KevB Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Here's one from Yes's 90125 album that gets rather overlooked, nice bass work from Squire and the band are as tight as a gnat's chuff.

They took the beat from Genius Of Love for 'It's Nasty' too, For The Love Of Money for 'Step Off', etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually one of my favourite songs of all time, Johnny's guitar chimes and the bass is just great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGnjrTkv1gs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Gosh...the 80's was the breakthrough era of great bass players, so it's really hard to pin down 'the best'. Here's some of my fav's... U2 - New Years Day Police - Walking On The Moon Duran Duran - Too Shy Ian Drury & The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick Queen - Another One Bites The Dust Madonna - Like A Prayer Level 42 - Hot Water The Cure - Love Cats Paul Simon - (everything from the Graceland album) Phil Collins - (everything that Lee Sklar appeared on) Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer Was (Not Was) - Walk The Dinosaur Kool & The Gang - Fresh David Bowie - Lets Dance Fonzi Thornton - Change The Game Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyKnees Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ah the 80s...it all started so promisingly and ended up with Deacon Blue...never mind. One of my faves from the mid 80's... if you can get past the syn drums, it still sounds great to my ears.
