rubis Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 C'mon gents, list your guilty pleasures. We all know it was a decade of tat, but there were some little nuggets amongst the sh*te drum sounds. I remember listening to a lot of Robert Palmer and Roxy Music, and discovering the Smiths, so what were your bassplaying highs of the 80's? Just to get the ball rolling here are two I still rate as pretty much un-improvable in the bassline department Talk Talk - It's my life [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ixRWvrkUHo&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ixRWvrkUHo&feature=related[/url] and Propaganda - Duel ( Derek Forbes on a tasty Wal in this clip) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atk3Twn1Ur4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atk3Twn1Ur4[/url] Quote

crez5150 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Too many to mention in the 80's...... too many great bass lines..... This is a great one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHlWTYo3aRo&feature=related Quote
jazseven Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Duran Duran - Rio Patricia Rushen - Forget Me Nots Everything ever by Chic.... Sister Sledge - Thinking of You Level 42 - Love Games The list goes on... Quote
risingson Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Don Henley - New York Minute. Cheesy, cheesy as anything, massive guilty pleasure but one of the best fretless bass parts on record. Pino Palladino at his finest. I don't tell anyone that I listen to it though Quote

risingson Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Pretty much the past 5 posts have all been Pino bass parts. I love it Quote

But IMO his basslines were the only good thing about Paul Young and even he couldn't save Go West from being crap. Quote

Go west had some fantastic tunes, Great musicians and Great production. Quote
