Stanley Clarke, everyone. Go listen to some Return to Forever, dude is legit. I saw 'em live and dude held his own in a guitar vs. bass battle with Al DiMeola. Everything by Yes
I'ma have to disagree. The early albums with Chris Squire are the only Yes albums with bass lines that really jump out; Fragile and Close to the Edge, especially. oh god that roundabout bass line sooooo goooooooooood Well, honestly, when I say everything by Yes, I mean everything by something approximating Yes' original lineup. Like, The Yes Album through Relayer. Seriously, the bass line from the early spacey part on Heart of the Sunrise is just so boner inspiring. And yeah, man, that dude from Return to Forever is serious. So very serious. |

"Old England" by the Waterboys, apart from being a generally fantastic song, has a killer bass-line, really simple but really spot-on. In fact the rhythm section for that song in general is just great. There are a bunch of home-made videos accompanying the song on YouTube, but none of them seems to have the bass particularly high in the mix (or maybe that's just my computer).

PINK FLOYD
ONE OF THESE DAYS
Which of the two basses are you thinking of here? BTW All my favourite Pink Floyd Songs have just one line of text (like this and Careful with that Axe, Eugene) More great bass work: Mogwai - Helicon 1A lot of early Simple Minds up to and including New Gold Dream has great bass lines and is generally underrated. |

Everything by Stevie Wonder, ever.
Fuck it, everything on Motown and Stax, ever. Seriously, I would sell substantial parts of my own anatomy and that of my family to be able to play like any of those guys. Just listen to them; they're so fucking tight and intricate and smart and they make it sound so goddamned effortless.
Also, and I know this isn't going to be popular, the whole of the Graceland album by Paul Simon has amazing if somewhat 80s bass playing.

Tommy has mentioned Tina Weymouh but of special interest are the recordings from the Remain In Light tour where they were joined by several musicians, specifially Busta Jones from P Funk on the bass. I truly believe that during this period, Talking Heads was a band of instrumental creativity and prowess that has rarely if ever been matched

Tina Weymouth ... Remain in Light
My old roommate, who was a huge Talking Heads fan, told me that Byrne and Eno took her studio contributions and re-edited them to such an extent that she essentially had to learn the new basslines from scratch. I can't vouch for that statement though; can anyone else confirm/deny? |

^ In that book Rip It Up And Start Again Simon Reynolds writes that around 'Remain In Light' they were building basslines by multi-tracking them one note at a time. I mean, if a bass line was 2 bars long they'd play the first note of the phrase every two bars for the duration of the song, go back and do the next one, etc. But that seems insane. Believably insane with fucking Eno involved  but still insane. I wonder whether I either misread Reynolds or he misunderstood whoever he got that info from. |

Honestly I never really understood why the Talking Heads were a big deal. I have never felt so ... neutral ... about a band. I can see absolutely nothing either particularly appealing or particularly off-putting in their music.

I like their music but can't stand David Byrne's voice, basically. Same problem with the Clash; I just can't abide singers who sound like they've got a mouth full of marbles.

Am not. Asking if it's 'in' always struck me as kind of strange because, really, I don't give a fuck if it's 'in' or 'out' or whatever you want to say it is. I'm going to like it (or not like it) irregardless. |

UGggggggh. Can there be one conversation about bass that doesn't bring up fucking Chris Squire or fucking Geddy Lee. When I first started playing those two were almost enough to make me stop right there, fucking wankers. WANKERS!!! Next everyone will be sucking off Jaco Pastorious (who, by the way, has a tone like the grown-ups in Peanuts having a seizure, it is NOT something to aspire to have).
The great thing about Peter Hook is that he didn't fuck around. He didn't need a lot of flash for New Order's (and Joy Division some too) songs, four notes, perfectly arrange and mixed to the front, were just fine for him. In this is the most important lesson you can learn playing bass: Keep it simple, don't be a wanker. People are not impressed by that.

Can't remember which songs in particular, but I know at least some Black Sabbath has some great bass lines.
Clutch has a lot of good ones as well, particularly space grass.
And it has to be said, Orion by Metallica.
