[i-empire]

Green Day - Longview
Queen - Under Pressure
The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends
RHCP - By The Way
Blink 182 - Carousel

[Yes. And?]

i have no idea.

[avengedtbs]

[SteveLikesMusic]

The Ataris - Teenage Riot

[james77]

People this isn't just "Name songs with audible baslines" it is GOOD bass lines.
ha. agreed. "maxwell murder" by rancid is incredible.

[james77]

also this thread has already been done

[DjJazzyGeoff]

311- what was i thinking. you probably never heard it, but it's track 7 off of their transistor album, and the song begins with a really good bass line that sticks throughout the song.

[chrisPAIN]

isn't there best basslines thread a few spots below this one as we speak?

[speak easy]

stir it up!

[Brokenhill]

AFI - The Great Dissapointment

and

Rush - Something for Nothing

Idk know, even all the music I have, I havent listened into them all to decide a "top" list.

But these 2 stuck out to me.

[speak easy]

maxwell murder- rancid (its a solo but still)

[Bingham88]

Green Day - Longview
Queen - Under Pressure
Blink 182 - Carousel
Lynyrd Syknyrd- Gimmie Three Steps

just off the top of my head

[katekate]

anti-flag have some good ones, maybe not in the top 5 though.

[Bob Payne]

when i think of the best bassline ever, i certainly don't think of green day or blink 182...that's just fucking absurd. Every single Primus song ever completely tears apart anything those bands have ever done.

[FinchBulldog2]

The Maxwell Murder solo. A lot of RHCP, a lot of Tool, a lot of Muse, some QOTSA, etc.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

anything by Bela Fleck & The Flecktones

[danielineffigy]

Muse - Hysteria

[MADSTA]

Dance, Dance.









I keed.

[Nolessthanblink]

Boring

[mastersplinter]

rancid. maxwell murder feerrsuurreee

[Carlo Marx]

Primus - Tommy the Cat
Bela Fleck - Sinister Minister
Macabre - Acid Bath Vampire
Elvis Costello - Lace Sleeves
NoFX - The Decline

[myantiyou]

Wasn't this done before? These probably aren't my real "tops," but this is all I can think of right now.

Superfreak - Rick James
Jerry Was a Racecar - Primus
What Katie Said - The Matches
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Cochise - Audioslave (I don't know if the bassline is the same as the guitar riff, but its hella kickass when you do play it on bass)

[dostoevsky]

wtf guys

Muse - Hysteria

Agreed.

The Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums
