Also, there are a few on there I don't think I'd classify as "rock" bassists. Even so, it's a fun list to review.

I also think Glenn Hughes should make an appearance on the list, and be pretty far up there to boot.

And Enwhistles version of The Real Me, IMO, was overshadowed by Johnny Rod (WASP), yet it made it into the top 5.

At least they got it right in his case. Still can't understand why there are so many others on the list who are not Rock bassists.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia | | | OK, OK. Jeez. So I'm guilty of not reading ALL the facts first. But like CraigC said, there are also a few bassists on the list who I wouldn't necessarily consider rock bass players either. But, I see the error of my ways. Thank you all so much for pointing that out. lol |

Thank you all so much for pointing that out. lol | I wasn't trying to give you a hard time (well, maybe just a little  ) I was more trying to point out the overall inconsistency of the site. Gotta wonder why someone would go to all the trouble of assembling lists that are so flawed.

And I'd question a LOT of those as well - Justin Chancellor isn't on there and neither is Mike Inez. Both great bassists who are inarguably better than a lot of others who made the list.
