| I'm going to go for Dennis as one of my earliest bass influences. He's done some great stuff. |

| Love what Geezer's done on bass, but I never really listened to Alice Cooper - I know one song only - School's Out For Summer. |

^ & ^^ - Many thanks, fine folks out there at PA. So I think I know everything, but really only a fraction........ I think some investigating is needed with this Cooper mob....... |

Dennis Dunaway, an obscenely underrated bass player amongst obscenely underrated musicians in the original Alice Cooper band. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Wow, I detect some high praise for these guys........ When I was very young, this dude, well, the singer guy with the makeup, scared the sh*t out of me, I avoided him like the plague............... Now being into sh*t ten times dodgier than him/them (in both directions  ) I feel the need to check Alice out......

I'd not seen this poll before, and I'm voting for GEEZ! The guy's awesome. Listen to "N.I.B." from the very first album. And he only got better. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I thought the same until I found out Buxton didn't play much on Billion Dollar Babies.

| Both are really great, also have a lot in common as a style and sounds. Hard decision, but I´ll take Geezer. |

To be honest...I have never really paid attention to either bassist before.....so I voted for Dunaway to tie things up. ;) ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Geezer is a great bassist, listen carefully especially to their classic work.
