Top 10 Rock and Metal Songs with the Best Bass Intros

The Top Ten
1 Money - Pink Floyd

It was hard to rank the first 3 songs - they are all #1 for me and it was hard to choose (Pink Floyd, Queen, Metallica)

2 Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

So catchy! John is one of my favourite bass players.

3 Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - Metallica
4 N.I.B. - Black Sabbath
5 Schism - Tool

Such an epic song.

6 Under Pressure - Queen ft David Bowie
7 Peace Sells - Megadeth

Fun fact: it was written by their guitarist Alex Skolnick and played by their bassist.

9 Spirit Crusher - Death
10 For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica
The Contenders
11 Uprising - Muse

A tapping bass intro, which sounds like slapping bass.

Claypool is insane!
