Songs that epitomize a particular bass tone?

[redbeard74]

I am trying to educate myself about tone. I have realized that I don't really know that much about it. I have read a lot of adjectives such as
fat
warm
clean
thick
bright
rich
punchy
crunchy
round
tubey
growl (actually a verb)

I thought it would be helpful if some of you with tone opinions listed some songs that have a bass tone that you feel is a good example of a particular tyoe of tone "genre." Then I could have something to listen to to go along with the descriptions I have been reading. Also any info on how the tone was achieved would be cool, but not critical.
Or if there is another post like this (I didn't find one) point me along.
Thanks!

The Who - My Generation takes half of them

Police - Can't Stand Losing You, Rush - Limelight, and Michael Jackson - Thriller take the rest while overlapping a bit.

D.A.N.C.E by Justice has a lot of growl. Kind of sharp. Very punchy.

Bass for "would" epitomized the NS2 tone

This track from Sam & Dave - played by the unmatched Duck Dunn - is what a Precision bass is all about. Punchy, fat, not too bright, strong mids. One of the greatest bass lines ever played, and what a P-bass SHOULD sound like. With a sound like this, every bass wants to be a P.

The one I posted would then be the p-bass evil twin...

Sorry, sounds totally dead to me.
Needs to be a lot brighter and clearer.

To each his own, I guess.
