A friend of ours has a high school son who plays bass. I'd like to make him a sampler of awesome bass playing from bands he may not have heard. If you could pick a few songs that display the best in bass technique (that's easily heard over the other instruments), what would they be? I'm thinking of a few examples of just over-the-top dextrous technique, through a few songs that contain slow, smooth evocative bass lines. What bass playing gives you goosebumps when you hear it?
(Note, I want to include stuff that's also just plain pleasant to listen to, so I probably won't include, oh, say Arsis - I'm leaning more towards mainstream power / prog metal and hard rock.)
