    In my opinion, the greatest bass playing EVER recorded, any genre, is Paul McCartney in "Something". If you have the chance to hear the recently released Beatles remasters, the bass is pushed way up in the mix on all the tracks, and it's amazing to hear. Also, check out the bass in "Rain", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Penny Lane". Wow.

    Also one of my favorite bass lines: "The Real Me' from The Who, Quadrophenia

    Yes,yes,yes,yes, and yes to these recommendations.

    As well as:

    My Generation- The Who
    That Was Me- Paul McCartney
    Too Many People- Paul McCartney
    Cold Desert- Kings of Leon
    Razz- Kings of Leon
    Slow Night,So Long- Kings of Leon
    Badge- Cream
    Electric Feel- MGMT
    Paperback Writer- The Beatles
    Crossfire- Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
    Money- Pink Floyd

    And if you can't find something you like out of that list... I can't help you lol
    All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

    And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...

    Just about anything with Tony Levin supplying the bottom end.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    I like the bass line in this song ANIMATE...Rush even though it's hard to pick up live.

    cant claim to know anything about playing bass, but Common-Be has an amazing intro bass line that carries through the song. dont write it off because its hiphop, take a listen...

    Not a complex line, but memorable and kickass.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.
