Nothing makes a song good/great unless it has a solid bass backing it up. Post some tunes you think qualify.

Better than Ezra - Good

One of the most recognizable bass lines of all time:

Peace Sells

Another of my favorites:

Big News I & II

Dazed and confused or just about anything else from john paul jones.

Also, pretty much anything from geddy lee. My favorite is probably YYZ.

I knew you'd be coming strong with Entwhistle, 'bout fuckin' time... but I have to choose Eminence Front

How the fuck DO you do that, btw?

This far into the thread and no mention of Tool, maybe Stinkfist and Sober for starters?


You guys suck.

You're a Tool. Only tards would listen two FM radio singles as Tool's premier songs for bass lines.

How about Third Eye or 46&2, tard?

I listed those because the non Tool diehards would probably be familiar with them. If you weren't fucking retarded, you may have noticed I phrased that in a way that implied multiple Tool songs might qualify.


But you never m9iss a chance to KYOA with this shit, do you? You're as bad as Bace, what with this attitude of "If it's ever been played on a non-college station, it's no good! Only I'M the enlightened one here, dammit!"

Pretty funny.

I was listening to Tool when you were still in diapers, bud. Then again, so were people who just heard the band for the first time last week, so I guess that isn't saying much.


But seriously -- has it ever occured to you-that-spouts-the-mantra-of-the-ultranerd that maybe, just possibly, a mainstream band's most popular hits...

Now stay with me here, JTR-On-Steroids...

That those are a band's most popular hits for a reason?


Yeah, yeah... I know. Next, you're going to tell me all about how much deeper and better all Men Without Hats other songs were than the Safety Dance.



Save it, douchetube.

Because they were the radio singles and had the most exposure, you fucking idiot. God, you're fucking stupid. How you are even able to wipe your ass unassisted is beyond me.

Gobbles McSkinFlute: Great call. I got a new MGMT bootleg today, it's pretty epic. I'm looking forward to listening to it at work.

EAD, tard.

If it’s a bootleg, I assume it was free. Rack you for not overpaying. By much.

Swoon

In addition to Tool, first thing that came to mind here was 'Maiden's "Phantom of the Opera."
