I choose Geddy. I don't know why, I just have an unending admiration for what he does with Rush.

No Chris Squire? This thread will probably turn into hundreds of posts that say "Why isn't [enter name here] included in the poll?"

Sid Vicious. Hell yes.

Judging by how (un)skilled I am, you'd figure he was my idol at least.

I picked Claypool from that list but Maca, Jamerson and Babbit should be on that list.

Flea for his slap skills and tasty lines that support but don't overpower the rest of the song. One thing that I have always loved about his lines is that he seems to follow the kick most of the time. It makes the whole rhythm section come alive IMO. I also liekt he guy from Dave Matthews Band. He has some nice licks too.
