If you had to pick one over the other, would you pick Geddy Lee, or Jaco Pastorius?

This poll should have had Flea and Mick Karn because there styles are a lot more similar to each other than Geddy and Jaco.

rabbits?


Entwistle could punch either of them out without even moving. And he had a better guitar/bass collection by far.

I like both Geddy and Jaco....basses. Other than that they are nothing alike playing wise so this isnt a good comparison.

Seriously??? Geddy is a fine musician, but he is not even close to Jaco.

Geddy wins because he is a Canadian elf.


Seriously... Geddy all the way. He wrote the bass lines for "YYZ" and "Red Barchetta", sings AND plays keyboards..... at the same time. Say no more.

Geddy all the way I dont like Jaco, playing wise I heavily prefer geddy, who can play bass that great, sing and play keyboard?

Personality wise geddy is still alive because he has a better one and seems way more realistic and less egotistic

Wait, why are we comparing Vernon Geddy to Charles Jaco? They're not even bass players!
