    Favorite Rock Bassist

    My choice would be either Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy or John Paul Jones of Led Zep.

    Billy Sheehan
    Geddy Lee
    John Entwistle

    Honorable mention to Stanley Clarke. He's actually a jazz bass player, but he did tour with a rock band called the New Barbarians in 1979, and played some great shit with them.

          John Alderete (or Juan, depending on the band), of Racer X, The Mars Volta, numerous others. I can't say enough good things about him.

                    I was thinking the same thing too.

                    He sounds so bad ass on tunes like Dr.Feelgood
                    The name Sammy Hagar conjures up a variety of emotions from music fans--from hate to contempt, from disgust to revulsion.

                        Well, I'd agree, for sure...except that he wasn't a rock bassist...
