Songs that open with a bass and no other instrument (including drums)

Ramones-- I'm Affected

 

Well, if people actually labeled the videos they posted then all you would have had to do was search for the word “playboys.” Instead we will have yet another thread that in a few years is worthless because videos get yanked and no one will ever know what was posted...or that could happen next week.

 

I mean... if we're being strict it starts with percussion too.

 

Very cool riff on this 80’s Yes tune, “I’m Running.”

 

The Offspring - Bad Habit.

 

Short, powerful bass intro . . .

 

Yes - I’m Running

 

Yes - Does It Really Happen

 

Wire, “Reuters”. Briefly, at least.

 

Love Song-The Damned

Original Single Version. The LP cut has a Lemmy talkover mixed in,

 

The Night-Frankie Valli & Four Seasons

 

Patricia Barber, “Use me”

 

"She" by Harry Connick, Jr.

 

"(I Could Only) Whisper Your Name" by Harry Connick, Jr.

 

Sorry to break it to you, but that's Justin Hayward's electric guitar. The bass comes in with the drums at 0:08

 

This is one of the best ones in that category:

 

"Underwater" by Midnight Oil

 

Peter Garrett - "Tall Trees"

 

Maybe "So Lonely" by The Police? I've to check if there's only the bass of Sting...

 

The mono single mix of The Doors' "We Could Be So Good Together"

 

The Animals - "It's My Life"
