Re: Top 5 bassists
1) Brother Dee Dee (Without whom...)
2) Lemmy
3) Adny Shernoff
4) Dave Alexander
5) Gotta love Ian "Heavy Metal Semi-Ambulatory Coat Rack" Hill, too. If Metal's too unfashionable this week, I'll say Sir Sensible or Sir Matlock instead.
Top adorably raccoon-eyed bass players who are named Gaye Advert and make me wish I had an extra arm and a time machine:
1) Gaye Advert
