The Lemon Song is what first leaps to mind when it comes to great bass lines. Chuck Rainey has some great ones on The Royal Scam, too.

Awesome, I saved this. I know most of these but not all.
I would have picked the bass line from “Use Me” over Lovely Day but that’s a minor quibble.

No mention of Pete Steel or Locomotive Breath, it might as well be.

XTC has always been one of my favorite bands. Huge, huge talent there, from all the members.

One of these days, people might realize…that’s not a “bass”. That’s an electronic simulation.
Just like Crocodile Dundee.

JJ had so many iconic lines it’s incredible. The Book “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” is must for bass players.
It has recordings and transcripts, fantastic. Bernadette, I Was Born To Love Her, oh my!
The songs recorded are played by all your favorite bassists imitating JJ, it’s really something.

Good to see that Cream made the list twice.
Jack Bruce was a magnificent bass player, as well as lyricist and vocalist.

David Hood put down some great bass tracks, IMO.
