Why-Oh-Why July?

[Sweder]

Got to thinking . . . fave bass players of all time?
Here's some of mine . . .

John Paul Jones (LZ and many others). Anyone who can keep up with Bonham is simply the best around.
Trevor Bolder (Spiders, Uriah Heep). Virtuoso performer; the best bass solo I've ever seen live.
John Entwhistle. My Generation anyone?
Jean Jacques Burnel (Stranglers). Raucous throbbing bass lines, outrageous sex-appeal, supreme macho posturing.
Stanley Clark (Return To Forever). Saw him play with Stewart Copeland & Deborah Holland in Animal Logic. Awesome.
Bruce Foxton. Essential to that fabulous Jam sound.
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden). Heartbeat of the band; incredible speed for a finger-plucker.

Singing bassists worth a mention:
Geddy Lee (Rush)
Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)
