So, I thought that this may be a fun thread to start, if we're lucky this can be a sticky and we can get more folks to join in...
I am wondering what you are listening to right now that would be considered "embarassing"...you know, you dig your mom's Andy Williams CD...something like that. It could have great bass lines or just be some music that you dig but may not want your friends to know...
I'll start...I have been listening to the Original Cast soundtrack for "Grease"... If you have not heard it before, there is some great bass on the whole CD.
Ok, your turn! |

And I have to admit to liking some of these new country ballads! I also dig the old Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick music! My background is straight up old school funk and R&B!

Also +1 for Michael Buble...saw him in concert, pretty funny guy.

I've since started listening to a lot of bluegrass and folk and a lot of Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, and everything I can get from Tommy Emmanuel (who does an amazing job of keeping bass lines going with his thumb). Most of my hard rocking friends think I've fallen off my perch. |

I can't get enough of that song "ridin' durty," myself. I know, it's the best hiphop has to offer... but it's so hilariously awesome. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: I been everywhere, man... | | | I've been digging some of the Pop confections from the 80's that originated from England, especially Bananarama, Rick Astley, and Dead or Alive. These acts all have the same production team in common : the brilliant yet sometimes reviled Stock, Aitken, and Waterhouse. They were roughly the UK equivalent of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - good tunes, and slick production that seemed to have a signature sound. Outside of SAW, Swing Out Sister was a marvelous act that inarguably featured some of the best bass synth lines of the times, courtesy of Richard Niles.
I've been revisiting the soundtrack to the film version of "The Wiz". This album actually may have some TalkBass "cred" because Anthony Jackson played bass on it.
Lastly, I've been really into the Burt Bacharach stuff that has Elvis Costello singing on it. Sappy, yes - but also brilliant. I also have been pulling out some old Enuff Z'Nuff records. Those guys somehow managed to combine Poison and Cheap Trick into a Pop Metal melange that I was too busy turning my nose up at when it first came out.
