Adam Clayton is probably the most under-rated bassist ever. He's not flashy but everything he plays is perfect for the song.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand." - Homer Simpson
It's a fairly simple bass line but played with such style and tone, I could listen to it all day.
You Might Need Somebody also has that wonderful restrained but soaring guitar solo by Steve Lukather.
Dave Pegg with Tull and Fairport is a bit under rated, playing jigs and reels on bass. Mick Karn and his lovely atmospheric basslines. Colin Hodgkinson of Back Door and many other acts, the Back Door version of 32-20 blues is some bass playing!
There's a long list.
Sabotage by Beastie Boys.
The Cure - Fascination Street
Ride - Leave Them All Behind

Thela Hun Ginjeet - where he spanks a MusicMan rather nicely
Elephant Talk - which is technically a Stick performance, but Tony always played the Stick as a bass rather than a piano, so...
But anything Norman Watt-Roy plays with The Blockheads sounds pretty good to me.
They smelt of pubs
And Wormwood Scrubs
