Famous songs with bass solos.

When I saw the thread title, the first song to jump into my mind was "My Generation" by the Who. I've read a couple times that many people credit that song as having the first rock bass solo ever. Who knows.... awesome bass sound, though

 

maxwell murder - rancid

 

Led Zeppelin: Lemon Song

 

"I'll Take You There" by The Staple Singers
"Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey (well, I don't know if that tune would qualify as being "famous", but...).
"Everything Is Everything" (live version) by Donny Hathaway (famous in the soul world at least...).
"Nite Klub" by The Specials (kind of a bass solo, I guess).

 

Day Tripper-Beatles, the whole melody is really the bass being doubled by guitars in places.
Money-Pink Floyd- lead bass all the way.
Break on Through- Doors, I know, they had no bass player, but tell be that song doesn't have lead bass, even if it does come from the keys?
Sunshine of Your Love-Cream

 

Pretty much any Cliff Burton era Metallica

Call of Ktulu
Anestesia (Pulling Teeth)
Orion
For whom the Bell Tolls

(to name a few)

 

N.I.B.-Black Sabbath

 

In addition to other songs mentioned Metallica's version of Crash course In Brain Surgery is pretty cool. Starts out with one then has another one about 3/4 through the song. That whole song is kind of carried by the bass.

 

Brown Eyed Girl

 

I'm not "seeing" this one. Now I'll have to put the album on....might as well do Moon Dance at the same time, huh?

 

All Right Now...

 

Heck. Yes. I second this, third this, and fourth this.

 

King of the Road....

Great, now I have "Trailers for sale or rent" going through my head...
