NickT Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Don't think anyone's mentioned "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zep. Did anyone else read the story about some guy who played that riff so much (on g*****r) that one of his neighbours got so sick of it that he went in and stabbed the guy to death to make him stop playing that riff? I know I shouldn't be flippant about things like that, but you have been warned. Free your mind and your ass will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(can you tell i've been in a few arguments today?) first, my seconds... i second the nominations of iron man, mississippi queen, and a few others that i nodded my head to upon reading. second, my firsts: amazing grace? curtis mayfield "superfly" stevie wonder "superstition" and for all you headbangers out there... the first four bars of master of puppets.

cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Well, since we're including rap, what about "My Adidas" by Run DMC. Jay, Rest in peace, my friend. And it was Sound Garden you were thinking ofthat did "Black Hole Sun." How about movie tunes? Jaws, The Godfather, James Bond, Oompa Loompa (Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). And, of course, all of the Christmas songs. I forgot "No More Tears" by Ozzy. How about Patrick's favorite "Born In The USA" by the Boss? The Police's "Every Breath You Take" which is always mistaken for a love song but it's actually about a stalker. "Jamie's Crying" by Van Halen, "Unholy" by Kiss, "Night Songs" by Cinderella (I've got the DMX on the 80's station), The Vapors' classic "I Think I'm Turning Japanese", "Separate Ways" from Journey, "Epic" from Faith No More.......brings back memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohhhhh6 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Yeah I thought it was Soundgarden sorry my bad for messing the title up (I haven't heard that song for ages sorry) but that tune is pretty recognized imo.

dustybass6 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 You guys call yourselves bassists? Stanley Clarke's "SchoolDays." Or Mingus, "Goodbye, Pork Pie Hat" a song redone by all the greats. And Victor Wooten's double thumb technique, all those triplets. "...it might be a quarter-life crisis" John Mayer, Why Georgia?

BNC Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 We are going for most recognizeable songs, not necessarily most recognizeable to bassists.

Davidus Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 If we're talking about recognizable riffs, why not one that probably 90% of the entire world's population knows - Another One Bites The Dust by Queen? Okay, maybe not 90%. But lots of people anyhow.

groovyjazzyfunky Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 And who could forget. . . "Two Princes" by the much-overlooked and under-appreciated Spin Doctors. GREAT band. Pick up an album or two ("Homebelly Groove" is my favorite) if all you've ever heard are their radio hits. I promise that you will be pleasantly surprised. All your bass are belong to us!
