Teen Town. After you get that down, you can tackle some Fieldy. :p

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

Crazy Train by Ozzy/Black Sabbath (depending on your beleif)

Guerrilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine

Easy songs. Very easy, really.

All this is too easy. The first things you'll want to try are the Bach cello suites, then you can maybe work your way up to stuff like Blink 182.

Listen to some of The Who - the basslines on the studio work isn't nearly as intimidating as trying to replicate Entwistle's live fretboard pyrotechnics.

"Baba O'Riley" strikes me as a song that's both classy, simple to learn, loads of fun to play along to, and leaves plenty of room for trying to do some new things of your own.

the ones with less notes.
Try fifties, sixties rock or some blues.

U2. With or Without You. 4 notes. Can be played all on the E string.

Good Times by Chic

great song to practice your groove on.

Grand Conjuration by opeth. First song I learned, pretty easy just have to play at a moderately quick pace.

Astroman420, what have you done to earn all this vitriolic flattery?

Couple of honest questions here. How old are you. I am 54. And what do you like? There are some 'easy' Beatle songs to learn, which I think were the best from the 60's. Before and after that time have great songs that are very good for learning 'easy' bass lines too!

Please let us know what you are interested in playing and there are those of us here that will be happy to help you go from there.

3 chord rock 'n roll - think G-C-D and C-F-G - tons of songs from the 50s and 60s particularly. :cool:

Sweet Home Alabama/Warewolves of London/All Summer Long.

All 3 are the same song and consist of 3 notes all the way through..... DCG....

Moved to General Instruction.

Blues stuff is good cause it is easy to start to play but then you can get really complicated with it if you want - eg Hey Joe is fun to play, especially with the chromatic/walking bass line.

And other 50/60's songs like people have already said.

But you can take any song and start with a basic bass line and build it. You don't have to play everything note for note - just get ideas from the parts/sounds you like.

I always start with the Root for any chord - usually add the 5th and then I might just experiment trying to find only 1 other note to use. That's kind of how I build my bass lines. I am not a great bass player - but no one I play with in bands ever complains about me playing simple lines - I think they like it cause I play in time and I don't step on the guitar players toes.

I break out into stuff every now and then but you really don't have to.

Keep everything simple I say - if a song sounds complicated to play on bass, simplify it.
