I love Pearl Jam. I listen to their Sirius channel often. It's amusing when they run a "band member pick". They always pick the weirdest shite. The bassist is the worst. "I like their music as its more angular." Another guy (Stone) has his clip run often. He picks a Zepplin song and takes In The Evening?
This. Bassists are the absolute worst about this, but drummers can be guilty too. "Hey, listen to this track! Do you hear that mixed meter interplay between the bass and double pedal drumming!?" "Yes, but can you hear it over the suck?"
Often times, they'll pick these really weird songs that have really cool concepts embedded in them, but if said concept is not used in the creation of a "good" song, then what's the point? If these creative techniques are not used in an artful way, what's the point? Metal heads can be really bad about this. They'll make you listen to some song because of some really cool mixed meter breakdown, but it's barely audible over the fact that the "vocalist" is just screaming over everything and the distortion on the guitar is so heavy that all the notes run together. The interplay is lost so it just sounds like noise.

Bassists generally do have an underrated handle on theory beyond that bullshite though. I feel like they can get away with certain stuff but knowledge of theory especially for those of more of a jazz persuasion is underappreciated IMO.
