Radiohead has some great basslines. The National Anthem, parts of Paranoid Android, Exit Music, Meeting in the Aisle, Anyone Can Play Guitar (ironically enough). Colin Greenwood is a very underrated bassist.
Girls & Boys by Blur
Ramble On by Led Zeppelin
a lot of stuff by the Rogers Sisters -- Ballerina, Zero Point come to mind
My favorite bassist ever is probably Paul Simonon and London Calling has some great basslines, even though technically he wasn't that proficient
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
I really can't stand him or his music but I love Kanye West's Golddigger's bass line.
The Beatles - Come Together is my favorite of all time to play
Primus - Jerry was a Racecar Driver
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Give it Away
Alice in Chains - Would
And John Cougar Mellencamp - "Wild Nights"
"White Lines" by GrandMaster Flash and the Furious Five.
Indeed, I was going to list Paranoid Android.Originally Posted by vaticanplum

School's out. What did you expect?
Could't Stand the Weather - SRV
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed
School's out. What did you expect?
Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder (and the cover by RHCP)

How about the Red Hot Chili Pepper's version of "Higher Ground"... Flea's starting bass line and bass part throughout is great work.
The band Tool has some great bass lines in a few of their songs too.
Metallica's Cliff Burton.... start of "For Whom The Bell Tolls". "(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth", the 1st instrumental ever done by Metallica and pretty much all bass.... and amazing playing by the late Cliff Burton.

Boris the Spider- The Who
Rat Tomango- Zappa (or is it a solo, it does have percussion in it, but nothing else.)
I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.
