Theo, of the songs you posted, the only ones that seemed to me to start with basslines were "Twine Time" and "Mr. Lee."
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.
Of course Entwhistle was one of the few bass players who could almost be described as a lead bass player (along with several of the King Crimson bassists and Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order), at least a good portion of the time.

And the Who don't really have the typical rock instrumentation dynamics either. Entwhistle isn't just sitting there at the root mediating between the drummer and the guitarist. Moon and Townshend wouldn't have been able to veer so hard into chaos if they didn't have Entwhistle holding the entire song together by himself.
