I love reggae. I love rock. I don't feel either is 'above' the other, any more than yellow is above purple. Why the need to denigrate entire genres of music? Music is art, not a contest. 

I know no one has mentioned Tommy Shannon,imo the greatest blues rock bassist of his Era. When he retired and left Johnny Winter and went back home to Texas,Stevie Ray Vaughn tracked him down and asked him to unretire and join Double Trouble. Tommy had soul,knew that sometimes less is more and he created a groove that got your feet a tappin.
