Songs with bass line as mostly the melody?
So i want some new music but i really want to know if there's any out there with the bass as the melody in most of the song. i've never heard one except in "Holiday" by Green Day during the bass solo and in "With or Without You" by U2 that has just bass and drums in the beginning. if you can help me with some of that stuff that would be SWEET!
thanks
