The Underappreciated

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

Steve Harris, Lemmy, Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Joey DeMaio, even Paul McCartney...
So much iconic music that wouldn't even exist without these bassists.
If you know, you know.
As in these aren't just bassists, but also primary song writers.
Any others y'all can think of?

Not many people realize Lemmy started out as a guitar player. That highly influenced his tone and style of playing bass.
