Andy Rourke! Norman Watt-Roy! Jerry Scheff! John Deacon!

Waiting for the unknown list, Doug Rauch *must* be on it...

Was cool to see Danko and Peter Quaife. Dee Murray shoulda been on there.

At least they got Duck Dunn, Bob Babbitt and Jerry Scheff.

Sorry they left out John Lodge of the Moody Blues!

I think Greg Lake is one of the most underrated well known bass players.

Good list, but Dee Dee Ramone?!?!?   Seriously?

Dee Murray always seems to be the one everyone forgets.  Even on bass boards, it's usually a few pages before someone remembers him.  And, I would love to see Gary Thain on one of these lists someday.

I'm glad they got Ronnie Baker on the list.  Some of the greatest lines ever IMHO.

Scan down the page a bit and you'll find a set of compact photos that you can scan left and right easily.
