              My mistake… that’s the guitar player for Tool. I meant Justin Chancellor.

              As for everyone’s suggestions, yeah, Bootsy Collins prolly should be on there…

                ……..so I guess stand-up bass (Jimbo Wallace, Lee Rocker, Chris Wood) is out? As well as Mr. Mascis himself? Anybody here ever listen to the bassline on ‘Waistin’?? It’s beautiful! Or how about Charlie Hunter, maestro of the 8-string guitar, who plays the bassline AND the melody at the same time??

                Mix it up a little, Jaron! Better yet, how about a poll where people come up with their OWN responses? You aren’t really providing a cross-section of the music world, now. We’re really just voting, "Which one of Jaron’s picks do we agree with?"

                no offense intended,

                    Exactly. Polls are good, their should be more. Until it gets ridiculous then they should die down for a while but then come back in a good number. [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

                      Um…how about the "favorite guitarist besides J" poll? [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img] A small handful of musicians (albeit very talented & important ones), and none of them outside that circle you guys call "indie rock".

                      No ESP required, just a broader vision.

                        Are you refering to the choices I have? The bass player for Tool, Metallica, and Led Zeppellin… yep, you’re right, absolutely nothing outside of "indie rock." I apoligize.

                              The favorite guitarist besides J was the first poll I created so in retrospect I agree that there was`nt many options and I was mostly picking favorites;Spaceboy picked his fav songwriters so I thought I pick a few guitarists,there`s alot of other guitarists I like besides those 5;I agree it was`nt a great poll but I`ll try to learn on other polls to add more options and try to be more diversified.
                              By the way,I `ve heard at least 400 jazz albums before I ever bought an indie rock album.
