Best Ever Bass Lines

I'd never heard of Asylum Party before, which is too bad; they're great.

I was actually going to post some Iron Maiden; I just couldn't decide which one ("The Trooper", probably). I haven't followed the band in a while, but I played everything up to Powerslave to death.

It's nice to see Husker Du here too. Poor Greg Norton is always buried in the mix, but he has an interesting style: he tends to play not the root but what would be the vocal harmony line if there was one.

This is not an example of that:

One more for the slap-n-poppers out there:

OK, some John Taylor love:

Fugazi and Husker Du already being mentioned, heres my third

God, I can't believe there's another T21/Asylum Party fan in this forum!

We are, say, erm, continental Europeans...

I knew T21 was known abroad but I never thought Asylum Party crossed the border...

Hooky is a bit shit though.Can't even release owt decent 3 years after New Order folded.Even Barney has released a crap album.I do miss Gillian though.Come on...be honest.It ain't like it used to be? Ps :D

.Hooky is the bestest Dj in the world ever.

Yes they did, Jean! One of my best friends still has "Borderline" on vynil, the lucky bastard! I always loved Touching Pop, remember Little Nemo and Mary Goes Round?

The lucky one! It's picture one on vinyl that I keep preciously...

Of course I remember Little Nemo and Mary Goes Round. In fact, I once had the opportunity to see the lot on the same night. No photo needed on the finish line. Little Nemo were far behind Mary Goes Round and Asylum Party...

By the way, the last performance of T21 in France will be on November 14th, Paris.

You mean the last ever?

When they released black label, they said no concert. So this one is special, like an adieu to the French audience.

I dind't catch that one (the quote, not the album!)

Mary Goes Round's singer's has some music posted on his MySpace profile and the singer from Asylum party released an album a few years ago on Infrastition under the name Irrelevant. Apparently Little Nemo are back together minus the singer and played at la Loco recently. Anyway, as bass lines go I quite like these.

Can't do the linky thing but Slow Emotion Replay by The The always gets my vote and mostly owt from Andy Rourke...........

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. And by the way, I'm a Spirou fan too!

It's about time I poked my nose in.

Here's an odd bunch, I thought out of impartiality I should not include any by Hooky.
