Yeah, that would be easy. But do we mean bassline that can be carried only by basses? Should it be playing solo? What if it's really a rhythm guitar (which I've always assumed is "bassline played by a regular guitar")?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hmm, think anyone around here might be interested in this? One of these days "You're on a first name basis with lucidity, little friend, I have to call it Mr. Lucidity, and that's no good in a pinch," will become my tagline, but today is not that day. (The sound quality of the clips improves after the first few.)
Sandy Denny and Linda Thompson (then Linda Peters) duetting on "When Will I Be Loved"? Bliss.
Buffistarawk? Linda really loves the Everlys. Most of the R< bootlegs I have feature at least one cover.
One of my all-time favorite records was Fairport Chronicle a two-LP collection of their work put together with the loving care of the truly obsessed.
One of my goals is to get my turntable & records out of storage. If I do I'll rip Fairport Chronicles & send you a copy. Is "Learning the Game" from The Bunch? How's the RT box set "Sloth," Corwood?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is "Learning the Game" from The Bunch?
It is. As is, "My Girl The Month of May" which also features glorious Sandy/Linda harmonies.
But do we mean bassline that can be carried only by basses?
In the Doors Ray Manzarek would play the bassline on his keyboard.
Should it be playing solo?
I think it should just be prominent. It should be the hook.
What if it's really a rhythm guitar (which I've always assumed is "bassline played by a regular guitar")?
Rhythm guitar is different from the bass. If you think about what Pete Townshend and John Entwhistle are doing in The Who it should sound like they're doing two very different things. Think about "My Generation" which is built around the bassline and Pete is playing the stinging, choppier parts. Or "The Real Me" which is another good example of Pete and John playing off each other.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Theo, of the songs you posted, the only ones that seemed to me to start with basslines were "Twine Time" and "Mr. Lee."

Y'know, I can't find my copy of The Bunch. Hint, hint.
How's the RT box set "Sloth," Corwood?
It's great, but they sequenced it after the best "Calvary Cross" I've ever heard and just before a decent, if short, "Night Comes In".

I forgot to say: Katefate & Jesse, y'all are IN.
And Theo, do you have the bassline concept down now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh lordy, I'm not actually in. I'm just messing around in my head.
