I don't play bass and am not that well-rounded in terms of all different genres and lesser-known bands and such, however I would still have to say as far as actually listening to the bass parts, I like Geddy Lee's work nearly as much as Tim's.

I really like Geddy Lee's work (even if I've gotten tired of the band's near-nihilistic lyrics), but I think that compared to any other bassist I've heard, Chandler is the superior musician. Songs like "Catch That Angel," "Banquet at the World's End," "Mall All Over the World," & "Rice Paper Wings" show an imagination & willingness to do whatever the song demands, as well as the chops to do it. To me, he coaxes more expression out of the instrument. That's how it seems to me anyway.

Yes, the bass is a lonely instrument.

Actually, it's more of a flaky loner instrument....

Perhaps it's time to invoke the R-word?
