      Not a bass line entirely, but all of maxwell murder by rancid is such a legendary song for the bass, such a great solo and such a good track.

    Peter Hook will forever be my favorite punk bassist and “Love Will Tear Us Apart” is my favorite bass line ever. Joy Division’s (and even early New Order’s) sounds were defined by the bass playing the melody.

    cool video, cool songs and even cooler playing! kinda wish there were more non-american songs on this list though, as by my count there was only one (that being the clash), in fairness the UK punk explosion was what, 2-3 years (77-79) if you wanna stretch it to include early post-punk? so there wouldn't be much room to fit many songs from that era, but it still would've been cool to see i think! bands like the saints, stiff little fingers, the damned, buzzcocks etc etc yadayadayada
