Songs with great basslines?

Can you name any? (and let's try and keep RHCP out of this, cause that's just like, duh)

I'll start with some Beatles - Penny Lane

My Generation by the Who.

YYZ

'nuff said :)

Black Flag - Six Pack.

I was watching Hulu and saw a Chips Ahoy commercial ... don't ask beyond that ....

Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy

scream of the butterfly-acid bath

its so creepy

No More Tears has one of my favorite basslines of all time. It dominates the song.

I forgot Orion, I like it even more. :o

Pretty much every fugazi song.NearTheEnd

'Ride the lightning' by Metallica, 'Hysteria' by Muse, 'Holiday in Cambodia' by Dead Kennedys. My personal favorites.dracula_16

Hysteria is hysterical on bass...

muse- newborn

system of a down, spiders

Nebula-Incubus

If your impatient, fast forward to the 2:00 mark.

Deep Inside-Incubus

A Certain Shade of Green-Incubus

At least wait til the verses to see the sick slap bass style.

Sink Beneath the Line-Incubus

Some of their dope early work. Crappy recording but you get the idea.

Badge by Cream. Psychedelic rock ftw. DarkFalcon1956

If you looking into complicated bass then nothing will beat any Ska song. But other good songs would be

Pink Floyd-Hey You

Alice in Chains- Would?

Tool-Schism

White Knuckle Ride by Rancid
or
My name is Mud by Primus

I can't believe there has been no mention of Primus. Check out "The Duchess and the Proverbial Mindset"...actually just listen to any Primus. Claypool is king!

Dream Theater - Medicate (Awakening)

My favorite part of this score.

Mudvayne-Dig (Get past the fact that its nu-metal and actually listen people!!!)

Mudvayne-Silenced (He freaking goes crazy on that bass!)

Muse-Hysteria

Muse-New Born

Muse-Hyper Music (Yes, Chris is my fav bassist)

Dream Theater-Panic Attack

Black Sabbath-War Pigs

Maximum the Hormone-Black power G-Man Spy

Maximum the Hormone-Rockimpo Goroshi

Maximum the Hormone-Bikini Sports Ponchin (This band is underrated. Their drummer and bassist are great IMO)

I am not even going to bother getting into Rush and the Who right now......

lol the vid is AWESOME!:P

Oh and to the monkey guy, that IS what he was going for with the song. Most people just don't realize the band lacks a bassist and Jack apparently REALLY wanted a bass sound in that song....

Interesting topic.

"Navy Nurse" - Fiery Furnaces
"Goin' Out West" - Tom Waits

There's some pretty good ones listed so far. I omitted any previously listed ones from my selections. :P Honestly, navy Nurse's bassline blew my mind the first time I heard it.

Lemon Song

YYZ

Won't get fooled again.

Sweet Child of Mine.

Anesthesia Pulling Teeth

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Peace Sells

Lovecats.

Prophecy - Iced earth

my slowing heart - Sentenced

Any song off of Atheist's "Piece of Time", such as Unholy War

Rime of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden Part 1 and Part 2

Orion by Metallica

Oh and pretty much anything by Rush.
