I recon,
If a song is bad, no bassline is gonna make it work.
If a song is good and the arrangement sux, a good bass part can only do so much.
If the song is good and all else is too, then a good basspart won't feel out of place and help , just as much as all the other parts.
My two cent.

Since you started with Paul Simon how about " Call Me Al " ? You even get to see Paul do a bass solo
Thanks for that; I was thinking about that bass line just the other day!
That's what I was thinking, the O'Jays all the way, featuring the great Eddie Levert on lead vocals. Now that songs going to be in my head the rest of the night. Actually, I just changed the tune--
the O'Jays, "Give the People What They Want!"
