Second Coming has amazing bass runs, easily as intricate as the guitar playing on that album. Also, Primal Screams "Exterminator" was actually built around his bass-lines. Still one of my favourite albums.

I can get behind this. Love Spreads is like a wall of sound covered by a tapestry of sound with little sound pictures and sconces hung all over it. The bass work on that and Breakin' into heaven is astoundingly good, but gets lost in part because everything works together so perfectly that it's hard to pick out the excellence of any one part, so you throw up your hands, throw back your head and scream, "This Shit ROCKS," and then it's over and the next stunt bassist that comes along impresses the Stone roses right out of mind.
Actually, based on the replies I got on Barry Oakley, I would have to put this bassist, whoever he is, in that class.

As for DMB the bass player is Stefan Lessard. This guy was blowing the doors off the hinges with DMB at the ripe young age of 16. He's already a monster and hasn't even reached his prime. Keep a eye on him. |
Bought my acoustic from his dad in C'Ville.
Still think Boyd is what makes DMB, and I still liked his band better than Dave's, but that's 20 year old college town history these days. (Grumble, gripe, kids today and the noise they listen to and pull your goddam pants up already)
Seeing Stefan up on stage at Trax, all of 16 years old, back in about 91 or 92 (could have been later. I was drunk for most of the early 90s) was pretty amazing. Good times.
