Great song.
Not exactly @Hattigol, my point is that if it does what is required for the song, it is good. Can apply to bass, guitar, drums, keys etc

Agree with what you say about everything working in harmony on the great songs but I was kind of asking people to pick stand-out bass parts - which you can't really do without isolating it at least a little in your head.
Meh....semantics. It's all good.
Obviously there's no definition of what makes a great bassline but generally something that enhances the song but also works as a coherent line in itself.
So, as a well known example The Four Tops with Bernadette which is 1960s pop music. Not heavy muso stuff and you could throw some shapes to it in the dance floor.
and James Jamerson could have approached this with a root fifth type bassline but if you hear the bassline pulled up in the mix then it was almost anything but
so it helps the groove, underlines the melody. Musical intelligence I guess.
