I've been wanting to get back to you for days on this. Yeah, SRV was the man! And he was even better live! (Yeah, I'm old. I was 23 when he died) I've been listening to a bit lately and am allways suprised how strong of a left hand he has.
You also mentioned Jaco Pastorius. Didn't he do a lot of fretless stuff? I've allways loved that sound. Kate Bush in particular has used the sound (via Del Palmer) in a number of notable songs. I love hearing bass with a more prominent or up front part in songs. The Cure and New Order did some cool stuff with it as well as early Cocteau Twins.
You have good taste!
Cheers,

BDKR,
Of course I have good taste, I once circulated a petition that I was to be the only one allowed to touch the jukebox in a certain restaurant I used to frequent, but that's a different story.
Yes, Jaco did all kinds of fretless stuff, as well as fretted stuff, and just about everything imaginable that can be done with a bass. If you like prevalent bass sounds, definitely listen to some Jaco, as he was probably the most talented human being ever to pick up the instrument. He was the bass player from Weather Report for a while, so if you've heard any of their stuff, you may already be familiar with him. Definitely worth a listen.

Lamb of God and anything heavy puts me in the "coding" mood.

Something deep... Now I have on Rock, but anything upbeat or deep. Bump to Dido. White Stripes and Zwan are good as well.

Jaco was one of the all-time great bass players, no doubt. To the all-time greats I would add Stanley Clarke and Chris Squire. And the guy from Rush is pretty darned good also.

That would be Geddy Lee.
Billy Sheehan, Cliff Burton and Les Claypool come to mind as maniac Bass players.
As far as music goes, I tend not to listen to anything when coding, just because I get really distracted easily when something trips your "I have to learn how to play this" switch. 2 hours later, you may have learned the album backwards and forwards, but now forgot what was going on in the code.
Good tunes though for those "afternoon drives" have to include some Disturbed, Mudvane,(sp?) Van Halen, Silverchair, and of course AC/DC. Cant leave those guys out of any lineup.

iTunes has an excellent Internet radio setup. I tend to listen to the ambient flavor of music, mostly.
But I do listen from the entire electromagnetic music spectrum: classical, old-school, disco (yes, I said disco), Pink Floyd, hearts of space, and everything in-between. Good God, I even listen to old Johnny Cash and Little Richard. But some of my favorite inspiring music is composed by a fellow named Klaus Schulze.
I figure I must be 1/2 baked anyway spending 16-18 hours in front of a computer everyday. I can't wait until some bio/techno scientist can come up with an adapter to simply plug me into the net 24/7. Bliss in virtual reality, natural progression with technology.

We humans will be the little green people wondering around in the local cluster of nearby stars ramming strange probes up other unusual being's butts.

Was there something wrong with the '90's? Also, you really could say "before the 80s" as none of the bands you mentioned originated after 1979.
