There is nothing else like "The Real Me" by the Who. Entwistle playing lead guitar on his bass. Probably my favorite rock song ever done.

Yeah, it's awesome...except the WASP version is even better.

My Friend of Misery - Metallica - actually has 2 bass tracks, lead and rhythm

Pretenders - Ohio

"Would?" and "Nutshell" by Alice in Chains. Both make awesome use of bass.

Already mentioned, in no particular order, Money, Another One Bites the Dust, Would?

I would add:

Tool - The Pot

(ETA: For guys saying any song by The Who - most of their songs rode on the bass because they had to. They didn't have a drummer, because they had a keyboard player with sticks behind the kit who couldn't have kept time with a metronome.)
