I’ve got to page two and no one has suggested Rapper’s Delight?

bass only just gets in first here but he’s a great bass player and it’s their best song IMO

Off to bed but leaving with some cheating – not an intro an probably no actual bass in there:

Pink Floyd obvs
(takes a while to get started, mind)
+1 for Safe From Harm, killer tune…

Great choice for One of These Days. I’d like to add Money.

Soulside

Beefeater

Minor Threat

As mentioned above but no vid, Fugazi, Waiting Room.

Not sure why not embedding videos but…

The God That Failed, Metallica

He may not have been revered in the same way as Cliff Burton but Jason Newsted delivered some great playing imo.

And I know it’s not an intro but this still bends my mind in bass playing.

Anaesthesia

And one more for luck.

Not an intro but you can’t have a thread about bass without Primus. Love them or loathe them nobody has skills like Mr Claypool!

Apologies in advance if it gives you nightmares.

Bit of a cheat, the video shows a Steinberger style headless bass, but it was actually recorded with a Prophet analogue synth. Still a great line no matter what you play it on.

Well if we are doing Buddy Guy…

Philippe Bussonet is in a league of his own here

Aerosmith Sweet Emotion

Was looking for something from Rhonda Smith but sadly found wanting of an intro. Bloody good player though, saw her with Jeff Beck a few years back.

@funkmasterp thank god, I was getting worried for a moment there!

both bloody awesome

Propellerheads doing a Bond theme, lots of bass.

Muse – Hysteria…

OHMSS is a fantastic track, another favourite of that era:

And it would seem wrong not to:

^^ wonder if anyone else had thought of “Love Song”..?

I can’t believe this isn’t posted already so apols if i missed it

Just listening to Parquet Courts album Wide Awake! Basically every track is completely driven by the bassist. Groovin’ in the kitchen whilst washing up

^^ bin dun

Most of my suggestions have been made, breeder, sugar hill gang, massive attack, prodigy etc

Can’t believe this one hasn’t been posted yet!

Right, having delve back in time before I got in to dance music
