Great list man most of these are absolutely legendary on bass ! Would've picked Immigrant Song for LZ and Roundabout for Yes but whatever I understand your choice

Also Id like to recommend Land Phil's Bassline on Sadistic Magician (By Municipal Waste) I love it.

Edit: Oh and also Bleed by Meshuggah and while we're at it... Only Ash Remains by Necrophagist and Mother Man by Atheist. Oh and how about Searching For Celine by Blue Oyster Cult and Dig by Mudvayne

I would have more but I'll stop there
