Top Minneapolis sound basslines?

Which 5 to 10 tracks by P or P-related acts have the funkiest, thumpiest basslines?

μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

First one comes to mind in 777-9311. YOu could strip away all the other instruments and I could just listen to this bass line for 20 minutes.

Oh WOW.

The one thing I'd like back in Prince's music.

His style was unique... and all them Grace notes. Spicy Grease, no doubt.

"Let's Work"
"777-9311"
"Head"
"DMSR"
"Sexy Dancer"

All that are mentioned already of course but If A Girl Answers (Dont Hang Up) is very underrated.

That's such a jam music wise.

ernestsewell	I'm surprised no one has mentioned "La La La, He He Hee", and "Pop Life". I'll also add "777-9311", "Housequake", "Exodus", "Now", "Days of Wild".

ernestsewell	I forgot one. "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" INFECTIOUS, and apparently so good, Prince decided to cover it himself on the Nude Tour.
