China Crisis had a few good ones:
"No More Blue Horizons (Fool, Fool, Fool)"
"African and White"
"Some People I Know to Lead Fantastic Lives"
"Working with Fire and Steel"
"Tragedy and Mystery"

...and probably others I can't remember.

One of the best basslines ever. Fact.

Totally agree about Mick Karn.

[Quite Life]

Just a few more

Lords of the New Church--Dance with Me
Grandmaster Flash--White Lines
PIL--Public Image
U2--Two Hearts Beat as One

[neworder]

Two that spring to mind for me are:

Don't you want me by the Human League- the whole world was humming along to the synth bass line when this came out.

Age of Consent by New Order- one of the greatet basslines from the best bassist in New Wave.
