agree vigorously with

radiohead - national anthem
RATM - killing in the name of
nirvana - lounge act

also some other basslines that really sucked me into becoming a bassist and give me endless joy in still being a bassist:

spacehog - in the meantime
bluetones - if
led zeppelin - i can't quit you babe
the egg - ambassador
pinback - loro
muse - hysteria/stockholm syndrome
kings of leon - ragoo
RHCPs - mellowship slinky in B major/give it away
ben harper - fight for your mind
tripping daisy - bang
offspring - bad habit
rancid - journey to the end of the east bay

*reminisces about learning the bass in the 90s
