Songs with cool bass guitar riffs?

Hey so just a couple months ago I started playing bass guitar after having been a guitarist for a few years. Just wondering if you guys knew of any songs with some cool bass lines in them. I need some more ideas on songs to learn, Ive been mostly playing Red Hot Chili Peppers and some Incubus and am running out of ideas, thanks in advance =D

TRy phish lol anything by them is nearly impossible to play

"Arizona" - Kings of Leon.

"Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades" - Brand New.

"Lazy Eye" - Silversun Pickups.

Benighted - Grind Wit (cool tapping parts)

Any Blood Red Throne song

Cryptopsy's Phobophile

'The National Anthem' by Radiohead

anything by iron maiden, and also Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison

Death From Above 1979... every song.

'Hysteria' by Muse, 'Take the power back' by Rage Against The Machine, 'Highway star' by Deep Purple and 'Armageddon death squad' by Impaled Nazarene.

anything by primus

Also check out Victor Wooten.

In the Rock category try some of The Who songs. Some of their songs aren't really "Hard" to play but has a cool bass riff... If you are looking on the Metal side you should try either anything from Manowar or Hibria.

'The National Anthem' by Radiohead

I can't say it enough. :( Does this make me a loser?

Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. The riff isn't actually played by a bass, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.Alex3796

Oh it works on bass. Play it all the time actually. Probably sounds BETTER on bass!

Roundabout by Yes.

Achilles Last Stand has a great Bass (most Zeppelin stuff does, though) and the song by Rush Tom Sawyer has an awesome bass line during the solo.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
