It wasn’t virtuoso stuff, but Chas Chandler’s opening bass riffs on The Animals “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” “It’s My Life,” and “Bring It On Home To Me” were attention-grabbers. Danny McCullough of “Eric Burdon & The Animals” did some more complex stuff on “Monterrey,” including a solo mid-song. And I think it was Keith Richards playing bass on the Stones’ “Casino Boogie,” which I always thought stood out.

Rock: “The Real Me” by the Who

I've heard that Daltrey was always annoyed that Entwhistle's bass was allowed to overwhelm his vocals on that track.

Bring It On Home

Most Under rated John Paul Jones Bass Track

During the Hard Rock Part (Not the Old Western Beginning), listen closely to the bass. It almost sounds like he’s playing bass for a different song, but it still works out perfectly.

I’ve heard but can’t confirm he also sometimes played the Bass and Piano at the same time during some live No Quarter solos.

Saw PMG with Richard Bona, and they played Bright Size Life as a trio, Richard did Jaco proud.

JPJ’s playing on the Zeppelin songs mentioned upthread has a strong JJ influence.

The greatest bass line of all time is the intro to The O’Jays “For the Love of Money”.

Queen’s Under Pressure is at 30 and is my favorite bassline, at least the most memorable.

Probably included it for the little bass solos that he does in that one which are easy to hear because the rest of the band drops out.

Andy Rourke from The Smiths is underrated. “Barbarism Begins at Home” has a killer bassline.
