Songs with great bass lines

[Torm]

"I Think We're Alone Now" - the Tommy James version, not the Tiffany one.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

"I can't go for that" - Hall & Oates

 

[Aris Dragonborn]

Two more Metallica songs that haven't been mentioned yet....

Orion ~ Master of Puppets
My Friend of Misery ~ Metallica. C'mon, where's the love for Jason Newsted?

Thanks to this thread, I now have 'White Rabbit' and 'Heart and Soul' (mmm, T'Pau) running thru my head......

 

[BOZ]

Orion, hell yeah, with that opening... nice bit of "space rock" from a band you wouldn't have expected to hear it from.

and White Rabbit, yes, of course.

Lots of Joy Division and New Order songs have very strong basslines, examples:

These Days
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Blue Monday

I totally agree...Love Will Tear Us Apart is a simple part but is a killer groove.
Along the same lines of LWTUA, is Disintegration by The Cure. The song is actually built around the bass riff... If this song doesn't have you up strumming the air bass....

btw, everything by Chris Squire

The beginning of "Schism" by Tool.

ooohhh...yeah! The block of those three songs Schism, Parabol and Parabola is great!

 

[Arkham]

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap!
Dead Babies - Alice Cooper

 

[The Sigil]

"Hey Mister Bassman" (aka Mr. Boom-Boom written by Johnny H. Cymbal, if ASCAP is to be believed) has always been one of my favorites.
