I would've guessed at James Jamerson on Get Ready.

Oooh ok. I recently started playing bass after years of playing guitar and much prefer it. These two bassists are the ones who really made me want to switch:
Carlos Dengler - Interpol (I love his line on The New, a great way to end a song) Peter Hook - Joy Division and New Order (obviously)
Any more would require more time than I can dedicate to this while at work, it's too hard for me to decide

The combination of great bass lines (an octave or two higher in Hook's case) plus baritone singing is a great rock combo
Sex Machine - James Brown. Played bass a group called Riot (lol) at my school, and thought this one would be easy. It was anything but. Not many notes, but it was the gaps between them that proved problematic.
Nuclear Device - The Stranglers, virtually a four minute bass solo it was so loud in the mix. For those in the know, Bruce! Sheila!
Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, the incomparable Norman Watt-Roy
Anything by the Elvis Costello and the Attractions featuring Bruce Thomas, who fell out so totally with Costello he got a couple of withering lyrics directed at him.That was one thing, but when Costelko proclaimed his replacement was a better player, it was like Murray claiming Phil Parkinson was an upgrade on Curbs. Sorry El......
