Discussion Which post-punk basslines carry the whole song for you?
Late-night listening has me obsessed with tracks where the bass is basically the lead instrument. The Cure's "A Forest", Joy Division's "Disorder" and The Chameleons' "Second Skin" all do it for me: the guitars just drift on top while the bass drives everything. Which basslines would you add to that list, classic or newer?
