Take a look!
Although there are 200 performances, we can find our John four times on the list.
Give your opinions! It's a matter of tastes of course.

The Game had to be in the top 20 of best Bass-albums!
I think the same way as you.
62. Dragon Attack - John Deacon (Queen)
75. Another One Bites The Dust - John Deacon (Queen)
157. Under Pressure - John Deacon (Queen)
158. Father To Son - John Deacon (Queen)
I'm glad to see Father to Son in there as a not so obvious (but great) choice, although I would put it much higher!

How about Liar and Now I'm Here?Great playing on both those two songs.
its great to see deaks recognised like that. But look at the best bass riffs on that same page and isnt AOBTD first.
I'd like to see "Millionare Waltz" on that list.
Magnificent played. Also very difficult, especially doing it in time with the piano and no drums to hide behind... No click track here, I tell ya!
