Les Rallizes Denudes "Night Of Assassin"

angry that ilm has forgot "dexter" by ricardo villalobos

harshaw (jube), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Eric B & Rakim - "Paid In Full", although I would imagine it's sampled from somewhere or other.

Nick H (Nick H), Saturday, 29 January 2005 20:24 (nineteen years ago) link

MF Doom - Potholderz

Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Saturday, 29 January 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Eric B & Rakim - "Paid In Full", although I would imagine it's sampled from somewhere or other.

That'd be "Don't Look Any Further", by Dennis Edwards.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 29 January 2005 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Ones that I get stuck in my head:

Nappy Dugout by Funkadelic

Brendan #1, Reclaimation and Waiting Room from

Whatever songs got sampled by A Tribe Called Quest's for Sucka Nigga and Buggin' Out

Chemical Wire is my favorite Mike Watt one, but there are lots of others

Duff McKagen's little riff at the beginning of Sweet Child o' Mine is pretty nice

Digital from Joy Divison

Dramamine by Modest Mouse

Lots of other ones from Kim Deal, Les Claypool, and especially Eric Avery - in my opinion the best part of Jane's Addiction.

The bestest bassline ever is the one on "Trust Me" by Roni Size.

Tina Weymouth's bassline on "Slippery People" is surely an overlooked contender.

let me down again - catherine wheel, sistine chapel ceiling - adorable

Mystery Achievement--The Pretenders

kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Friday, 4 March 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm in awe of Pino Palladino's bassplaying on D'Angelo's "Voodoo". I've never heard anything reomotely like it. He's invented a completely new way of feeling time.

frankiemachine, Friday, 4 March 2005 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

"Signed Sealed Delivered," yes. "Stop (the Love You Save)" also needs more attention.

I'm a sucker for "Paperback Writer," and I don't care who knows it.

What about "Cemetry Gates"?

The Mad Puffin (The Mad Puffin), Friday, 4 March 2005 18:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I cannot believe Chic's "Good Times" wasn't cited.

Where is the love for Kenny Aaronson's work on "Brother Louie"? It walks the thin line between faux-funky and actually being funky.
