Apologies if this has already been posted, but I stumbled across this: -

It's a list of their 30 'amazing unsung bassists' with sound clips to examples of their playing. It just helped pass 30 minutes of an otherwise dull day!

Cheers

Wot no Rick Kemp?!!

Rant Alert........

Only gone through the first few as my blood was starting to boil, and I've decided (early New Year resolution) to stop being a grumpy old man, BUT, most of these are NOT unsung - prime examples Bernard Edwards and Duck Dunn!!!!!!!!

OK, I'll accept Tommy Cogbill being unsung, but what a lack of thought by the compilers.


Oh, and no Tony Goggle

Rant over.

Geezer Butler!?!!!?!?

Of course there are thousands of unsung heroes of the bass world, but I do feel maybe Bobby Vega ought to get a mention. That guy GROOVES.

I agree with that far more than their 25 best bassists thing, some very good choices there (Matt Freeman) but Geezer Butler? Not exactluy unsung, he was on the 25 greatest list.

I wouldn't pay too much heed to these polls. They are largely irrelevant and attempt to measure the immeasurable. Its a bit like having a poll on which fruit is the best tasting.
