Off the top of my head, in no particular order, there's...
Close To The Edge
Abby Road
Rio
Hemispheres
Piece of Mind
Grand Funk Red
Led Zep II
And oddly enough, they all sound REALLY GOOD! The mix is just right IMO.
I just realized -- these are very old recordings! lol
Any others? |

Elvis Costello's work with the Attractions has Bruce's bass on par with Elvis' voice. Check out "This Year's Model" or "Armed Forces."
I like that both of these are considered "punk" despite punk often having the reputation for burying rootline bassnotes under the guitars.
