It seems there's been more than one band called Om and the one I know of also has some brilliant bass playing.

Good stuff - leaning towards psych to my ears.

Hatfield and The North - The Rotters Club. Richard Sinclair’s tone is absolutely extraordinary and he sings beautiful while playing as well. Such a great band from the Canterbury scene.

I suspect many bassists of my generation learned from Lemmy's propulsive playing on Hawkwind's 'Space Ritual'

 

 

Yep, this & the Sabbath compilation "We Sold Our Souls For Rock"N"Roll" is where it all began for me.

Stanley Clarke - School Days

Stanley Clarke - Stanley Clarke

Level 42 - True Colours

MK at his most creative

 

RHCP - BSSM

Flea’s Wal tone and joyous lines

 

Brad - Shame

Jeremy Toback’s sublime playing on this - one of Seattle’s lost gems

 

Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet

Dan Roberts high in the mix and so melodic

 

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple or Tiny Music - Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop

Robert DeLeo is an absolute beast on these two albums
