The best bass players of all time, ranked
25. Lemmy Kilmister
Another iconic figure in the rock world and one of the most influential heavy metal figures of all time. With Lemmy, it was always more about the man than the musician. And that should not be considered a slight on his professional work. One of the true characters in all of heavy metal, Lemmy was the driving force behind Motorhead, which had a major influence on the likes of Metallica and Slayer. While his image as a chain-smoking, joke-telling, foul-mouthed living-life-my-way persona made him a star, Lemmy's bass playing was nothing to cast off. He infused high-powered distortion to his bass and had just as many amps on stage as Motorhead's guitarist.

1. John Entwistle
Affectionately known as "The Ox." It's never an easy task to single out the best on such a list, but when it comes to playing the bass, Entwistle takes the crown because he could do just about anything with the instrument. The Who’s sound had a wide and expansive range and seemed to change — often for the better — with the times. Entwistle was more than able to keep up and excel. His high-treble, high-volume sound was synonymous with the band's success. "Boris the Spider" and “My Wife” are just a couple of the stoic Entwistle’s major contributions to The Who’s legacy, while his underrated performance on "Won't Get Fooled Again" is a true hidden gem.
End of.
Oh Yeah and Pete Way.
