Hi everyone!

 

The bass can be an instrument that goes unnoticed by some people.

However, there are many songs with bass riffs that I love; here are a few that I have in mind:

Hysteria by Muse

The Less I Know The Better by Tame Impala

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by The Smiths

Longview by Green Day

Peace Sells by Megadeth

Last Train To London by Electric Light Orchestra

Dark Necessities by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Orion by Metallica

Flesh and the Power It Holds by Death

How about you? What are your favorite bass riffs?

Real bass:

Unconditional by The Bravery
Above the Sky by Majestica
New Dark Ages by Bad Religion

Fake bass, still cool:

In Love - Desired

Turn Around - Rundfunk

As a Queen fan, I initially thought of Under Pressure and Another One Bites the Dust; however, there are few more Queen songs where the bass is worth listening to.

Some examples are:
1. Dragon Attack
2. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
3. A Kind of Magic (there's even a small bass solo)
4. Breakthru

I also noticed recently the bass in the live version of Heroes (David Bowie) and it gives a nice rhythm to the song.

A bit more modern I'll say 

Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish
HUMBLE. by Kendrick Lamar (synthesized bass) 

If I am going for the classics or other genres:

Schism  by Tool 
Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes
The Chain   by Fleetwood Mac

Hi @GHXST223 I apologize for the delay in responding.

I've listened to all three songs and I liked the bass tones in each of them.

Regarding the song RightClickSaveIt by BONES, I could also appreciate the simple but hypnotic drum rhythm.

Thanks for your recommendations. If you have more, I'd appreciate it if you shared them. I'll be more attentive to your comments.

I would also add Baby Said and Honey by Mรฅneskin. I didn't recall I had collected this song and found it again when I was checking my Collection.

Specifically for Honey, the bass can be much appreciated around the minute 1:35.

Hi @GHXST223 Thank you for recommending the song Frozen by Madonna, I really enjoyed it ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿ˜

And @LeonPandora thanks for recommending both songs, I really like Mรฅneskin and you're right! the bass is more easily heard and imposing at minute 1:35.

If you both have any further recommendations, I'd love to listen to them.

Take a look at this song

The song is called hollow by diggy graves 

As a matter of fact take a look and listen to all of diggy graves's songs because they tell a story and that story matches my life down to the minute detail(then get back to me about how his songs made you feel and all the ever so wonderful details) because I am so **ahem** close to snapping and losing my chill and hurt myself in a way to where I can't go back
