Wicked bass beats

[Emmitt2222]

Recently I was listening to A Punchup at a Wedding (no no no...) and was so sucked in by the amazing base beat. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any other songs that have really great base in them and what bassists are at the top of the heap. I feel these dudes don't often get much credit or recognition for their craft, as I know we have discussed drummers and lead guitarists a bunch in OOT. Here are a few songs that I love the base in:

Radiohead - A Punchup at a Wedding (no no no no no no no no)
The Strokes - Between Love and Hate
The Beatles - Dear Prudence / Come Together

Now it's your turn.

John Paul Jones is a fantastic bassist.

Any Led Zepplin track. The Lemon song is my particular bass favorite.

And I agree with you. The guitarist(s) and front-man get all the attention, but it's the bassist and the drummer that's the "glue" of the band. Or, the meat and potatoes, if you will.

Anything By Sarsipius the Bass Man...

George Clinton &Parliment Funkadelic has some cool [censored]...

But if you want straight-up, BAD-ASS, techinical Bass... Jaco

A Million Ways to be Cruel - OK Go

one of my favorites lately, especially to play. Fairly basic early, by the end gets pretty sick.

Balderdash! Ballyhoo!

When I think bass, I don't think the guitar. With that in mind:

Ils - Over turned
ASAP - Heavy Water
Agitator - Aquasky Remix
DJ Hype f. MC Fats - Peace, Love & Unity
Jenna G - Woe

I can probably come up with 50 more.
