Editor’s Note: At the end of each year, we tally up all the article and video views on No Treble to come up with a list of the top 10 most popular bassists. This is entirely based on readership, not on opinions, polls, or anything else. Just having some fun.
We made it to the top of the list, and this year’s reader favorite bassist is Geddy Lee.
Lee returned to the stage this year, including appearances with Alex Lifeson. In addition, some old school Rush was included along the way, as well as some Geddy-inspired products.
