Dazed and Confused: Led Zeppelin

 

[guisborough_rob]

Mr Big: Free (for Andy Fraser’s superb bass solo.)

 

[Luca Brazi]

Mr Big: Free (for Andy Fraser’s superb bass solo.)

The live version especially - unbelievable playing.

 

[Ziggy]

Yes, Herbie also played on Clive Dunn's 'Grandad'.

Not only played on it, Harry. For his sins (and money) he actually composed it.

 

[Ziggy]

Jaco Pastorius. Weather Report

 

[Juninhoburger]

New Order - Blue Monday

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

You'd struggle to get more recognisable than Hooky's bass on Transmission by Joy Division.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

A personal favourite

 

[red_harrington]

 

[HarryVegas]

Not only played on it, Harry. For his sins (and money) he actually composed it.

In his defence he also played on Bowie's Rebel Rebel and the Diamond Dogs album.

[Oooo]

[Andybarca]

Or this

 

[mercury_redstone7]

Only After Dark Trevor Boulder on Mick Ronsons album SOTA
and too many other great tracks to mention.

George Murray on Sound and Vision, he drives the song along with Ricky Gardiners guitar, and the "do do do de do backing vocals of Mary Hopkin.

But I love this one too by a not very popular Nick Lowe, strange song with its driving funk guitar, really random jazz piano, the bass is the thing that keeps it rhythmic,its just a collage of sound.
