1. John "Thunderfingers" Entwhistle, AKA the Ox. He just owns everyone D:
2. Mark Hoppus. Now, honestly, in Blink 182's start, he was the only talented member -_- and thanks to that he made a lot of great bass lines. And lead too

3. I'd have to go with Jim Creegan(of Barenaked Ladies). He mostly plays a double, or electric double bass, and I truly love the sound that he gets outta that thing. The lines he writes in combination with playing a double bass is just awesome in my opinion.

I can only get three... D: I don't really know enough bands to come up with others unless I just pick the ones from my favorite bands -_-

Blogs: Sad :(

Bands: Bowling for Soup, Plain White T's, Army of Freshmen, Barenaked Ladies

Heyy, I like Mark Hoppus too.

I'd list Robert Trujillo from Metallica, though I don't like Metallica that much, but it's a top 5 only.
