If I can cheekily pick a *bass* guitar riff
Trick of the Light, by The Who

If not, one of Pictures of Home by Deep Purple, Master of the Universe by Hawkwind or, actually a surprisingly strong contender: Smokestack Lightning by Howlin' Wolf.

The Who depress me
I love Quadrophenia, but I prefer Dimples and Louie Louie to The Who's actual stuff. Some of it works, but mostly it makes my soul grow dim.

Really?
Admittedly Quadrophenia has some of their more depressing songs on it, but The Who have never been a band I've thought of as particularly gloomy - angry and a bit loud, but not depressing.

Yeah
nothing depressing to them. Although the slower type songs are a pain in the arse - I don't think Daltry's voice is that suited to the sentimental songs. I prefer the hard-rocking early albums type My Generation or Substitute.
