Linda Ronstadt's version of, "Crazy," on her album, "Hasten Down The Wind." It's so slow it's almost backwards, but it's sooo smooth.

Also, "Punch Drunk," on Sade's album, "Promise." Very nice, slow instrumental tune. Sounds like something you'd hear a band play at the end of a long night.

'Soul To Squeeze' by the Chili Peppers. IMO, it's one of Flea's best.

Sorta slow, but a beautiful bass line.
