Best Groove on the Radio

Everyone is always talking about bass solos, so this may change it up a bit.

What is the tightest bass/drum groove that you've ever heard in popular music?

I'll throw one out there: Ascension from Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite album.

Incredibly tight and funky - and simple!

that ridiculous "rapper's delight" song by sugar hill gang. i know they ripped it off from chic but their version grooves harder for some reason.

I really like rock song "Mountain Men" by The Crash Kings

Simple but effective...........Everybody Rules The World by Tears For Fears! Or Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel! I loves songs with steady pulsing basslines!

Counting Crows' "This Desert Life" album has some great stuff on it.

+1 - Michael Jackson's music has tons of great bass lines! Billie Jean anyone?
