I give you
1. Swing, Japan. Mick Karn was the fretless king.
2. Boy in the bubble, Paul Simon (was it Bakithi Kumalo on bass?)
Beat that

Karn & Pallandino were great for this sound, when it was 'in' back in the 80's.
On a slighlty different level, Phil Thornalley's double bass on The Love Cats is a wonderful piece of fretless playing...

None - the fretless bass is an abomination.

Death had some insane fretless bass lines.
Death - The Philosopher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_cn9TVSi2o
The base line that kicks in at 1-16 is fantastic.
And on a slightly different and less heavy note, Bionic Jive - Pump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKbtSvBGICI nice rap/rock track with fretless bass.

I've always found the fretless bass to be the instrument of cunts!

The Associates. Good shout on wherever I lay my hat. Not a particular fan of that song, but a nice bit of fretless bassing nonetheless

Mick Karn is a given
