Falcon Man™ Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I am a huge fan of the bass, hence my infatuation with Funk, particularly Funkadelic. However, I will leave them out of my list for the moment (not easy for me lol).I really think Roundabout by YES has an outstanding bass line. I used to hear the song all the time when I was a kid, then I bought the remastered CD after I bought my first big rack stereo system when I was about 20 yrs old and I would blast that song. I am a pretty big fan of Les Claypool as well - "American Life" is great.And getting back to Parliament and still even today, I think the best bass player ever is Bootsy Collins...William Earl "Bootsy" Collins (born October 26, 1951) is an American musician and singer-songwriter.Rising to prominence with James Brown in the early 1970s, and later with Parliament-Funkadelic, Collins's driving bass guitar and humorous vocals established him as one of the leading names in funk.[1] Collins is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootsy_Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Man™ Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 OutKast Speakerboxxx intro.To each his own, but I prefer the actual instrument being played - not synthesized...just my opinion - not that that album is not a great hip hop album (it's great!).

JDaveG Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 As a rock and roller at heart, I have to add "Sweet Child O Mine" and "Badge."But my heart still says "Billie Jean." That bass line made that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
