Be sure to give his/her name and 1 or 2 songs that prove he/she is a genius.

Mine would have to be Les Claypool of Primus
1) The Awakening
2) Jerry was a Race Car Driver

My favourite bassist must be Jack Lawrence, he's the bassist from The Raconteurs and here's some links that prove that he's the best bassist.

I don't know what most of these sound like so I won't reply to anyone except for Game_Guy121 and ivdk.

@Game_Guy121: T-Pain is retarded.

@ivdk: Jack is a very good player with a good style and integral to the Raconteurs. (from what I can tell) But he is not as good as the 3 I have listed so far technically. But maybe I haven't explored far enough into his music...

Les Claypool ROCKS, but I like someone of the name of Fieldy (from KoRn) better.

oops, a few songs by KoRn are as follows:
1.Ball Tongue
2.Ya'll Want A Single
3.Haze
4.Thoughtless

If you don't like these songs (other than the vocals, but I personally like they're vocals)Then you've got to bo CrAzY
