Bass-centric songs

Come Together by the Beatles, and Give It Away by the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the two that immediately come to mind, and strangely enough, those two bass lines are VERY similar.

That is an interesting comment. When I learned to play that RHCP song I thought is a copy based on Free's "The Stealer". One of their best songs but not picked up bythe public.

And of course, there's my main man John Paul Jones. Listen to Ramble On and What is and What Should Never Be off of Zep II and you'll hear two songs that would fall flat on their face with out the bass. Not to mention the badass bass solo on Lemon Song, the very piece of music that made me pick up the instrument in the first place.

Don't forget " Nobody's fault but mine" one of his sickest songs on bass for sure.

Oh, how about Stealer's Wheel's Stuck in the Middle, definitely bass-oriented song!

Wait, there are other instruments on that song? I never noticed.

I think I posted it in another thread, but Phil Collins' "Sussudio." There is practically nothing worth noting in that song other than Lee Sklar's bass line.
