Rush

Well, even there the legendary drummer Neil Peart is often given as much or more accolades.

In reality all three members are top ten best all time candidates on their respective instruments. The best explanation for Rush I heard was: there's no short leg on that tripod.

YES - well maybe?

Chris Squire may actually be the greatest rock bassist of all time.

Primus, Motorhead and Thin Lizzy were the ones that popped into my head.

Pink Floyd? Roger Waters is more popular than David Gilmour? I think not. More infamous at the moment, but not more popular.

Rush? Again, I'd argue that Neil Peart is more popular than Geddy Lee. But along with Alex Lifeson, all three deserve nothing but love and respect.

@Torgo said it well. It's one of the rare bands where every member is outrageously talented and showcased

Cliff Burton when he was in Metallica.

I don't know if he's actually most popular, however the bassist for Mudvayne is insanely good and probably overlooked cause of the vocalist.

Keanu Reeves in his band, Dogstar, that he plays bass/does vocals for. Which is pretty cool if you've played Cyberpunk. Note, his band predates the game, by like 20 years, so I've little doubt his band was the inspiration for his band in the game, or at least his role within it.

The only reason he isn't given the props is because he's in a band with arguably the best drummer and one of the most influential bass players of all time. Also, there are just a lot more "household name" guitarists than there are drummers and bassists.

Most casual rock fans can name a handful of bassists and drummers, and usually it's bassists and drummers that also sing (Phil Collins, Sting, etc...) but they can name a lot more guitarists.
