Find what you like and let it kill you

Quiz Description

I tell you a bass player. You name the band with which they are most prominently associated. (Don't get cute. If you know some obscure band they played for once, you should know the big one. Some band names may be commonly known in conjunction with a bandleader.) Note that I'm giving 50pts per question to mitigate the importance of money questions as a bizarre experiment.
