Originally a Charles Wright and the Watts baseline but much better in this:

Not a Killers fan but this is a proper baseline...

I guess some people didn't read this!

[i]Been asked to do a round for a quiz, 'Guess the bassline'

Need some ideas for [b]recognisable basslines[/b] from any genre/age to get a good balance for oldies and younguns.[/i]

So, Lifer - what'cha choosing for the quiz?

Still deciding! It's the newer ones that are more difficult to choose but probably

Come Together - Beatles
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Bille Jean - MJ
Under Pressure - Queen
Block Rocking Beats - Chemical Brothers
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes

Need six more, got a lot of maybes at the moment.

TBH I was expecting a bit of 'mission creep' but ta for reposting that Dez!

If you want a good trick question, get hold of the intro to Herbie Hancock's "Bring Down The Birds" (or "Dee-lite - Groove is in the Heart" as everyone will answer, as that is what sampled it)
