Here's a hint, kids: When thinking about "The Most Well-Known Bass Line Of All Time" think about not only what you & your peers know, but also what your parents and maybe even grandparents know. I'm sure we here (in TB) could all hum the bass line to Pink Floyd's "Money" by rote, but we're an incredibly marginalized niche compared to all the people in the world who A) never even heard of Pink Floyd, and B) still sat down in front of the tube religiously to watch Barney Miller. Or Lawrence Welk. |

You are incorrect. It wouldn't surprise me if she took credit for it, but it was Jim Hughart. |

What about famous classical music bass lines?
Beethoven's 5th - Movement #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI_3nDnWwmo
One could easily dip into early 20th century blues for bass lines...but here are some that are memorable....
Time is Tight - Booker T.
Peter Gunn theme - Mancini
Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group / Winwood

| You have no idea how wrong you are. "Everyone" of a certain type in your generation might know the song, but that's about it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
