Favorite albums were the bass guitar is the most notable instrument?

Mother's Milk by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's Flea what can I say?

Quadrophenia by The Who. Entwistle at his finest.

And I know you already listed it but Unknown Pleasures. I couldn't agree more there. Peter Hook's bass playing on that album is quite simply astounding, "Day of the Lords", his bass just drives that song along until Curtis yells "Where Will it End" at the end. Same thing on "Wilderness" Every single song on that album contains great bass playing.

BQ:Peter Hook

BQ2:One of These Days - Pink Floyd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj_S_F4rp68

Pretty much all The Beatles albums.

The bass by McCartney was a very dominate instrument.

"Paperback Writer" - The Beatles

"Roundabout" - Yes

"Heartbreaker" - Led Zeppelin

"Whipping Post" - The Allman Brothers Band

i actually listened to turn on the bright lights cus you mentioned it on here before, so i was listening to it while i was driving for a couple hours yesterday and it was so pretty and dark out and there was snow out and wow the album just fit the whole scene perfectly. it was weird. but yeah thought i should tell you!

you're a woman, i'm a machine by death from above 1979 is crazy and it's two guys, a bass guitarist and a drummer and it's amazing. also fragile by yes has some really awesome bass moments even though it's not every song on the album

good question though, i just started learning bass :)

One Hot minute-Red Hot Chili Peppers

(Yeah common bassist I know but this album is a killer)

BQ:John Myung- Dream Theater (Six String)

BQ 2: Unsure but song that the bass sets the mood would be Save Me-Avenged Sevenfold

Wrong, Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed, 0+2=1, all by NoMeansNo. Rob Wright was an utter bass beast.
