No bass player changed the instrument like Rocco and very few have been able to live up to his ability.

I was doing some wikapedia-ing a few days ago, and I read that the bass line to that song was first thought of and played by Yorke, not Greenwood.

I thought it was kind of funny that Radiohead's most famous bassline was not created by the bass player

HA!!! You effer. This was the first one to pop into my head when I read the thread title and I was scrolling through to see if anyone posted it. Almost made it to the end of the thread.

Awesome bass for sure.
