Inspired by your previous choice, aquariuscsm, I'll take that YCCMA, and raise you Graceland. Bakithi Kumalo's Bass playing is stupendous on the entire album.
Great bass playing in a song

This one is definitely an oddity. A bass guitar solo instead of a lead guitar solo. @.55:

Probably my favorite group of all time

Mine as well. After Moon died though they were never the same again.
The question is best bass and not merely people who play the bass.
Probably one of the best players was Henry Davis playing on Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way".
Listen to the song and then listen again by focusing on the bass.
This is a YouTube link to a bassist playing it and it's a a hard piece to place. The duration, range and the different strings for the entire song.

Moon was awesome!!
The Who is one of the only groups who's entire career I love. Their 60s, 70s, and 80s stuff is all great!!
got this on CD somewhere...gotta go dig it out tonight
My favorite, too.
I had the opportunity to ask Roger Daltrey what he thought about Townshend saying that he wished they'd quit when Moon died. Without hesitation he said "I wish we never had." This was when they'd got back together for a tour in 1989 after being split for five years.
I came across this short Entwistle clip. OMG.

Daltrey and Townshend sure had their differences for a long time there. I seem to recall they have mended those fences.
I also read that they felt that the two albums, It’s Hard and Face Dances should have never been done. They were under pressure from the record company to produce and get on tour. If you listen to those albums they are just not The Who at all. Daltrey and Townshend recorded their parts separately and the studio put it together. I also had a small listen to some of their stuff after that. It was pitiful.
Moon’s death really shook them and when The Ox died they should have disbanded.
( not sure what happened with this comment )
