    "Mayonaise"-Smashing Pumpkins

    Actually most pumpkins songs are easy to play on bass because D'arcy wasnt a bass player by trade when she joined the band, and neither was Corgan, who did most of the bass parts on Siamese Dream

    Heaven & Hell-Black Sabbath, the easiest song ever to play on bass, if the kid can't play it in an hour of practice, he'll never be able to play anything.

  • Radiohead "Creep".

    my first bass line i ever learnt many moons ago was Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

    Alive is not a bad one to try as well by PJ.
