I don't agree with the results, or in fact, any "greatest" lists, but it's quite interesting none-the-less.

All the right bassists are there I think. Its more of a favorite bassist list, and considering Dream theater posted a 'Vote for John myung' on their website at a time where Portnoy has just left they are bound to get lots of hits on their site and in extention Musicradar


PS, I voted Myung :blush:
