Let's not forget that one of the criteria is that it's got to be SIMPLE. And simple by anyone's definition. (The Fish is a great song, but simple? Uhhhh....)
Looking for bass lines that are impressive not because they're difficult to play, but because they're so stinkin' cool that you just can't stand it. 
And isn't Dragon Attack the epitome of "riff rock"?
Which reminds me... how about "Everybody Wants You" by Billy Squier (which sounds a fair amount like Dragon Attack!)?
