A lot of people think i'm insane, but i still say that song invented stoner/blues/psychadelic rock, It's quite simple, repetitive, got that huge bass groove running right down the middle, it just rewminds me a lot of early sabbath/blue cheer/hawkwind, maybe it's just me.

Anywho, to actually contribue to the thread, i just finally got down "Here's to life" by streetlight manifesto, took long enough. If you've never listened to it, do. A lot of people say the bassline is a lot of showing off and trying too hard, but i think it first perfectly to the song, and it captured perfectly the essence of ska

Spandau Ballet - Gold!!!! HA! Simple as but its really low in the mix.


And to balance it out I'm learning..


Victor Wootten - Can't Hold No Groove.. Just one of those I guess - you like the slappity, tappity goodness then I think its a kinda unwritten rule that you have to learn this.

(hopefully I'll regain any respect I lost with this lol!)

We used to do Hey there Delilah when we were doing covers. It's sounds great with the bass added.

Hey There Delilah and Yesterday, neither of which seem to have bass on the originals as far as I can tell![/quote]
