Good idea. I just can't find any love for much Simon and Garfunkel.

(Is there a thread devoted to best non-Beatles basslines?)

"At the Zoo" by Simon and Garfunkel has a great bassline! It's so fun to "doo doo doo doo" along with.

Sun King: Hello.
Paul Simonon: Hey.
S: Who's this?
P: Paul Simonon of the Clash
S: Oh My. This is an honour. By the way, I love the Guns Of Brixton.
P: Thanks. I'm calling to get Zig to include me in the team picture for the bassists. Can you get me in?
S: Sure. Anything else?
P: Nope. Thanks!!

Edit: Get him in Zig.

It's getting crowded. Notice the fretless bass! Frets? He don't need no stinkin' frets.

To get back on topic - and I believe I have made this point earlier - perhaps on an earlier page of this same thread - Paul is 0 in my opinion - undoubtedly the best bass player of all time for this reason - he plays very intricate bass lines - while singing very intricate vocal lines - and does both flawlessly at the same time.

 

Playing bass while singing is so difficult - that unless you've done it - you just don't know. And again Paul's bass line and vocal lines incredible complex at times.

Who else comes close to doing that?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jack Bruce.

He may not surpass Sir Paul, but he's at least in the team photo.

I agree, robert. Playing any instrument while singing can be difficult. Heck, I have a hard enough time air-guitaring while singing.

He's from the Clash. He would probably be the bassist to beat in terms of punk bands.

Ahhhh...... Clash..... Heard about those.....

An underrated bassist has to be Paul Simonon, especially on The Guns of Brixton.
