The 10 greatest basslines in music | Forums

[ezpickenz]

This, 1000 times over. How could there be any list of great bass lines and not have this song?

Because Rush has so many great bass lines competing for the same spot?

It's arguably the best rock bass performance ever.

Aren't you being a bit premature?

Here's another great Rush bass line: Leave That Thing Along - Rush



I also like Red Barchetta.

Here's another great straight rock groove: Motorhead - Hawkwind



You could argue he isn't the greatest bass player, but Lemmy is still awesome. Mostly for killing neighbouring lawns after moving in.

Yes, Rush has a lot of great basslines, but YYZ is considered by a large number of bassists to be one of, if not the best rock bass composition ever.

I am going to say Rush: The Trees or Soundgarden: Spoonman. Just wondering how do you share those videos for songs on here?

On the Rush Documentary, Beyond the Lighted Stage, a lot of professional bassists talk about how YYZ is surpassed by La Villa Strangiato.
