no reggae, except for 'Under Mi Sleng Teng' - famous for not having a bassline????

michael (michael), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 20:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a tragedy that the Beatles' "Rain" wasn't mentioned. Paul McCartney's best work.

Yancey (ystrickler), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 20:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Alton Ellis is reggae...

JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 21:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

[Rocksteady actually ;)]

didn't spot him there. still should be more than one though! (i guess you could include Beats International, since it's a common reggae bassline the Clash were using)

michael (michael), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 21:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Even more interesting, no one mentioned Pink Floyd's "Money". I'd add that, The Charlatans' "I Don't Want To See The Sights", and The Jam's "In The City"

Xibalba (xibalba), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 21:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

no Bootsy?

The Scott Grooves record replays a Bootsy bassline from the Parliament song of the same name, but it's not quite the same, no.

JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 26 November 2002 21:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

no reggae, except for 'Under Mi Sleng Teng' - famous for not having a bassline???? - how low do you have to go to call it a bassline?
