JPJ still does a good bit of work. Plus that LZ money can't be too bad.

agreed. but i was thinking 70's money isn't shite compared to 2000's money.

Geezer went to school to be an accountant. So, he's probably made wise decisions with his money and not pissed it away on stupid crap. He's also got money from two of the top heavy metal bands of all time, can't hurt.
Jones was just prolific as all get out and worked very hard, even after Led Zeppelin was over.

Surprised to see Tony Kanal on the list, and ahead of Novoselic too.

Too bad the most talented bassists don't even sniff that list.

Paul McCartney is pretty damn good.
John Entwistle was the GOAT. RIP.

who knows? the list i posted was supposed to be from Forbes.

I'm talking about Les and Oteil Heady!!! Paul is extremely talented as a songwriter and musician. But he's not a great bassist.

Yes he is (or I guess 'was' is a better term)
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Something
Taxman
Day Tripper
Rain
Paperback Writer
Come Together
All great basslines. He is one of the best at melody. Of course he isn't a flashy lead like Claypool but he is one of the best at laying down a foundation.

Yeah. I actually would've expected to see Novoselic around #2. And Flea? That's just crazy! Maybe he made his fortune shooting Point Break.

He also was a voice actor

Flea is a huge filmhead. He has been in a lot of works

As is Sting.
Surprised Geddy Lee isn't on that list. For me, he's the best I've seen.
