Not Given Lightly IMO, or Sway by Bic Runga. I reckon those two have the most audience coverage

Not Given Lightly for sure

I would like to nominate Dirty Creature by Split Enz because this baseline will ensorcell your soul. https://youtu.be/NzrE3AhY6KQ?si=tajwYOMFU0I_Jfim

If you're talking about nothing but bassline then "For Today" right?

sharonm.bsky.social•94 days ago

Didn’t know that one until now

objectivereality.bsky.social•93 days ago

Astounding! Not my fave necessarily, but Stax/Motown levels of iconic bass...

objectivereality.bsky.social•93 days ago

In fact I'm sure one of the terrestrial TV channels used it back in the day. Or New World or Telecom or someone. I remember it being inescapable on ads for a while.

sharonm.bsky.social•93 days ago

Was on t’other side of the world for five years.

We are but as one on this. Recognisable within a bar (or beer garden)
