What song(s) have opening bass lines so good they deserve to be saved and preserved forever?
Heart of the Sunrise - Chris Squire (Yes)
After that opening flurry he and Bruford lock into a wonderful groove that keeps ascending, resolving into that flurry and Anderson's calming vocals. Virtuoso songwriting and performance!
Thank you, thats a new one for us.
Another Squire/Yes opening bass riff is "Does It Really Happen?" from their Drama album:

That’s actually the E string on a guitar, not a bass.
The bass player in our household had that one on constant repeat for a while!
