To be a great bassist you not only have to make a tight rhythm section, you gotta do something to stand apart from the lead instruments, or be able to match wits with them. But not just be barely audible in the background playing the same note over and over.

*cough*Cliff Williams*cough*
Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd make up one of the the best rhythm sections in rock music! Without going into dreary muzo ramblings about the way the Young brothers arrange their respective parts, if Cliff played anything other than the way he does, it wouldn't sound anywhere near as good. This happened when the "technically superior" Chris Slade was on the drums before Rudd returned. His busy style battled against the rhythm guitar instead of complementing it!

Ok, I'll add Mark King and Robbie Shakesphere to the list.

Is top 50 good? What would you guys recommend as their essential albums?

What's with all the dozens of new posters who have nothing more to contribute than posts with less than 5 words?

Yeah, we have little tollerance for you douchebags just trying to get your post counts up just so you can post a link advertising whatever sh*tty band you're a member of.

Updated this list out of pure boredom. Some of the essential albums have been changed. New members to the list are Nick Karn, Hugh Hopper, George Murray, Richard Sinclair, Youth, Mike Howlett, Horace Panter, Carl Radle and Fred Smith.

Youth is the only one of those I know. What bands are the other guys from?

It doesn't have to be electric bass just as long as it's in the context of rock and pop music.
