Name the Best Bass Lines Ever

So well the title explains everything. You just have to name songs with great bass lines. My favorite bass lines are the following:

• Bullet in the Head - Rage Against The Machine
• Hysteria - Muse
• For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica
• Laquer Head - Primus
• Me and my bass guitar - Victor Wooten
• Stone Cold Bush - Red Hot Chili Peppers
• Love Foolosophy - Jamiroquai
• A Certain Shade of Green - Incubus
• Santeria - Sublime
• Que no te haga bobo jacobo - Molotov
• Sabotage - Beastie Boys

"She Bangs The Drums" by The Stone Roses

well that's my favourite anyway, and it really kicks in loud and strong about halfway through

The end of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain".IgNIght

I really like Victor Wooten's version of "Norwegian Wood". If you are a bassist and have not seen this, look it up. NOW.

shocked not to see any STP here. My favorite is Plush by Stone Temple Pilots. Most of STPs songs use the bass as the melody of the song.

Yes it is...

OMG - I forgot "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith.

Doo Doo Da-da-da doo doo doo...

That sounds nothing like it.

I also need to mention "Believe" by The Bravery

All you have to do is listen to the first 10 seconds, which is just bass.

Omg, "I Will Posses Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie is like a 9 minute song (the non-radio edit) with great bass.

I'm pretty sure the first 4 minutes is just the bass line with drums and some synth.

Also, "Parallel Universe" by RHCP is good. It's similar to the guitar, like most songs, but it's more prominent.

You named some good ones. Haven't heard the bravery in a while.

My personal favorites are:

Roundabout by Yes
The Creator Had a Mastertape by Porcupine Tree

I'm bringing this thread back just so I can add....

Mudshovel - Staind

Everyone must listen to the first 27 seconds. That's it.

Any Jaco Pastorius song. Ever.spazzx625

The beginning of hysteria by Muse.-AK47-

lol surprised to see wooten on there! i take it youre a bass player? i am one fo sho!

hmm

i want to name atleast one because theres sooooo many damn good ones. hmm. ya know what. pretty much any victor wooten would have made me number one and probably made up my entire list. but im thinking something from red hot chili peppers, 311, or sublime would suffice.

Anything by Jamiroquai's original bassist is great. Thuper.

Check out "Actual Proof" by Herbie Hancock. The bass playing on that is sick.

Jamiroquai's basslines are the funkiest pieces of music in modern times. We need more bass players like the original Jamiroquai one to appear on the radio and popular Tv channels. I'm tired of these Pete Wentz type of bass players that play the same notes as the guitar.

Peace Sells nuff saidSuddenstriker52

Old school no pun intended Stanley Clarke School Days and almost anything by him.

Almost all Victor Wooten stuff with otr without Bela, Marcus Miller. Flea has to many good riffs and Rage against the machine.

School days and too many more

Sun don't lie

Aeroplane

"Money" by Pink Floyd

"Day Tripper" by The Beatles

Tommy the Cat - PrimusDJ_Novakain

Epic win right there. Les Claypool is awesome

Practically every Rush and Primus song.TenP

Pretty much

Also like Erasorn says Jaco...Forgot about the great dead guys.

Almost any Whether Report song and Solo Portrait of Tracy plus others
