Peaches?
Nice N Sleazy?

Transmission?

On a slightly related note, i've been listening to the Smiths remasters (slow on the uptake i know but i've always been underwhelmed by remasters til now!) and Andy Rourke's bass on them is phenomenal, the mastering process seems to have brought out a lot of subtleties that were hard to hear in the originals so with that in mind...

I Know It's Over - cos it has this wonderful drop after each phrase with a little bit of string rattle. ace :P

and Hand In Glove cos it has a whole bunch of little accents/grace notes i'd not noticed before too.

I am sure we had a similar thread not that long ago - but something along the lines of this basically

PIL - Poptones - in fact most of Metal Box

The Smiths - Barbarism Begins At Home

Can - You Doo Right or Mother Sky

Stranglers - Genetix

and perhaps Beatles - Rain - has been done so many times since
or should it be Joy Division - She's Lost Control...........

Lou Reed - Walk on the wild side
catchy as hell and unforgettable[/quote]

I saw an interesting interview with Herbie Flowers where he said he played two bass lines for this. One on an upright bass and the other on an electric.
