It's the day before Thanksgiving which means it "HOUSE CLEANING DAY" so that tomorrow we can pretend that we live like this all the time. When, in fact, no one lives like this all the time. King Charles doesn't live in a castle this clean.
Now, to the point. Cleaning day also is Rock and Roll day, and it occurs to me as I listen, that songs written by the bass player actually have a decent bass line. (Who'd have thought, eh?) Hat tip to Rush.
In this case, however, I'm listening to "Too Late the Hero" by John Entwistle of The WHO. (Is there a more English name than "Entwistle"?) And leave you with "Sleeping Man".
Any suggestions for songs written by the bass player will be gratefully enjoyed.
Thank you.

Jack Blades played bass and fronted and wrote for Night Ranger and Damn Yankees (Tommy Shaw had a hand in the latter as well).
And… you know… there’s Sting.
Paul McCartney.
Anything Les Claypool. Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy. Indeed, bassists are represented well.

A lot, if not most of Steely Dan tracks were either written or co written by Walter Becker. He performed most of the Bass work on early albums.

Most of Iron Maiden's songs are written by Steve Harris, their bassist.

Entwistle was the first name that came to my mind; Jack Bruce, the second.
