Good list. Sad Trevor Bolder seems to have slipped under the radar. Such is the peril of lists :)

Suzi Quatro is probably the best female bass player in rock music

The Game has John's best bass playing, IMHO. SASS is my favourite. That outro man!

Vocal Harmony Suzi Quatro was the first female bassist and still the very best. Suzi Influenced a host of female stars including Joan Jett.

Rick Be careful what you like cos "Vocal Harmony" will be on your bad with her acid tongue lol

There are some bassists who were more underrated than those ones. So underrated that they were overlooked for the list!

The guy who played fretless bass for Peter Gabriel was amazing.

Tony Levin = heart and soul of 80s+ King Crimson and Peter Gabriel sound. very unique tone and style.

although i don't think he's underrated - he's normally very well rated as he should be.

ok so after reading the list - i would argue that to music fans Tony Levin, Mike Dirnt and John Deacon are basically household names. and given the number of Queen, Green Day, and Genesis/PG fans out there, more are aware of Levin/Deacon/Dirnt than say, Jaco Pastorius, Les Claypool, or even Chris Squire and Steve Harris.

So those guys should have easily made that list.

John Deacon has been ignored for years yet he is an amazing Bass player and not opinionated idiot like John Entwislte who took delight in slagging John off in one of the Queen documentary's a number od years ago. Mr Deacon quietly gets on with his job and is humble and highly intelligent. More respect for John that is what i say !

i didnt think that John Entwistle was 'slagging john off' in the magic years
