He fits PTs music perfectly, I can't see anyone else being there bassist, I'm sure my opinion is biased because of PT love.

Sorry man, but Gavin Harrison is Porcupine Tree's drummer.
The bassist is Colin Edwin.
I don't know which you still like, but those are their roles.

There are way to few mentions for Jonas Reingold (from The Flower Kings) here.
I've seen Rutherford, Squire, Lee and (ahem) Waters (and many of the others) but Jonas tops the lot of them in my opinion.

Well, if it weren't limited to Prog I'd be putting Victor Wooten in here. I don't think anyone plays bass better than that. But for prog:
Andreas Blomqvist, Geddy Lee, John Myung, Jonas Reingold, Chris Squire

Hard to keep it to just 5, but here goes:
Tony Levin
Trey Gunn
Chris Squire
John Wetton/Geddy Lee (tie)
Ray Shulman/Michael Rutherford (tie)
If I start including jazz-rock bassists, the list becomes:
Jaco Pastorius
Jeff Berlin
Alain Caron
Tony Levin
Trey Gunn
3 KC bassists, 6 bassists who toured or recorded with Bill Bruford and 2 Canadians.

Geddy Lee
Chris Squire
Lemmy ( for his work on Space Ritual alone)
John Entwhistle
Then a toss up between
Pete Trewawas Jonas Reingold and Mike Rutherford
i see lots of nods to Myung, but on half of Dream Theaters albums he's so far down the mix you cant even hear the guy...

I don't think I've listened to a wide enough variety to make a list, but I agree with anyone who throws Jaco up there.

Wooten is the bass player for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, who are listed on here as Jazz Rock Fusion.
