^ It is a spectacular record, in many ways classic prog's greatest late-stage release.

Yes, I love that thumping bass-line from Chris Squire on City of Love.

ELO - Last Train To London. Yep it's 'Disco-very' but Disco usually had the best bass lines as well all know!

The studio track that may be a perfect introduction to progressive jazz-rock is Stanley Clarke's composition Vulcan Worlds (ft. Return to Forever) from 1974; this fantastic piece features complex time signatures, intricate instrumental passages, and a dynamic range of emotions. It also has an incredible bass line that drives the track forward, making it an excellent representation of the genre's ability to create tension and release.

I've always loved this track specifically because of the bass:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

John Myung's bass line is amazing throughout this entire epic song.
