#146 - All About That BASS!

All About That BASS!

Anthony leads the Modern Musicology crew in a discussion about the masters of the bottom end, the foundation of the band, the bringers of the thunder -- BASS PLAYERS! We highlight some of the best players in rock, metal, soul, and funk by sharing our favorite songs that open with unaccompanied bass parts! We've got examples from Metallica, Prince, Motorhead, Porcupine Tree, Van Halen, and more. And of course, you can't have a discussion about bass players and not include Chris Squire of Yes and Geddy Lee of Rush!

If you want to hear the full songs that we reference in this show, you can find them all on a specially-made handy-dandy Spotify Playlist!

These are some of our faves -- what about yours? Is there a song with an unaccompanied bass intro that we didn't mention? Drop us a line and let us know at modernmusicology1@gmail.com or just leave a comment on our socials or whatever podcast platform you're listening to us.
