He's crazy. I am not huge on Primus, but the bass lines in every song are sick.

Must mention John Deacon (Queen) - not just for his playing but also for his shunning of Fame & Celebrity! Now that IS refreshing!

I'll give you some great examples of where you would hear Simon's bass where it reflects his talent the most:

Fascination Street
Letter to Elise
A Forrest
Sinking
All Cats are Grey
Love Song
Play For Today
Piggy in the Mirror

I'm also a fan of Kim Deal. She really does make The Pixies what they are...it's not all Frank Black/Black Francis that makes their music what they are.

I'm also big into Rodger Walters of Pink Floyd, Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. They go without saying...
