D'arcy is clearly the weak link.

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

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.

Ben...need look no more

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.

I would probably go for Jeff second with DeLeo third.

Jeff is my third.

Starr died? I did not know that.

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

Starr died a few years ago. Drugs.

Inez rules.

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