We already have a Greatest Beatles Bass Riffs thread. But I wanted to open the discussion up to other groups as well.
Here are two of mine...
The Animals - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place [HD video] (Live, 1965) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSLr4xiA3gg#)
Chas Chandler
I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_J-hmyAS6c#)
John Lodge

Black Magic Woman

I like YES's Chris Squire. "I've Seen All Good People", Searching For America", "The Preacher,The Teacher". He can play it all!
-
Oh Yeah, Chris Squire, one of my favourites, some good ones on Stevie Wonder tracks as well like Master Blaster & Superstition

Usually when I listen to YES I'll leave the CD in for 3 or 4 listens and focus on each instrument as I am amazed at all of their abilities but he's one of my favorite bassists by far! Bil Buford can be mind blowing as well!
-
I'm pretty roped right now and I dont have a rif actually, but this is the fist sonjg that came to ind when talking about bass plyers. Thisi Mccartney like melodic. Awesome.
Nick Fortuna of the Buckinghams.

One of the reasons I started listeing to King Crimson was that Drummer Bill Brufford left Yes to join them, he is an absolutely awesome drummer, Alan White (great guy and good drummer that he is) isnt in the same league IMO (and I believe Alan knows it)
Bill is one of those erm 'special' talents

Nick Fortuna is playing "lead bass guitar" there, Todd. Just magnificent!!
The Buckinghams were one of my favorite groups in the late 60s. This song remains one of my favorites...
The Buckinghams - "Susan" (1967) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=974W-hJ3kRA#ws)
I'll never forget the Susan I dated in 1968.
-
Some more beautiful bass guitar by Nick Fortuna in this song too, Todd...
Buckinghams - Don't You Care [Very Good quality] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATPqm9agIr8#)

And as a bonus, another song by Jefferson Airplane, played live, with some of the greatest bass lines I've ever heard, courtesy of the great Jack Casady...
Jefferson Airplane - The Other Side Of This Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltyjNjsz8UU#)

I have a hard time depicting between riffs and actual playing sometimes. Regardless, I went through about half my ipod before I scrapped the whole idea because I have headache. Heres a few I like anyways.
This guy just flat out tears it up.
Duran Duran - Rio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XovoAKVOPOM#)
Living In The Past-Jethro Tull (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YymGJKhGgY#)
Friend & Lover - Reach Out Of The Darkness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqLRd4neGGE#)
sugarloaf - green eyed lady (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc1PHk9FhIk#)
The Kinks - Rosie Won't You Please Come Home (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSpwFkKqbog#)

Riders On The Storm by The Doors has a great Bass Riff
-
far too many to post but Mike Mill's playing on the first two R.E.M. albums (Murmur & Reckoning) is exceptional.
-

and they didnt have a bassist lol

Yeah I was going to tell you that! At least they used good session men... I also like the bass riff on "My Eyes Have Seen You": simple but effective.
The doors: My eyes have seen you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6s6IYmo24I#)
-
Harry Nilsson's, Jump Into The Fire had a strong bass riff. Sounds like they were really letting loose that day! Alittle research brought up Herbie Flowers as the bass player and Klaus Voorman playing rythm guitar.

I just have their debut album Pickin' Up The Pieces (1969). I'm not a big fan of Country Rock, but it's still an entertaining record.

I agree. If it's good I'll listen. Theres a lot of energy in Poco.
