    I've probably added to this thread previously but, if I did, I hope that I posted (apologies to anyone else who has posted this too):

    "Badge" written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison as performed by Cream with, of course, Jack Bruce on bass. Was there ever a better rock three piece bar possibly The Jimi Hendrix Experience?

    Chris Squire's melodic, elaborately contoured bass lines when Yes were at their peak.  Yours is no Disgrace and Starship Trooper to name but two.

    Good choice MillwallFan. I lurv it.

    Oh, and by the way, in my late father’s youth between the wars, he would go to the Den whenever the Addicks weren’t playing. I think that used to be common practice.

    It may be quite simple but have always liked the bass line in It's My Life by Talk Talk, especially in the pre chorus part.

    The walking bass line on Penny Lane is great.
    And the bass break in Paul Simons "You can call me Al" is awesome

    But the real king of basslines is School Days by Stanley Clarke

    I used to watch drum covers on YouTube and famous session drummers playing in studios, along to the famous tracks they originally played on, so I often get suggestions come up for other types of covers. This one came up a while back and I found it again this morning. Girls got talent and, what a bass line, Luther Vandross, Never Too Much

    Absolutely brilliant!:-)

    Yes very common. Been mentioned on here a few times. Football was less tribal then and people who loved football just wanted to go and see live football. My dad did the same. Would go to The Valley one week and The Den the next. My grandad was staunch Millwall but would travel anywhere in London just to get a game in, when Millwall was away.
