Because the bassline is vital for any song. The bass playing underpins the harmony and rhythm. Mostly its something that you don't even notice - great bass playing can be overlooked but if its not there then the song won't sound anywhere near as good. At the same time, bad bass playing (like bad rhythm guitar playing) can ruin a song without you even realising.

I guess so, i have heard some of his Police stuff, Roxanne is a great song, i love the bass on there myself, i wasn't saying he wasn't a very good bass player, he most certainly is, hes just not what you would call a extreamly technicaly skilled bassist, at least not like Billy Sheenan is, though i really dont care for sheenan, hes damn good and all and is one of the few bassists i have heard who can do crazy shread solos on bass, though i never see the purpose of doing crazy shred solos on bass guitar.

Steve Harris, no question.
Primus is kool in its own way. Les is to random. But he does tear it up.
