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?

Jack Cassidy and Phil Lesh took the rock bass guitar where it never had gone before. Fat humbucking pick-ups on their Guild Starfires was the foundation of the San Francisco sound.
Who ever played bass on Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove deserves mention here as we'll.
