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.

Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
RHCP - By The Way
The Bronx - False Alarm
Radiohead - The National Anthem
