Only if you want 20 different correct answers as the bass line is a classic reggae rift used by many Reggae artists and a fair few pop including Beats International, Dub be good to me.
For The Stranglers, Peaches, surely?
jefferson Airplanes White rabbit is a classic and pretty well known and recognisable

Thanks for all the suggestions - some great ones in there.
Would like some newer ones though as it's for an Office quiz so be a bit unfair if it's just older stuff. Looking for stuff post 2005 please.

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

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.
