Bass guitar driven music - Also just good bass guitar in general

EDIT: I have no idea why I'd suggest Kiss of Death instead of this.

 

[Positron]

Earlier on, Jah Wobble can be relied on his bouncing bassline:

Lately he seems less keen on using his bass.

haha, i used to be a really big Primus fan (as name might suggest) but haven't really listened to them at all the past few years.

Mike Watt is probably my favorite bassist.

followed by Rob Wright.

I might as well post this in the Jazz thread, but this piece "Salt Road" by Enzo Favata and inspired by Ethopian folk music, has a really seductive bass line:

 

[Positron]

In this piece "Nikriz", Hassan Erraji fits Turkish tradition music into the 4/4 rhythm and repetitive phrasings of western pop music. This is a sure recipe for kitsch, but the bass line is still delectable.

Not really bass driven but bass related....

Gov. Mike Huckabee playing bass with Head from Korn last month.

 

[Shaved Kiwis]

Rage Against the Machine tends to have really in your face bass playing:

 

[ee.zdoom]

longview by green day has one of the most addictive bassline ive ever heard, would love to learn it one day

 

[StevieLasVegas]

If you're into metal, Overkill I find has some of the best bass work that doesn't get lost in the mix. D.D. Verni is a beast and one of my inspirations

 

[Islamic Creampie]

Joey Demaio is a very creative bassist when he's not being a lazy fuck.

 

[Inventor of the Telephone]

Don't fret.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

so no one likes Motörhead ...

Wow, sounds like Korn if the bass wasn't just midrange-deprived clicky noises.
As for bass-driven music, anything involving Dominic "Forest" LaPointe counts, I guess.
Especially his work in the power trio Teramobil:

And I guess Spasm counts since they don't have any guitars, only bass.

Your definition of 'music' might vary to mine, but if your mind is open to some really grimy experimental metal, I'd recommend Palehorse. They split some years ago and were only ever really known among the British underground, but I always thought they were tragically underrated. Two basses, no guitars, very nasty!
