@jerryg123  - Walking on the Moon has probably one of the best bass lines in a rock song. So I would have to disagree with you on Sting.

Paul McCartney, Flea, Carl Radle and Cliff Hugo come to mind.

Heard Flea and Hugo many times live as I've been an LA resident since 1977,

Radle just once live.

Wasn't a Jack Bruce fan (saw Cream) until his later years.

Got to give Roger Waters a mention as some of his bass lines are imbedded in my brain - to the end.

McCarthy is probably my favorite with his subtle/brainy stuff.

@roxy54 ​​​​@deludedaudiophile : Opinions are like/ That's why I asked for YOU TOP10. Not to challenge my list.

You can ask all you want, but you got as much time and thought as I was willing to put into it.  You can find a 100, top10, top25, top100 bass guitar lists on the web. I think you will do just fine without one more.

 

Wow, JPJ doesn’t even get a mention. He was the GLUE of Zepp.

Sting… 

Geddy…

really? Nothing? Too many to list. To each his (or her) own.
