Most of those bassists are probably better than Myung.

Myung is very technically proficient. He is able to double Petrucci's guitarwork effectively - he has some very fast fingerwork.

But I have never heard him write anything remotely interesting - and I haven't heard any groove from him.

I'm not saying, Myung can't write interesting or groovy basslines (he probably can), but I haven't seen any yet. Even when he does, I highly doubt he could compete with Pastorius, Wooten etc.

I find Mike Portnoy to be quite a good drummer. But there are better drummers. Personally, I find Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Martin Lopez, Mike Mangini, and many jazz drummers superior to Portnoy either because they're more technical, have more interesting styles/drumlines or just have better feel.

Don't get me wrong though - Portnoy is quite skilled and from what I've heard of Dream Theater, he's improving.

I don't have any LTE Cds yet. They seem pretty hard to find. What is their best one ?
Number two by far, but get them both.

Emerson has proven that he could do it firsthand...And i was serious about Yes, their musicians are always top of the line.

And being educated in theory dosent automaticly make you a good musician or a very skilled one at that.

Some of the best musicians around cant even read sheet music...Music is a universial thing, its not limited to just a bunch of notes on a sheet of paper.
Some nice points here.

Billy Sheenan gives Myung a run for his money...And listen to some Tony Levin, hes the most consistant session bassist for a good reason, hes a technical wizard and he cannot be touched by mere mortals, Myung is only a half-god compared to Levin in my opinion.

And though Chris Squire and John Wetton arent as technicaly skilled as Myung, i would still rather see them perform live in a heartbeat.

Dave Grohl... very good drummer and I'm not saying that 'cause I'm a huge Nirvana fan but I voted Keith Moon.

Keith Moon is not that skilled technically .... just puts on quiet the show
