Greatest Rock Bass Riffs

The Top Ten

1 Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

Written by the cheese on toast king (or Queen).

Thank you John Deacon.

Yes, this is the best!

Best of all times.

2 Money - Pink Floyd

Yeah, Money has the greatest bass riff.

3 Come Together - The Beatles

4 Roundabout - Yes

When I'm about to go to a school dance, I always put on the Fragile Yes Record and listen to Roundabout for an hour. The bass line gets so pumped, so unbelievably fast, that I don't even need a ride to the school! I run out the door with the song playing on my Ipod and I still get there on time!

5 Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

It's not a drum riff

6 YYZ - Rush

7 Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

8 Hysteria - Muse

Easily the best bass riff! It is very complicated and just... brilliant! Should be number 1!

Should be number 1, Money by Pink Floyd is good too though

I expected this in the top 5

Should be number one

9 For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Why is this here? This has a bass solo not really a bass riff.

10 Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie

The Contenders

11 Schism - Tool

I expected this to be higher than #24

12 Orion - Metallica

13 Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz

14 Longview - Green Day

15 Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

16 Boris The Spider - The Who

17 Pneuma - Tool

18 Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers

19 La Villa Strangiato - Rush

20 I Was Made for Lovin' You - KISS

21 Go Robot - Red Hot Chili Peppers

22 Sober - Tool

23 Trick Of The Light - The Who

I love this song. Best advertisement for an eight string Alembic bass even though that's not what it was intended for.

24 Dragon Attack - Queen

25 Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
