So many to choose from. At the time I hated the song but now I really appreciate that driving bass.

very true, but I would have gone with love games, theat slap base intro drives the song all the way to the end

The bassline on Rio by Duran Duran is totally epic. I never noticed it when it was in the charts, but it's really makes the song special.

Somewhere In The Ether…

As previously mentioned, Mark King of Level 42 fame is an absolutely astounding bassist.

He can play every trick in the book and then some and always supplied incredibly memorable bass lines
