Most recognizable song that starts with bass?

[Mike Money]

I'm gonna have to go with Bro Hymn....

 

[Jonny B]

Under Pressure - Queen / David Bowie?

 

[lowendgenerator]

Got The Time - Anthrax

Or....

My Name Is Mud - Primus


Oh, recognizable to you?

 

[infinitetoast]

46 & 2 - Tool

among many others..

 

[Jonny B]

Is the question posed as the most recognizable song in general, or to the individual poster?

If we're talking about the most recognizable opening bass line in popular music, then I would have to stick with Under Pressure.

If we're talking about me personally, I would have to go with Innocent Exile by Iron Maiden.

 

[Blackbird]

A tie

Come Together - Beatles and Low Rider - War

 

[Wasp]

Harry Connick Junior - Whisper Your Name

I'd agree with 'Under Pressure' though.

 

[Vandelay]

EDIT: Uh, never mind.

 

[Matthew Bryson]

I'm gonna have to go with Bro Hymn....

Never heard of it.

My vote goes to NIB

 

[Jumbotron]

Doesn't Low Rider start with the cowbell?
I'd nominate the Beastie Boys' Sabotage, but it starts with a drum crack along with the bass.

 

[DWBass]

My Girl-The Temptations

I'm going to cheat and say Jumpin' Jack Flash. The song doesn't start until the bass slide up to the high Bb.

 

[El-Bob]

sea of lies by symphony X is pretty recognizable
