OldGit Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Wow Excellent stuff and I'm only up to 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Oh man they got Coup by 23 Skidoo (originally FU G.I). Now thats a CLASS bassline(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 As is always the case with these kinds of list-regardless of instrument-this is what's know in the trade as sh*te. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayGarrett Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There are some groovy songs in that list and some unexpected gems from the likes of the Damned and Gang of Four. One thing in the lists favour is the fact that it's not all fancy showboating, 2 hands on the fretboard, slap work outs Saying that though - Jerry Was a Racecar Driver is superb I can feel a Basschat Top 50 approaching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah nice to see groove being considered not acrobatic's Doddy I respect the comment that these list's are often sh*te but its hardly that serious and meant more as a way to spend some time wasting on the web. Also its a way to be exposed to other genres of music and to some missed gems. I stumbled across the list looking for some good covers songs for a Christmas gig back home and not only have I found some top tunes to play but also some classic's to spin between bands. In its defence its not as bad as the Channel 4's offerings of Top 100 shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4lve Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 cool. flat beat at no 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Looks like a good list - going to have to check out the songs I don't know. Sorry but I really don't think Under Pressure is the best bassline ever - far from it. It's cool but there are a lot better in my opinion.

Marvin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 no.12 The Breeders- Cannonball, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredders Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Under Pressure a better bassline than Bernadette? C'mon... Still, at least the Clash made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry but this list stuff is just cheap magazine filler. Mojo has pages of meaningless lists every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 If they would of been arranged in random order, without a 50 to 1 they would have made even better reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
