🎶 #BasslineBeatdown: What’s the most epic bassline you’ve jammed to? 🎸 Have you ever heard a bassline so groovy, so funky, so downright jaw-dropping that it sent shivers down your spine? As a music lover, I’m always on the hunt for that perfect bassline that makes me want to dance, cry, and air-guitar all at the same time.
Which brings me to my burning question: What is the best bassline ever created? Is it the smooth vibes of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean?” The iconic rumble of Queen’s “Under Pressure?” Or maybe something more obscure that only true bass aficionados know about?
I want to hear your thoughts and opinions on this timeless debate. Cast your vote, share your favorite bassline stories, and let’s dive deep into the funky world of basslines together. Who knows, maybe we’ll discover a hidden gem that will blow our minds!
So, what are you waiting for? Let the bassline battle begin! 💥 #MusicTalks #BasslineLegends 🤘🕺🎶
Fleetwood Mac – The Chain
Fun fact: that iconic bass line was originally part of a different song called [Keep Me There](https://youtu.be/mJzCae_GAnY?si=FhvQcKHuAtBaxIRq), but The Chain was so good that they decided to axe Keep Me There and put the bass line into guitar solo at the end of the Chain instead. Pretty genius move since Keep Me There was good but not great, and that breakdown elevates Chain from great to epic
Yes – Roundabout
The best ever.
Ramble On by Led Zeppelin is insane
No such thing as 1 best, IMO, but you got Fugazi – Waiting Room, Primus – My Name is Mud and also Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, Dream Theater – Metropolis Pt. 1 and also a Change of Seasons. There’s also Obscura – Anticosmic Overload and there’s both Elephant Talk and Frame by Frame by King Crimson. And pretty much the whole album Nano-nucleonic Cyborg Summoning by Behold… the Arctopus. There are also some sweet basslines in some Planet X songs, but I can’t remember the names.
Many Primus songs. Les Claypool is the bass god.
Another One Bites the Dust by Queen.
