Top 10 Bassists of All Time

***EDIT: Original thread separated into 5 threads to make it less confusing

A few months back, I got extremely bored one day and decided to try and come up with my own personal top 10 list of musicians at each instrument commonly found in a rock band. I kinda figured that this had probably been a topic in the past, but I couldn't find any similar threads. Since Hellboy decided to post his top 10 Tool songs, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to put this out there for discussion. I tried my best to make my list as objective as possible, but in all honesty it probably ended up about 50% objective, 50% subjective (and even that might be an underestimation). Anyways, here it is:

Bassists
1.) Les Claypool - Primus
2.) John Entwistle - The Who
3.) Geddy Lee - Rush
4.) John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin
5.) Justin Chancellor - Tool
6.) Ryan Martinie - Mudvayne
7.) Jack Bruce - Cream
8.) John Myung - Dream Theater
9.) Tony Levin - King Crimson
10.) Shavo Odadjian - System of a Down

And there you have it. Feel free to add any categories you think should be included. I'm looking forward to seeing what other people have to say.
