I went with Myung, but only because I can't consider Geddy a prog metal musician. Side by side, Geddy wastes Myung.

Similarly, I voted for Malone, who I think is great, but Geddy is my all time favorite bassist. |

Seeing Myung play a 6 string bass with his fingers like it's a guitar, it's hard to vote for anyone else in that group.

Like the poll says, i don't think Geedy as a "metal prog" bass player... Myung is really good, bat Malone is awsome!!!! specially 'cause its style, it's more rysky than Myung.
Otherwise... Geedy kick both... Malone and Myung

| Rush is not really metal IMHO. John Myung is an excellent bass player, although sometimes it's not easy to hear him. |

| John Myung, though I have to say that I've yet to hear Sean Malone. Geddy Lee doesnt play prog metal. |

| All I know is the opening of "Lifting Shadows Off a Dream" from Dream Theater 'Awake,' where John Myung does some incredible harmonic picking - on a bass! - continues to captivate my musical attention. Myung gets my vote... |

Man, you listen to "Marathon" from Rush's Power Windows, and that's just one of the songs I refer to when I have to pick my personal best bassist. This and he does it while he sings.

Shawn Malone, with John Myung as close second. Geddy Lee is not a metal bassist, even some Rush songs have part-wise that metal-edge. ------------- "All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste." - GENTLE GIANT |

| Myung simply because Geddy isn't "metal." |
