From the same album..."Sunday Papers".

And since we don't have much else Noo Wave here, "Hangin' Around" and "Peaches", by the incomparable Jean-Jacques Burnel of the Stranglers.

And if we're gettin' funky, "I'll Take You There", by the Staple Singers (one of the best bass/drums grooves I've heard), which I think is David Hood.

I always liked the Bassline to "She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones

China Grove

8th Avenue Shuffle

I had the absolute joy of playing China Grove and Long Train Running in our band many years ago, but unfortunately 8th Ave Shuffle was too obscure for the rest of the guys...

+1, esp Long Train ... one of my favorite songs to sing backups to, also!

Let me tell you how it will be... there's one for you nineteen for me...

TAXMAN!!

Another absoluetly iconic bassline..

Come Together!

Although being a huge Beatles nerd, I am slighty biased. I do have to state that Sir McCartney made me pick up the bass though. So many great, simple basslines: from Saw Her Standing There to Back In The USSR to Sun King... If you look at all the "stages" of the Beatles musical development, one thing remians the same. Great basslines!

Also, +1 to Jailbreak. Phil Lynott = bass guitar god!
