You just know someone's also itching to say Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton, because ALL bass players are just failed guitar players anyway.

They should have called it "25 Bassists Whose Names are Most Prevalent in Online Culture."

That sums it up pretty well. I don't recognize about one-third of those names.  Hard to respect the votes of any poll like this where the Duck isn't in the top 25.
