this confuses me when i see mcartney on your list. yes, he wrote alot of great songs, but as a bassist, i don't hear anything from him, throughout his entire catalog that was all that special. when i see your synopsis on noel redding, i mostly agree, but in my mind, the general theme of it could apply to mcartney. i just don't see what it is that makes him so special as a bassist.
