Best ones: Something, Old Bown Shoe (yes, two Harrisongs ! - Macca could contribute enormously to his fellow Beatle tunes !), Getting Better, With a Little Help from My Friends, and.....Come Together !

Yeah I agree on "Something". There's never been a better bass line, so melodic and creative on any song !!!!

Another fantastic baseline from the Macca man is on a song by Elvis Costello (album "Spike"), the first. I think it's "This Town". Macca used to great effect the Rickenbacker bass !!

Yeah ! But I think Macca's bass meanders more exquisitely on "This Town", though....
