Songs with great bass lines

Hope this helps, BOZ!

Glen Moore's Dragonetti's Dream: Song- Put in a quarter

Actually, since Dragonetti's Dream is, essentially, a solo album by a guy with a stand-up bass...its pretty much a bass-fest anyway.

Rabih Abou-Khalil Al Jadida: Song When the lights go out or Rabih Abou-Khalil

(Note: Glen Moore is the Bass player on the Abou-Khalil disc as well.)

Me'Shell NdegeOcello (the shaven-headed, black female bass player) plays some wicked bass on tracks "If that's your boyfriend" and so many more...

I can think of several notable Pink Floyd bass lines such as "Money". There are a few on The Wall too.

Kick Axe

Kick Axe's "On the Road To Rock' has just the most awesome groove to it. What a great, fat bass sound in addition to the great bass lines.

White Stripes - Hardest Button To Button. great bassline, and the whole video is based on its interaction with the drumbeat.

smiths - i am human

FYI, i think the title you're looking for is "How Soon is Now?"

Seven Nation Army too - good one.

"Hold the Line", by Toto (David Hungate on bass). Amazing that anyone was able to crack the charts with a rock song in 1978.

The "Oils" have many songs with nice bass lines, it's quite one of their trademarks, despite of having had three different bassist during their career. They are also very easy-to-play bass lines:

Beds are burning
Truganini
Someone else to blame
Sleep

But almost all their songs are largely unknown outside Australia...

Luckily for me, I've got about a dozen Oils CDs (including EPs). I still love Wedding Cake Island.

King Crimson's Thela Hun Gingeet; Sleepless (the version that appeared on The Compact King Crimson)
