Green Alsatian Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 As with others, in no particular order, my favourite 10 bassmen: 1. Norman Watt-Roy (The Blockheads) 2. JJ Burnel (The Stranglers) 3. Bruce Foxton (The Jam) 4. Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) 5. Mark 'Bedders' Bedford (Madness) 6. Colin Moulding (XTC) 7. Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) 8. Dennis Dunaway (Alice Cooper) 9. Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings, on his tod) 10. James Jamerson (Motown) I could probably have stretched another 10 easily but it's the fellows above that I played along to when I was learning.
