Songs for bassists

[NX013]

We need more of them

Primus - Jerry was a racecar driver (tapping bass riff FTW)

Yes - Roundabout - endless bass riff beats all

Rush - closer to the heart, off the different stages album, - this song has an epic bass riff
if not that song then spirit of radio

Queen - hard to think of one song, probly under pressure. If anyon e can think of a better one then post it

Genesis - No reply at all, the only problem is no guitars and the horns. though it would be fun to play

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.
Down on the Corner by CCR.
