Best rock bass player

Today is the 11th anniversary of John Entwistle's death. I had the pleasure of seeing him play live a few times and was always impressed by his musicality and ability to keep up with Keith Moon- much less lay a foundation for Pete Townshend. I also have always enjoyed Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, and Flea for similar reasons. Who are some of your favorites?

These days I would say either Geddy Lee or John Myung.

jack cassidy of the Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna. Listen to any live Airplane album and you will hear how he unobtrusively drives the band intensely forward.

Jack Bruce is a technical great, but when playing with Cream went off on his own path during songs instead of laying down a strong bass line.

In my time its Geddy Lee and Chris Squire. I saw them many time's since the late 70s.Most recently...Geddy Lee with the Clockwork Angels tour. In August of 2013 I saw the so called Yes....even though they were pretty good. They can never really be Yes without Jon and Rick.
