    Is this a popular song? I haven't listened to chart music in ages, but this is a nice bassline if it qualifies, at least when this dude plays it anyway

    Another great one but I would argue Cordell Mosson contributed every bit as much to P/F

    Of course they are!
    If you know Boney M and Kajagoogoo then you know pop music to some degree surely?

    Especially Chic.

    The bassist from Kajagoogoo (Nick Beggs) plays a Chapman Stick which gives them a unique sound.

    Even though he's a dickhead who has tried to sabotage and hurt his old band, the work Of Peter Hook cannot be denied. Playing the bass as a lead instrument in many of New Order's songs.

    Most of Hook's work wouldn't count as "basslines" since he plays a lead bass. In New Order whoever is on keyboards/synths (they rotate depending on the song) will play the actual bassline and the bass player (Peter Hook, now Tom Chapman) plays the melody.
