Im sat here listening to Sabbath on my mp4 player (better than watching britains got talent) and wondering who everyone thinks is the best rock/metal bassist.
I"m expecting a lot of diversity and probably names i"ve never even heard off but it should be interesting (no arguments guys this is a bit of fun).
My personal fave has to be "Geezer Butler"

Lemmy - not just for Motorhead but for the brilliant propulsive playing in Hawkwind (Space Ritual is a genuine must-have album)

All of the above mentioned so far had a huge impact on me....one other chap who I reckon always deserves a tip of the hat is Burke Shelley BUT!!! the best ever for me is (already mentioned) Billy Sheehan. I LOVE "BEST EVER THREADS" :)

+1 for [b]Cliff Williams[/b] - classic minimalist style, gets the job done and then some. Ditto for [b]Frank Bello[/b] (Anthrax).

When I think Metal bass, I don't usually think "flashy" - but [b]Rob Trujillo[/b] (Metallica) has been a monster for years, way back to the days of Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves:
