Reply With QuoteI always thought "Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" by Chic ('77) had a bassline that impaled the listener's brain, causing the feet to go all "Fred Astaire" on us. Vicious ? (maybe) . . .Memorable --for eternity !
Underground Hit [Level 5]
Hi Everybody,
would you please list me songs with neverending and hypnotizing basslines.
Here are 10:
Was Not Was - Wheel Me Out
Nancy Martin - Can't Believe
Yoko Ono - Walking on Thin Ice
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (Stop Making Sense Version)
Man Friday - Winners
James Chance - Contort Yourself
Slick - Space Bass
The Rhythm Makers - Zone
B 52's - Mesopotamia
The Clash - The Magnificent 7
It doesn't have to necessarily sound like "Ze" Records (even though I'm a fan) but I love basslines, and I love funky, strange, hypnotic ones.
Any ideas?
