Some of my favs are Adam Clayton of U2, Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads, Daryl Jones (he played with Sting on Dream of the Blue Turtles and has played with many others) and if you ever get the chance, check out a guy named Jimmy Rowser who played with Les McCann and is on the "Les McCann Live at Monteaux" album. He's been a particular favourite for years. Listening to Jimmy Rowser is like listening to your heartbeat. There are of course many others...oh yeah John McVie from Fleetwood Mac.
