Starless Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Badfinger, No Matter What. Not to be confused with a more recent song with the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louisthebass Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Not sure if this qualifies, but this is a classic (bizarre video though....): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cp_3NEWTzU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cp_3NEWTzU[/url] This came out the year before I started primary school - happy times in Chelmo!

paul_5 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's already been posted, but IMO 'Good Vibrations' is the best pop single ever - sheer brilliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbass Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 At the risk of pushing this thread (and some people's tastes) too far, I've always thought this was the essence of pop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOvcytygY_M&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I really like the new one out by The Shins; but having checked it out on Youtube the video is one of the worst I've ever seen. Still might buy the album though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoLTPcD1S4Q&ob=av2e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyKnees Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7R7q1lSZfs[/media] Ok, I know it doesn't actually have any bass guitar on it, but it's a great example of a pop song that manages to be slightly subversive and use non-standard time signatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judo Chop Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 This one probably isn't very well known, but it's another good little three minute pop song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcyK-edUByk&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, Killer Queen, the essence of 70s Queen distilled. And here's another classic on which the bass playing's not too bad either : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svAs-6MiqxE[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't know if it's just at the front of my mind due to the recent sad demise of Davy Jones, but I think this has got to be a contender: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUSdvwEC_Y"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUSdvwEC_Y[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musophilr Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Some good stuff here, but here's my vote. The man's a master, and the composer is a truly brilliant woman.
