Some of his stuff on earlier GFR stuff (like the live album) was great stuff...some of the first "lead" bass licks I've ever heard.
Top 10 lists are fine, I look at 'em to see others points of view.

10. a complete and utter waste of time | Oh man, that's brilliant. I make too many of those awful lists myself, and when I see a list like the one here (Mel Schacher but no JACK BRUCE) it reminds me how stupid they are. Great list on your part though.
