Levin is the king of the low end and the emperor of groove. His solo stuff is fabulous also, besides the usual suspects.
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Levin thrives on diversity. One only has to scan his associations,

Very underrated and a seriously talented guy

Victor Wooten. Sheer funk is the reason.

The softs need some representation here.Besides just for the bass lines in OUT Bloddy Rageous they may get a couple of votes.
By the way , for the three people thet voted Myung , do you know how to hear his work on DT albums? This ain't no joke I ve always wanted to hear him on the mix.

Chris Squire wins for me. But there was an interesting reply in  this poll : why don't we just give some options as :
 
Squire's performance on track X
Wooten's one on track Y
And so on...
 
Ok, I am a new member, a 'newbie', don't yell after me please Ouch.
PS : and for me it's ok if new members are less 'important' than older. Good for the structure.


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D
