I can't believe 2 people have posted up Love will tear us Apart and no one's mentioned Transmission!

Lots of good New Order ones too, Touched By the Hand of God, Everything's Gone Green, Ceremony, True Faith...

Pixies - Gigantic
The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (the chorus bit)
Duran Duran - Planet Earth/ Rio/ Lonely in Your Nightmare
The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection

the only 2 acceptable bass solos I can think of are:
Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Blondie - Atomic

Bass on Interpol's first album is fantastic.

Great bass hook in this one

It starts at 0:47

Oh, it's quite low (duh!) so you simply won't hear it on computer speakers...
