Votes should be on performance, influence and presence!

Obvious ones who were left out due to the '10 options' limit... Tom Araya, Jonas Björler, Jaco Pastoras, Sid Vicious...

I was torn between the steve harris gallop and the silly but technical shit that is les claypool lol

Infectious grooves had alot of cool bass playing, probably the closest to a funk player on that list... well I guess there is Flea lol

what about that cat that played in Living colour? or Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan (Joe Satriani and David Lee Roth bands respectively I think).

What about Geezer Butler ;)..... he was good at what a bass player should do...... sit back and drive the guitars ;)........ its all about guitars and drums ;)......

well Sam, it is a metal forum, so one would expect a metal dominated poll, and in general there arent many brothers playing rock/metal..... the genre(s) is dominated by whitie..... but I believe Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies / IG / Ozzy Osbourne / Metallica) has darker coloured skin than the other fellows on this list.....

Haha yeah Geezer was on the inital list as well!

And Sam Lightning Bolt are the shit! but since he has a guitar string on his bass as well does that count?

predominantly yeah it is..... most of the people that post here have a passion for rock/metal/hardcore... aggressive styled alternative music..... and the blood red $lave logo also looks pretty metal...... and most of the bands on the label are also pretty metal :P

Cliff Burton for me, although I do have to wonder why Lemmy didn't make the cut?
