I also love playing
Play the Game and Somebody To Love. Radio Ga Ga has an awesome bass line too but it may be played on synth. I'm not sure.

I love the bass line in Fat Bottomed Girls :) That's my favorite.
Markaw, Queen did admit that AOBTD was a kind of tribute to Chic, who revolutionised funk and dance music in the late 70s/early 80s and were the hottest production team of the era.
But IMO, the bassline is not the obvious Chic reference but the funky rhythm guitar that comes in just after 3 minutes, which is so Nile Rodgers sounding I can't believe it was played by Brian May. Maybe it wasn't!
BTW, it's funny David Bowie was involved in two records that have have some of the most famous basslines ever: Under Pressure (which some people say he came up with and not John), and Lou Reed's Walk On The Wildside, which he produced.

Don't Try Suicide.
I agree with all the above. Plus I really like the end of Sail Away Sweet Sister. The tone of John's bass is so warm and eery.
Stop shouting!!!
And all you had to do was say 'All of them' not

I once heard John played most of the guitar stuff on Bites the Dust... and some other things too. He was a good rhythm guitarist as well, besides being a great bass player.
staying power and hmm well.. cool cat... it's simple but i like the way it sounds at some moments... i love listening to bass guitar as i always wanted to play one and i sometimes pick note or two that.. just has this "something"... i cannot explain it neither in polish, nor in english ;)
I'm sorry, but there's no bass on Staying Power. It's only synth. I know cos' I'm a bass player myself.
