Bass line quiz - 1970 to 1979

[GarethFlatlands]

I got bored so I did a bass line quiz for my Facebook friends and I thought the good people of Basschat might enjoy it. One line from each year 1970 to 1979, a range of genres and plenty of minor flubs! I'm pretty sure I got 1973 and 1974 the wrong way round and the click for 1979 came in at the wrong tempo but I just went with it. It's a "how many do you recognise" type thing.

It's a new-wave band, but not Talking Heads.

It is, and not "Chameleon" as I originally thought which puts me out by 8 years

We have a full house! I hope it killed some time and mildly entertained people. I'm working on an 80's one and a Bowie one which I'll post when they're done.

I will hopefully do better on an 80's one!
