Songs with great bass lines

[Zander]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics (sp?).

 

[Tanager]

The Fish Song!

I was a cook and she was a waitress,
Down at Salty Sam's Seafood Café
And some where 'tween the clam juice or the seaweed salad
Some little shrimp just lured her away


Oh I lobster but never flounder
He wrapped his line around her
and they drove off in his carp!

Oh I lobster , but never flounder
I octopus his face in,
He’ll only break her heart


I said just squid and leave me for that piana tuna
if you want to trout somethin’ new
She was the bass I ever had
Now my life has no porpoise


Oh, my cod I love her – yes I do

Oh, not what you meant?

 

[Renton]

A bit more obscure one (unless you lived around Houston in the early 90's) is Deadhorse's Like Asrielle. Worth checking out if you can find it.

 

[BOZ]

awesome - great stuff.

heard Aerosmith's cover of Come Together on the radio today and thought of this thread.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Don't remember if we've hit these:

Motorhead Ace of Spades
Black Sabbath Zero the Hero
Blue Murder Ptolemy, Valley of the Kings
Blue Oyster Cult Godzilla
The Police Behind my Camel, Synchronicity II
Porno for Pyros Cursed Female
Pearl Jam Black

 

[Staffan]

I saw Another One Bites the Dust mentioned earlier, but Under Pressure's bass line is pretty neat too. At least Vanilla Ice thought so

 

[Joker]

Slow DOWN!! Kazaa doesn't dl so fast .

Seriously, does the theme from Dr. Who have a bass in it? If so, it's got my vote.

Also, Get Ready from Rare Earth. About five minutes into the song there's a nice bass-solo.

Dr Who is entirely electronic AFAIK...but I can play it on my bass (and I'm more of a singer/guitarist), so I'd say count it! It may be simple, but its cool.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Muse-a pretty new band- has some that show promise: Check out their song Sunburned.

And while we're adding electronic bass lines, Bjork's "Army of Me" is MASSIVE!

 

[GentleGiant]

Wow, interesting that noone has mentioned Black Velvet by Alannah Myles.
Also, Would by Alice in Chains
