Listen close to Duran Duran’s John Taylor’s bass work on the song RIO. It’s insane.

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy

Honestly, I hate this song for a long time until someone in a Steven Wilson group pointed out Nick Begg's work on it.

John Entwistle on "The Real Me" is great.

I'll roll with Dusty Hill on Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings.

Talking heads tunes are typically very heavy bass. Always a fan of tina Weymouth. To bad byrne is such an a hole that they cant get together to tour.

I like Whipping Post and Whole Lotta Love. But I also like some of Verdine White’s lines in EWF songs.

Just listened to Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face. Deserves mention. It made me think of this thread.

A ton of great songs already mentioned so I’ll throw in Mudshovel by Staind. Love the bass licks in that song.

Also STP Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart is good bass work.
