... and naked people wear leaves over their junk.

Their second album "I'm The Man" is also very good. They reformed in 2004 and released "Volume 4" - If you liked the first two, you'd probably like it too.
other recommendations:
Oteil and The Peacemakers
ANY album by The Who
"Freefall" by The Dixie Dregs
"Abbey Road" by...who was that?
