Suggestions for albums where you can really hear the bass

Not really looking for bass instrumentalists... but bands/albums where the bass isn't hidden in the mix... any genre...

Two examples from me:

Prince - Dirty Mind
Police - Regatta de Blanc

Anxiety

just about any talking heads album. if you focus your attention on the bass, tina weymouth sounds like she's in her own world but it works perfectly.

so true, add Norma Jean, the two Sister Sledge albums, Diana and King Of The World to that...

don't like their after-1981 stuff, when drum-machines and synth basses came in, the Chic concept dragged out.

"Standing in the shadows of Motown deluxe edition".

Disc 2 is fricken awesome as you get to hear remixes of original classic motown material featuring probably the most influential player in popular music history, James Jamerson. They are the original recordings remixed (no added production) as instrumentals. Often they will break it down to just the drums and bass or even just the bass at times and you get to hear his subtleties in all their glory.

I realise you mentioned you're not looking for instrumentals but this really is a must have for any bass enthusiast!
