Dude! You are so right! DeLeo kills it every time he plays. I always end up shaking my head when I listen to STP songs. Such an awesome bass player. Definitely in my top 3.

What's your best bass album (killing bass lines)? Please share your thoughts.

Sailing the seas of cheese.

Iron Maiden - Piece of mind
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Boston - Boston

All of these albums had some of the best bass work in my mind still to this day.

Extreme - Pornograffitti. Pat Badger lays down some mean and tasty bass lines. The into to “Get The Funk Out” is phenomenal.

Jim Croce? I’ve never really listened for the bass on his tunes... I’ll give it a try.

Great call. Totally forgot about that. I remember as a kid listening to his songs and thinking the bass kicked ass!
