While he doesn't have How did he do that? chops, I always thought Bob Daisley was one of the most tasteful players out there.  He stayed in the pocket but could show you some licks when the opportunity arose.

Why has nobody mentioned Tony Levin?...

Im not sure who that guy is, but those guys who stay in the pocket like that sure do inspire me....

I think its purely a personal choice!
 
Just like if someone posted the question What is the tastiest meal? If this was posted imagine the diverse responses!
 
There is of course no right or wrong answer at the end of the day (although Jaco IS the greatest, ha ha!)
 
John.

Was Bob Daisley in a project called Widowmaker back in the 70s'?

Daisley played w/Rainbow & Uriah Heep among others, but his most significant project was the first 2 Ozzy Osbourne albums.  He not only played bass, but was the principal lyricist.  He has never been fully credited with the work he did with Osbourne.

Shortly after asking the question I decided to look him up for myself. Kinda like shutting the barn door after the horse ran away...
 
but it seems Bob did OK for himself after that Widowmaker thing.
