Title: Waiting Room
\nArtist: Fugazi
\nAlbum: 13 Songs (1989)
\nSubmitted By: Romeo Sid Vivicious
\nComments: This one took no thought at all. The opening to this song is what comes to mind any time any one mentions a bass line. This album this one is off of was an icebreaker between me and my now best friend when we first met and to this day still makes my playlists 22 years later. God damn it now I feel fucking old\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Title: Chicken Strut
\nArtist: The Meters
\nAlbum: Struttin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (1970)
\nSubmitted By: Phil Norman \u00e2\u20ac\u201c @philnorman \u00e2\u20ac\u201c www.bluemoonshineband.com<\/a>
\nComments: I dig the current neo-funk-soul revival of bands like Sugarman 3, but I dig The Meters even more. Also, this song has chicken noises.<\/p>\n

Title: Yes
\nArtist: Morphine
\nAlbum: Yes (1995)
\nSubmitted by: April @ Now This Sound Is Brave
\nComments: Since the general makeup of Morphine was drums, baritone sax and two-string slide bass, nearly every song they recorded was built around a killer bassline. But the bassline on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is the one that most frequently makes me rock out and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Damn.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Title: Queen of Canton Street
\nArtist: Eleven Hundred Springs
\nAlbum: Welcome to Eleven Hundred Springs (1999)
\nSubmitted By: @mikeorren
\nComments: In my mind, the best country acts use bass to create an R&B rhythm behind the fiddle, slide and twang. This is one of my favorite examples, as well as some nice songwriting from Matt the Cat. (Hint: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Naomi\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was one of Dallas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 best country bars, not a woman.)<\/p>\n

Title: Comfortable In Your Arms
\nArtist: Tom Freund
\nAlbum: Copper Moon (2005)
\nSubmitted By: toomuchcountry
\nComments: Before pursuing his solo career, West Coaster Freund played in a couple of fantastic bands: first with then unknown Ben Harper and later with The Silos. His bass playing is as smooth as a tumbler of Kentucky bourbon. Be sure to check out the video of this song at www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l98sRV-TXkY.<\/p>\n

Title: Testarossa
\nArtist: Sir Mix-a-Lot
\nAlbum: Mack Daddy (1992)
\nSubmitted By: Autopsy IV (ninebullets.net<\/a>)
\nComments: The 808 kick drum makes the girlies get dumb.<\/p>\n

Title: Young Man Blues
\nArtist: The Who
\nAlbum: Live at Leeds (1970)
\nSubmitted BY: Rockstar_Aimz<\/a>
\nComments: I recently heard the Foo Fighters cover of this song, and while their version is good, Nate Mendel is no John Entwistle. This song has so many killer parts, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Entwistle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s driving base line that makes it kick so much ass. Although it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not an original, this song represents The Who musically at their very best<\/p>\n

Title: People, Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Stop The War
\nArtist: Grand Funk Railroad
\nAlbum: E Pluribus Funk (1971)
\nSubmitted by: Truersound
\nComments: What Homer Simpson calls \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Title: Mona
\nArtist: Quicksilver Messenger Service
\nAlbum: Happy Trails (1969)
\nSubmitted By: Shooter Jennings<\/a><\/p>\n

Title: The Real Me
\nArtist: The Who
\nAlbum: Quadrophenia (1973)
\nSubmitted By: erschen
\nComments: My introduction to this song was by the 80\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2s Metal Band W.A.S.P. Which got me to look into deeper cuts from The Who. Thanks, Blackie!! John Entwistle sure could play. What a rhythm section, Keith Moon & John Entwistle.<\/p>\n

Title: The Escape
\nArtist: Radio Moscow
\nAlbum: Brain Cycles (2009)
\nSubmitted By: @popa2unes
\nComments: Comprised of singer\/songwriter\/guitarist Parker Griggs, drummer Corey Berry and bassist Zach Anderson \u00e2\u20ac\u201cthe rebirth of the Power Trio. Call it blues rock, call it psychedelic, call it hard-grooved stoner rock, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cream on steroids<\/p>\n

Title: Nice \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Sleazy
\nArtist: The Stranglers
\nAlbum: Black and White (1978)
\nSubmitted By: The Second Single
\nComments: With regards to killer basslines, when in doubt, pull out some late \u00e2\u20ac\u212270s\/early \u00e2\u20ac\u212280s British punk.<\/p>\n

Title: My Generation
\nArtist: The Who
\nAlbum: My Generation \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Deluxe Version (2002)
\nSubmitted By: Simon
\nComments: No choice to make on the track, other than which version to submit.<\/p>\n

Title: Potential Suicide
\nArtist: The Wipers
\nAlbum: Is This Real
\nSubmitted By: verbow1
\nComments: Another band I discovered thanks to one Mr. Kurt Cobain. Very heavy song \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and pretty depressing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c stay away from the handguns after listening to this one.<\/p>\n

Title: Myage
\nArtist: Descendents
\nAlbum: Milo Goes To College (1981)
\nSubmitted By: @marioegarcia (@imperialrooster)
\nComments: If we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking killer basslines it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard not to submit something by Motorhead or the Minutemen (or Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five). I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been struggling with this selection for a little bit but decided to submit this Descendents song. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the song that made me fall in love with punk rock, a relationship that has alternately ruined my life and made my life worth living at various points. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk about that bassline. The Ventures after about six pots of coffee this is one of those lines that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s guaranteed to get my motor going in the morning, especially when Bill Stevenson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wipeout drums lock in time with the bass.<\/p>\n

Title: The Hanging Garden
\nArtist: The Cure
\nAlbum: Pornography (1982)
\nSubmitted by: Slowcoustic
\nComments: Because I was every alternative outcast character of a mid 80\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2s John Hughes film, I listened to said \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcalternative\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 music because it made me better than the rest of the Junior High\/High School normals. Because of this early emo angst, I was introduced to The Cure. And it changed music for me forever. The bass lines on the album might not be killer, as they are fairly straight forward, but are also quite pronounced. The album is dark & echoing due to the heavy bass & percussion aspect, and it almost pushed me to eyeliner\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.almost.<\/p>\n

Title: Your Mama Wants Ya Back
\nArtist: Betty Davis
\nAlbum: They Say I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m Different (Originally released in 1974; reissued with bonus tracks in 2007)
\nSubmitted By: BoogieStudio22
\nComments: This was a very tough choice. Whittled my library down to 32 songs with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer bass lines\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Then down to five songs. In the end, went with this Betty Davis track, with nasty sounding vocals to complement the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153killer bass line\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. BTW, Betty Davis was married to Miles Davis in \u00e2\u20ac\u212268, divorced in \u00e2\u20ac\u212269.<\/p>\n

Title: Six Pack
\nArtist: Black Flag
\nAlbum: The First Four Years
\nSubmitted by: AnnieTUFF
\nComments: After a lot of thinking about Killer Bass lines, and about technical skill vs just sounding badass. I had to choose this song. Because it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter where I am, who I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m with or what is going on with my life, when I hear the first couple of notes of this song I wanna get rowdy. And who doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wanna get rowdy?<\/p>\n

Title: Belle
\nArtist: Al Green
\nAlbum: The Belle Album (1977)
\nSubmitted By: Adam Sheets
\nComments: Great bass here courtesy of Reuben Fairfax Jr. and an excellent performance from the undisputed King of Memphis soul. This is perhaps Green\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most ambiguous number and those who aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t paying close attention to the lyrics are likely to interpret this one far differently than the artist intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
