Music with Beautiful or Lingering Bass Lines

[Bohemianne]

On adrenaline rush and I need a little break...

Yep. I'm quite specific about this. Please post songs with good bass lines and not because the Bass player is reputable for doing hard bass passages (such as Jeff Schmidt). It can be any ordinary song you hear, but for some reason, you find the bass line making a big part in the arrangement of the song. It doesn't need to be your ultimate favorite.

Maybe I should post samples:

1. The Cure's "Love Song" - http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=ks_qOI0lzho

2. Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" - http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE

3. "Love and Pride" by Paul King - http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=p_3g_yf1vzI&feature=related - (hehe- quite gay, but whatevah)

4. "Mission Impossible" theme - http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=XAYhNHhxN0A

5. KISS "Black Diamond" - http://www.youtube . com/watch?v=ERsUvy5hvos

6. The one I blogged. I'm so caught by its chorus bass line it seems to float alone leaving the music behind.

N.H.O.P's Bass playing on "Please dont talk about me when I'm gone" on the album "Oscar Peterson at the Salle Playell"

 

[red indian]

Jaco Pastorius "Portrait of Tracy"....not a "bass line" but, great Bass playing!

 

[red indian]

Probably my all time favourite is Joel DiBartolo's fantastic bass line on "Be Bop Charlie" (Bob Florence album "Concerts by the Sea")
