Apart from Chris Squire, who else can we plectra players look to for inspiration? Everyone listed in these interminable "Who's the best?" lists appears to play finger style.

my three favorite rock bands from the 80s all featured bass players who used a pick,
nikki sixx (motley crue)
duff mckagen (guns n roses)
rachel bolan (skid row)
none of them were particularly flashy, but they all kept the groove very well and laid down some awesome pockets. Nikki and Rachel also were both the primary lyrical and musical writers in their respective bands.
