For great pop and rock bass playing, try the following bands (bass player):
Yes (Chris Squire)
Rush (Geddy Lee)
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (Greg Lake)
Renaissance (Jon Camp)

The last, especially, may work surprisingly well for both of you. (Or it may
work ONLY for you, and not for her!) The best album to start with is "Live
at Carnegie Hall" - it's available on Amazon and should be available many
other places, though may be scarce at your local CD store. Then, look into
the other albums:

Renaissance
Ashes are Burning
Turn of the Cards
Scheherezade and Other Stories
Novella
Song for All Seasons
Azure D'Or

I'm sure Mark can suggest other bands as well.
