Squire. I mean, come on, he wrote a song just using bass guitars (The
Fish, in case you don't know). I will give some credit to Waters. He is
a good songwriter,however, he hasn't written a song just for bass
guitars (that I know of). Technically, Squire wins as well.

Squire. Waters isn't anything special at all, when it comes to bass. Mediocre at best.

| Technically there is no comparison at all - Squire wins hands down. Waters is an average bass player, well suited to PF's sound but no virtuoso - however, he's one of the best-ever lyricists and songwriters. |

Bit unfair, Roger Waters started off playing lead/rhythm guitar. Geddy Lee is my man. |

Strictly as a bass player, Chris Squire walks all over Mr. Waters. Now, if you bring songwriting into the formula, I'd give the nod to Mr. Waters. |

Before listening to Chris Squire's work on Yes, I didn't know that such technical skill can be displayed on bass (although I am fairly new to progressive rock.) Squire, no question. ------------- - You have just witnessed a post by SymphoniColburn! |

I'm wondering why you even considered putting Roger in this poll. If you like him enough to compare him to Squire then I guess it's good you can see some good in his playing, there are very few of us that can. Mabey Squire vs. Lee or something a little more chiche`. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |
