Sims, simply because he's my favorite freebasser of all times.

when I can't decide on quality, the one who got there first wins.

so, Tracey Pew. But Dave, I love you.

I could name five better basslines in the Jesus Lizard discography.

I can´t, but I´m curious which you think those would be.

Will check out those two TBP tunes.

Okay, your opinion is certainly different than mine, but here we go.

Jesus Lizard Basslines Superior to "Monkey Trick":

1 One Evening
2 Then Comes Dudley
3 Karpis
4 Blockbuster
5 Waxeater

Birthday Party Basslines Superior to "Monkey Trick":

1 Hamlet (Pow, Pow, Pow)
2 Six Inch Gold Blade
3 Zoo-Music Girl
4 Dead Joe
5 Fears of Gun

And the thing is, I pretty much tossed this off. These aren't even comprehensive lists of the best basslines that either band had to offer.

(If you didn't get it yet, I think "Monkey Trick" is pretty much the worst song on Goat...though that is pretty relative, all things considered...)

here you go

Jesus Lizard: rodeo in joliet, american bb, mouthbreather, nub, if you had lips, killer machann, art of self defense

the birthday party: six inch gold blade, friendcatcher, figure of fun, king ink, hats on wrong, six strings that drew blood, swampland

Come on, it's Sims. I'd choose him against anyone. He could make plain old eighth notes on the E string sound fucking amazing.

This is simply wrong.

I voted Sims because he is so damn sexy. Otherwise I can't really decide.

Listen to the version on 'Gong' then try telling me it's not up there with the best stuff they ever did.
