About this episode

With over 300 OGH podcasts to choose from, we know that sometimes older episodes get lost in the library.

So, here is a topic we had a request to dig up again...and this episode first aired on radio in November of 2010 as we look at one of the most under appreciated and underrated members of any rock band...the bass player. 

These are the most influential bass players in the history of alt-rock.

Next week...it's the 1000th episode of the Ongoing History of New Music
