I always thought the basslines on Fairy Feller's Masterstroke were pretty sweet...
I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye
I love the basslines on AOBTD, and Crazy little thing called love ^^
"Mother Mercury, look what they've done to me"

Hmm,
- Crazy Little Thing is a nice one to play. Looks quite complicated at first but as soon as you get it down t'is cool.
- Dragon Attack is a brilliant excersize for strengthening your left hand and increasing your right hand speed. Hurts like hell though ;)
- Breakthrough is another good one for working on technique & there's a bass solo in it.
- Another One Bites the Dust, dunno about other bassists - it looks quite easy but that 3-4-5-5-3 bit's kinda tricky to get right.
- Bicycle Race. Great on to play but the timing does my head in.
- Bohemian Rhapsody: headbanging at 20 paces :)
Others include: These are the Days, Sleeping on the Sidewalk, '39, You're My Best Friend...

Honestly, there aren't really any 'bad' basslines in Queen. The majority of them are pretty varied, they're fun to play & sound great.

Deaky rules :)
I love the bass solo in Liar.
Well here's my counter-offer... do I have to kill you? What if I were just to kick the ever loving shit out of you?
invisible man the main riff is synth so is the main bass riff on breakthru.
there are john deacon bass lines on these songs too
we've no ancestral halls, no haughty portraits on our walls, no family monuments at all, unless it's my cousin sheila's stupendous clevage.
I'll echo other's sentiments in regards to Millionaire's Waltz.

That's some fancy playing of John's there!
Killer Queen
Play The Game
We Are The Champions
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
another 1 bites the dust
somebody to love
bycle race - one of johns hardest

Go, Go, Go, little queenie!!
Millionnaire Waltz.
Feed the Phoenix :)
How could I forget Under Pressure? It's so obviuous.
