This discussion is worthless unless someone knows who is the leading pioneer of post pre modern gothic christian hardcore jazz metal.

There is no one more iconic than Jamerson in pop, R&B, Soul and funk bass playing. He was an influence to everyone playing bass (and even non bass players) from around 65 onwards. Look at the players in the Shadows of Motown book who have cited him as a major influence. That list is an A to Z of the best bass players on the planet at the time.

The timeline for most of the popular music played today goes back to the swing bands in the 30's, but "patient zero" for everything you hear now was Louis Jordan. Rock and Roll came from him and everything else has grown out of that.
