No.18 is actually Patricia Morris, because after the Royal Albert hall gig in mid 1985, with Wayne Hussey, craig Adams left, So Patricia M stepped in as The bassist.

Yeah, my bad!

Your selection is very accurate! ... I love Virgin Prunes! I split my favorite bass lines into two videos, 10 dark wave and 10 post punk. You're right, bass is THE goth / wave instrument ... You can only make this music with him :)

[@barbedwire6209]

Thank you man, I appreciate that! Yeah I saw also your post punk and new wave top! I think you did a pretty good job =)
Yes I'm 100% agree with you!

Thank you for liking it!

[@terrypmusic]

Good stuff..

[@barbedwire6209]

Thanks man!

[@david_post_punk]

Great selection , but in my view A Forest has a quintessential baseline, very influential, above of all

[@barbedwire6209]

Yeah, this bass line is insane. Btw those bass lines are not in a rank. So the number one isn't the best and the number 20 isn't the worst and the other way around. Is just a selection of bass lines in a random way!

Dancing on hot tiles dancing on tenterhooks

[@guidowolff1914]

All in all i agree with your choice.
But.
Replace "i am the virus" with "love like blood" by Killing Joke.
And did you ever heared about "don't tell me stories" by Die Unbekannten?
That's my favourite...
And no doubt about:
Virgin Prunes
Killing Joke
Joy Division
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
Bauhaus
The Cure
and above all: The Sisters Of Mercy until the times of "First and last and always"...sigh...

[@barbedwire6209]

Thanks man! No I've never heard about don't tell me stories, I'll listen to it right now!

[@EscombrosAmundsen]

Gang of Four?

[@barbedwire6209]

Yeah there's something cool about them too, no great man for example has a good bass line! But this is a personal taste ranking as I said, so I put what I prefer to hear

[@paulsouthern1604]

I did't play on that one!

[@barbedwire6209]

:P

[@patricktimothy8354]

[@barbedwire6209]

I didn't forget anything! This is my personal top based on my taste :)
