CREAM - Sunshine of Your Love!!!!

Sunshine of Your Love, definitely. Also:

Deep Purple's Into The Fire. Glover played it on a Mustang.

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise.

Beach Boys (Carol Kaye) - Good Vibrations.

One of my faves is Moby Dick. More associated with Bonham than JPJ for obvious reasons but what a great bass riff.

[Pilgrim]

James Gang: Funk #49!!
