Tater Totts Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hmm probably Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen JR from U2 for the fact that Bono and The Edge are so well known and out there in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Not the most, but I always felt that Charlie Watts is overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made my list too.George Harrison - The BeatlesJohn Paul Jones - Led ZeppelinRobby Krieger - The DoorsRay Manzarek - The DoorsGeezer Butler - Black SabbathMick Taylor - The Rolling StonesMike Campbell - Tom Petty & The HeartbreakersIzzy Stradlin - Guns N' RosesRichard Wright - Pink FloydEd O'Brien - RadioheadEDIT: John Densmore from the Doors was a really great drummer too, I like his jazz style with the psychedelic/rock music. Good fit.And no, JPJ shouldn't be #1 for Lemon Song, he should be #1 because of No Quarter Edited March 12, 2009 by mr. orangestone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downinahole Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 majority are bass players lol possible an underrated skill easy to play but difficult to be a great bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.A. Guns Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't think JPJ or Harrison are that overlooked.And I think that other guy from Sabbath is more overlooked than Geezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. orangestone Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't think JPJ or Harrison are that overlooked.And I think that other guy from Sabbath is more overlooked than Geezer.Bill Ward? He was a pretty good drummer, but can barely play anymore.JPJ doesn't get the credit he deserves, especially when Page+Plant reunited in the 90s and didn't involve him at all. He played some great keys & mandolin lives, was a good bass player, and wrote some good songs.Harrison definitely gets credit, but everything is Lennon/McCartney to most people. He wrote some of their best songs like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, and Here Comes the Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameslofton29 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This list would have been solid had Ben Shepard been at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 James Dean Bradfield & Roddy Bottom. Maybe it's just the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Wolf Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 What about John Deacon? The man wrote numerous hits (I Want To Break Free, Another One Bites The Dust, You're My Best Friend...) and is a really good bassist.I guess it's typical for bassists to be overlooked.And Izzy of course.
