What earworm songs are burrowing through your head today?

I have to feel this is Geddy's legacy, and also Entwhistle's, the idea that the bass actually provides the meat of the song. Geddy's Jazz bass, and Ox's Alembic, are known for their "growl" rather than their "thump". It does mean there is less groove available.

I don't know what Chris Squire played, but I'd count him in that. Probably "most likely that if you're whistling the song, you're whistling the bass part"
