Favorite Examples of Fuzz, Overdrive, or Distortion

I know the topic of dirt has been discussed to death around here, so hows about a thread where people just submit their favorite examples of fuzz, overdrive, or distortion (either live or from a studio recording).

P.S. Try to make it something a little different, we're all aware of Muse and Metallica.

overdrive — Gallon Drunk - "Some Fool's Mess"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_3Ar9ZzyHg

distortion — Daisy Chainsaw - "Love Your Money"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QnInDnHWl0

fuzz — the Who - "Dogs Part 2" (there are two simultaneous bass tracks, panned left and right, one has fuzz on it, most noticable in the little bass solo bit)

Church Of Misery - I, Mother****er (Ted Bundy) - killer riffs and distorted bass tone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRm_JThG35g

Black Label Society - Mother Mary - great example of bass distortion, one of my favourite tones of all time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYyijGxlSh4

Ufomammut - Hopscotch - even more distortion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnGQZP18v9A

Weedeater - Monkey Junction -another example of sludge killer bass tone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9IICXc26o8

Deer Creek (tracks 'The Gateway Was Broken', 'Born to Sin') has also the tone I love but it's not on YouTube.

As for overdrive, I think it's Lemmy's trademark, I especially like it on tracks like 'Bomber' or 'Stone Dead Forever'. Early Geezer Butler is one of my heroes too. As for some artist you guys here don't know, Polish bassist Deriglasoff has awesome tube overdriven sound too, check it if you want:

I've always liked the Ash song "Jack Names the Planets", from the soundtrack to the movie "Angus." The fuzz bass really jumps out during the verses.

Ralphe Armstrong played some wicked fuzz solos w/Jean Luc Ponty in the 80's.

You can't have a fuzz bass discussion on here without me throwing Paul Barker into the mix!
