What Song Are You Listening To, Right Now?

[Mott the Hoople]

Top ten baselines.

Most baselines are the glue that ties the rhythm with the percussions. Then there are some extraordinary baselines that really carry a song. Here’s my top 10:

#10. Gorillaz, Feels Good, inc. This may be at the bottom of my list but it’s definitely the best video. I may get flack because they are a virtual band but the baseline here really groves.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

#9. I expect more flack on this pick cause it’s a pop song but there’s no denying that this is a seriously good baseline.

#8. Has an incredible funky grove that cannot be denied.

#7. John Entwhistle is a musical genius. His fleet fingers baseline seamlessly goes over the top of Pete’s Guitar solo and then meshes with Moons drumming at will.

#6. Paul McCartney often gets accused of writing and playing ear candy but his baseline here puts that lie to rest. Best psychedelic song ever.

#5. John Paul Jones is a Jack of all trades musician but he’s definitely a master of the base.
