There is no clear winner here. All are fantastic.

D'arcy is clearly the weak link.

Especially with Corgan choosing to play her parts on the albums.

these are kind of fun

Worth mentioning these are two different bassists; the late Mike Starr on Facelift, Dirt and Sap, Mike Inez on Jar of Flies and everything since.

Since Ben is destroying this poll, I'm curious to know people's second choice. I voted Ben second behind Robert DeLeo. Not only is Robert wonderful on the bass but he's also a multi instrumentalist and the primary song writer for STP. He penned most of the band's most iconic songs.

Starr died? I did not know that.

Inez played for Ozzy when I saw him in '92.

I can't say I really ever notice Jeff. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
