Live life to the full!
Being a bassist I can appreciatte what John did

Intro to Millionaire Waltz is good
The whole of the Show Must On is great bass playing
Jealousy is good from a playing point of view
Under Pressure is one of the best bass lines ever written
The Miracle is a great bass part to play

John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
I'm a bass player too! I like to hear and play:

"A kind of magic"
"Another one bites the dust"
"Rain must fall"
"Too much love will kill you"
"Don't try suicide"
"Crazy litle thing called love"

And so many more!

All the best!
"There can be only one!"
For me,Another one bites the dust and Under Pressure tops them all.
When The Power Of Love Overcomes The Love Of Power,The World Will Know Peace
I always loved the ascending bass line in 'Liar', personally.
The bass parts for Crazy Little Thing, '39 (though is on acoustic bass) and Leroy Brown are amazing.

I'd put them at the top of my list.
Anything that sounds bluesy I like. Breakthru, Bring back that Leroy Brown, Crazy Little Thing Called Love..in fact most songs where Deaky is playing I like.

A Kind Of Magic
And as the seasons turn the days to years She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers The days grow lonely for the dancing Queen And now she dances only in her dreams...
Oh yeah, It's a Kind of Magic, The Miracle and We are the Champions.
...this kettle is boiling over... ...one dump...one turd...two tits...John Deacon... ...one prawn...one shrimp...one clam...one chicken!
Liar, My Melancholy Blues, WWRY (fast)
Man Made Paradise
And another one - Man on the Prowl...awesome bass line.

Edit: And another - The Fair Fellers Master Stroke.
