On the Rolling Stones' "Live With Me", that was actually Keef playing bass. On that subject, it was also Mr. Richards playing a Precision on "Sympathy For The Devil", a really good low-end workout. But I digress...
Spencer Davis Group--"Keep On Running"(Muff Winwood)
The Association--"Along Comes Mary"(Joe Osborne?) This tune doesn't get thought of too much, but there's some tasty bass riffs in it
Eric Burdon/Animals---"Montery"(Danny McCulloch)The second 'psychedelic' version of the Animals, the bass totally drives this tune
The Outsiders---"Time Won't Let Me"(Mert Madson?)The basslines chug away non-stop, another great endurance
exercise workout.
Archie Bell and the Drells---"Tighten Up"(?)Just a simple pentatonic riff, but if you mess up the tempo, the song trainwrecks. Tighten up on that bass, and make it mellow...
Fontella Bass---"Rescue Me"(Phil Upchurch?)Once again, the bass propels the tune, plus you get a bit of solo riffing at the end
The Byrds---"Eight Miles High","So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star","My Back Pages"(Chris Hillman)His finest work with the band.
Elvis Presley---"Suspicious Minds"(Mike Leech)Percolating lines all the way through add to the urgency of the lyrics.
ANYTHING with Tommy Cogbill at the session.
I know I'll think of more later, but I wanted to avoid the 'usual suspects' and the expected Jamerson/Kaye/McCartney/Dunn examples(not that there's anything wrong with those), and also highlight instances where the bass parts not only stand out, but also serve the song.
