I really like all of the bass on America’s debut. Beckley and Peek weren’t really bass players, but maybe that’s why it sounds outside the box and fresh.

Too many to list, but here´s a random pick-up of some which have impressed me:

Since we are getting into Classical can't leave out one of the most iconic bass lines ever:

Doesn't need to be complicated to be brilliant.

Yes, in particular Down in the tubestation at midnight

Magazine's bassist Barry Adamson was also one of the best

...least we forget (maybe I should have checked to see if this was posted - if so, it needs a second spot.) BTW, not that this has anything to do with this thread, but this album would not have been anything like it was/is without Bowie and Ronson.

Always loved Joy Division's bass - so innovative at the time the way they used it to structure the whole song, melody and rhythm. Although very different musically I felt this had more in common with 70's funk and disco than rock - something that later bands like A Certain Ratio and to an extent New Order more explicitly referenced

Speaking of bass driven melodies:

One of the most perfect albums ever imho - every track sheer and utter joy
