Please select from one of the 19 options, or pick other and post your selection. I tried to research all the threads on TB to come up with my options. I tried to stick to mainstream music, so I did not include Jaco. You will also see that several notable omissions, as I am going to keep this only to 19 songs. Have fun!
I will take the input from everyone that selected the OTHER option and create another poll for the other semi-final. I will then have a final with 20 options.

I know its gonna be denigrated by a lot of people, who believe that you can only be a good bassist if you play Jazz or Funk, but the speed, technicality and the way it perfectly holds the rhythm, while at the same time supplementing, and taking, the melody.

| | | I'm just confused that a bassist would find "Dazed and Confused" more appealing than "Ramble On".

While I think all those bass lines are popular; I don't think anyone is as popular as Michael Jackson. That's why I went with "Billy Jean."

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Washington, DC | | | i tried to go one per artist, but couldnt decide between under pressure and another one bites the dust, so i threw in RHCP's cover of higher ground. i also wanted superstitution in there, but a lot of people like Wonder's I was made to love her. |
