The bassline of Longview is uber fun and When I Come Around is uber satisfying. Con

I second that about Longview. Con

Warning's bassline is really fun too. As are quite a few Clash songs (Guns of Brixton, (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais, and Police and Thieves to name a few).

Guitar-wise... I definetely agree with everyone above, classic rock licks are insanely fun to play. My favorite to play is the riff at the begining of I Will Dare by the Replacements. (... though most of the population don't even know who they are.)
