Just for fun, I making a list. Join in, won’t you?
What basslines from songs are the most memorable? The kind, when you hear the Bass Lines you just know the song before it gets four seconds into it. Take a look at my list and see if you agree, then add your own!
Most Memorable Basslines…ever
* Good Time – Chic
* Another One Bites The Dust – Queen (ok, these first two are almost identical, but you have to admit they are memorable)
* Peter Gunn Theme – Duane Eddy
* Ghostbusters -Ray Parker jr.
* I want a New Drug – Huey Lewis & the News (again, these are almost identical – I think there was even a lawsuit)
* Beat It Billie Jean – Michael Jackson (Thanks Dave, that’s what I meant to list)
* Every Breath You Take – The Police
* Under Pressure – Queen & David Bowie
* Ice, Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice (a total rip-off of “Under Pressure” but worth noting because it is memorable, possibly moreso than the Queen song – Thanks to Cinefreak Justin for the reminder)
* Genius of Love – Tom Tom Club
Musiqie by Daft Punk on the LP Homewerk
An even better Michael Jackson song is “Billie Jean” baby! Anyone can pick out that bass line on the very first note.
Aw man, now I gotta go listen to Homewerk!
Let me add the following to your list:
Crush by Dave Matthews Band
Walking on the Moon by The Police
Black Dog by Led Zepplin
and I Want You Back by The Jackson 5. (if for the intro alone)
Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple
Locomotive Breath – Jethro Tull
I know both of these right off the bat.
Sadly, the first song that came to mind was “Ice Ice Baby” (by Vanilla Ice for those not in the know).
I can’t stop this feeling by REO Speedwagon, actully all their songs do that to me. Faithfully–Journey.
Panama Van Halen
Centerfold–J Giles band
True–spandue (sp?) Ballet
Pour some sugar on me–Def Leopard along with Photograph
Can you tell I grad in 1987?
“Ted, Just Admit It” by Jane’s Addiction. If you haven’t heard it, I highly recommend it. It’s on the album “Nothing’s Shocking” back when JA were good.
“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.
