Bass is extremely important in Yes, maybe even more than guitar... A good example is Relayer... It's pure instrumental mayhem, but the importance of Squires bass playing on even the most guitar based songs is overlooked, his bass playing provides the structure to many Yes songs, they would be lost without it.

Led Zeppelin also wrote many bass heavy tunes... Page gets all the attention, but anyone who denies JPJs importance is a fool.

A lot of prog is very bass oriented.... A lot of funk and pop is too.
