Case in point: last 90 seconds of "Barbarism Begins at Home": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zNwZomsONA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zNwZomsONA

  The main bass riff of Barbarism Begins at Home is unbelievably catchy, too. Those ghost notes! Marr gets much-deserved credit for his guitar work, but I firmly maintain that some of the Smiths' best tracks basically are their basslines, and Barbarism is a standout example. What a terrible loss....

    "The Queen Is Dead" is another one. I love Marr's more atmospheric work on this track, but Andy Rourke's riff is what's carrying the song. Fantastic bassline.

    Yeah. Bigmouth strikes again also fits that category.
