Good Thread...There are too many I cannot decide on one. Some of my favorites are:
I'm Goin' Home(Live at woodstock) - Ten Years After
Machine Gun(Live at Fillmore) - Jimi Hendrix
Free Bird(c'mon how has this not been mentioned yet) - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Master of Puppets/Sanitarium/Call of Ktulu/etc./etc/etc. - Metallica
I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home - Albert King
Texas Flood(Live) - SRV
Turn on Your Love Light(live at Fillmore) - The Grateful Dead
The Thrill Is Gone - B.B. King
After Hours - Roy Buchanan
Eruption - Van Whalen
Moby Dick(Live) - Led Zeppelin
Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
Anthropology - Charlier Parker
Black Mountain Rag - The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Foggy Mountain Breakdown - Earl Scruggs

Just a few off the top of the dome, if I remember anymore I'll put it down.


To the above poster, look up Victor Wooten or Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. VW is awesome, nobody is in the same building as this guy. I love Cliff, but he can't hold a candle to VW's bass playing.

I think Victor Wooten and Cliff Burton of Metallica are kind of in different leagues. While both are amazing, I'm sure comparing their styles against each other would be hard, because who's to say Victor Wooten is a better heavy metal bassist, while Wooten can pull off more technical manuevers? Victor Wooten is like a prodigy bass player. Its not really fair to compare anyone to him except other virtuosos, which, while I'm sure Burton is good, I doubt he is at a virtuoso level like Wooten.
