My son, who plays both classical upright bass & the electrified version, likes these two in particular:
Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - The Jam
Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder

Both sound great to this untrained ear

The bass is for people who can't make it as guitar players, right?

haha, just kidding. I love me a good bass line. Even a simplified guitar part that sounds like it could be a bassline, like some of Frusciante's stuff is great.

Yes...and one of the best opening tracks ever.

Most every song from Minutemen and fIREHOSE...Mike Watt is the man.

The Stranglers - Peaches was the first that came to mind. Memorable.

You know, the ones where you know the song just from the bass line or when the bass line just seems to carry the song.

I feel like we don’t have them very much in popular music today.

So what’s your favorite?

Think was the song I put on this morning when I heard, too. I'd forgotten how amazing that bass line is!

Stevie Wonder albums have some great bass lines, Higher Ground was mentioned, I Wish has a good one too.

Not actually played on a bass, but how about Flashlight by Parliament!

Bring on the funk!

Good pop=good bass line, since it drives the melody as well...

DayTripper by the Beatles is a good one--sounded dramatic when new...

Actually, it was Chuck Berghofer, another well-respected journeyman.
