Does anybody know any pop punk/rock albums and songs with good bass lines?

Rancid's bassist is stupidly good, and is fairly prominent in the mix. Check out their "...And Out Come The Wolves" album.

Agreed. Same holds for Operation Ivy of course, who I think I preferred. Fat Mike from NOFX is also killer.

Rage Against the Machine have loads of really playable bass riffs; they are great to jam along to. Tool have a dream bass tone and amazing riffs too.

Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads, Psycho Killer - great example (I think) of how a simple bass line works

Not really the period/genre you asked for but i like any of Graham Maby's work (Joe Jackson/ They May Be Giants)

More punk than pop punk but Chris #2 from Anti-Flag is a great player. Check out any of their albums.

All My Best Friends Are Metalheads by Less Than Jake has a cool bass line too.

Always by Blink 182 is surprisingly good, chords and some melody, I love plying it.

Stretching the definition of punk a little but ... The Jam, bruce foxton is a standout player.

Shreikback did some great stuff. Not punk as such but born in the early eighties. Personal favourite is My Spine is the Bassline -

Care and Oil and Gold albums are well worth a listen.

Oh yes. Check out the albums Sound Affects and Setting Sons for some Foxton plectrum powered bass pleasure.
