Favorite bass lines

Similar to my blog on my favorite songs, this is just a list of some of my favorite bass lines in songs. Like that one, I'm not ranking any as it's just unnecessary. Bands that are only a bass and drums (i.e. DFA1979 and Awesome Snakes) don't count for this.

Muse - Hysteria

Basically any Primus song, but just to name two of my favorites, Jerry Was A Race Car Driver and Tommy the Cat.

Rammstein - Seemann

Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose

RHCP - By The Way

The Bronx - False Alarm

Radiohead - The National Anthem

Queens of the Stone Age - You Can't Quit Me Baby

Royksopp - So Easy

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (obvious choice but it's SO GOOD)

Casiopea - Domino Line (especially the Mint Jams version)

Yes - Roundabout

!!! - Must Be The Moon

Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone

Maximo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars

Megadeth - Peace Sells

X - I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts

Green Day - Longview

Nirvana - Love Buzz

White Zombie - Black Sunshine

Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia (the Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death version specifically, the one off FFFRV is really good too but not AS good imo)

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Ram Jam - Black Betty (yes, really, pay attention to the bass during the guitar solo)

Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass

The Faint - I Disappear

Bush - Alien (Comedown has a really good one too)

Soul Coughing - The Idiot Kings

Duran Duran - Rio (Girls on Film too)

James Gang - Funk #49

Vampire Weekend - A-Punk

Authority Zero - No Regrets
