Best rock bass player


Today is the 11th anniversary of John Entwistle's death. I had the pleasure of seeing him play live a few times and was always impressed by his musicality and ability to keep up with Keith Moon- much less lay a foundation for Pete Townshend. I also have always enjoyed Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, and Flea for similar reasons. Who are some of your favorites?

@chowkwan - fyi - there's another thread under music that begins with 'Great Rock Bassists' that's a lot more recent than this one, which is almost 4 years old. And yeah, Lee Sklar is a great bassist! 

Larry Taylor, Phil Lesh, Jack Cassidy, Jaco, and yea, gotta throw McCartney in there. Always liked his style.
