    I'm a drummer myself, been in a few bands (although not currently), and I loved hearing great bass playing as it really can get you in the groove for the song.
    One of my own favorites was N.I.B by Black Sabbath.

    A great bass line can really gird a song's bottom end and create a foundation for a solid and memorable groove. Some of my favorite bass lines of all-time...
    "Another One Bites The Dust" -- Queen
    "N.I.B." -- Black Sabbath
    "She" -- Kiss
    "Cities On Flame" -- Blue Oyster Cult
    "Believer" -- Ozzy Osbourne

      I have a beef with Geezer. I was supposed to see Sabbath (with opener Quiet Riot) in the fall of 1983 in Vancouver with my dad, they were his all time favourite band even with Ian Gillan on Born Again, but Geezer had a bout of bronchitis and they cancelled the show. I never got to see Sabbath live, my dad however took his girlfriend to Vegas a couple weeks later to see them and left me in Vancouver because of school. I'm still pretty upset about missing that show with my dad.

    The last one by Sami; Is he playing Money by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd? I'm a drummer although not really a big Pink Floyd fan but that song instantly popped into my head. The only Pink Floyd song I know how to play is Time, the Wrathchild America metal cover version of it.

    Catupecu machu - calavera deforme
    Cabezones - a tus pies
    Limp Bizkit - re-arranged and clunk
    Tool - schism and 46 & 2
    Mudvayne - death blooms.
