Jaco Pastorius (as someone mentioned), Stanley Clarke, Billy Sheehan, Stuart Hamm should be on the list. I would put Squire around 5th - behind Wooten and 4 of my 5 (Hamm just below Squire).
Now theres a line up! Drop Squire and add in Rick Laird. I don't mean to be so down on Squire, I like him with Yes but he plays too much like a guitar player. I see lots of licks following Howes but he just lacks style too me. Not to mention THE PICK Using a pick limits the sounds you get out of your instument and the touch and it really comes out in Squires ratt-a-tatt- tatt style. In fact Bass players don't call it a pick, they call it a crutch.

What was the name of that Band Billy put together awhile back? I saw them in Frisco (they were great) but I forgot the name.

Alan White is an awfully good drummer, but I still don't think Collins gets the credit he deserves. And I'm not convinced Bruford's better, though I wouldn't argue it either way. And Bozzio is simply amazing - I did see UK with Bozzio, and I'm just now getting my jaw closed!
I saw Bozzio with Zappa and he is absolutely incredible! While we are on it Ansley Dunbar is something to see live also.
I totally agree with what you said about Phil just listen to Unorthodox Behavior.
I can't make the Bruford call either.
Alan White is also an awesome drummer who I think sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves.


Guitar Players? I don't even go there......
