Ha! Nicely done.

They put Entwistle, Pastorius, Levin, Wooten, and Meyer in there, so they covered much of my top 10 of all time. The only one I think they should have included was Bruce Thomas from the Attractions (Elvis Costello) who I believe is one of the best bass players of all time for pop/rock/alternative music.

Didn't mention Brit-Funk ace Mark King (Level 42), either…
Bruce Thomas has never been on my radar, can you recommend a representative Attractions album for me?

 

[Flint]

Check out "This Year's Girl" from Elvis Costello's album, This Year's Model.

Nice! I'll have to make a list of some of the tracks mentioned in the vid along with the Costello track Flint mentioned.

 

[Flint]

I've been playing the entire "This Year's Model" album and the bass playing is amazing. In fact, some of the songs wouldn't even be listenable without the bass.

Thanks! :handgestures-thumbup:

That was very cool.

Flint, I agree with your list but I gotta throw Jamerson in there too. that guy was cool, and Squire.

Don't forget this guy.................

As much as I love Yes, sometimes I wonder if I should have went with Rushfan70 for a username.......
