    This is not my kind of music but it has really great bass and every now and then I put it on. My daughter had the original cd and this one song sounded so good, I decided to burn it. Here goes, Destiny's Child - Bootylicious. This song has my Paradigm PW-2200 sub absolutely freakin out. If you have subs in your car, this song will hit hard.

    I don't think much of what I listen to really qualifies for this list, and that which is bassy enough would probably sound horribly out of place :lol:

    Here is a link that has mixes already and you also can create a custom cd too.
    http://www.pandisc.com/homepage.cfm
    These cds have Mega Bass and all come with a Mega Bass Warning Clause.
    I have the Maximun Boom CD Volume 2 http://www.pandisc.com/catquery.cfm?productID=PD-8922 and when I want to impress my friends with a ton of bass I throw it on.
    As I said these CD's have Maximum Gut Wrenching BOOM so you better have a healthy subwoofer or it will blow the cone right out of the basket.

    From that same Crystal Method album, you should give "High Roller" a spin. Massive bass that creates a lot of movement on my subwoofer, and pumps a lot of air through the ports whenever I direct all of the lows into my main speakers.

    You should also sample Crystal Method's Legion of Boom album. I know that a lot of bass is present on the 5.1 mix, but that could be because the 5.1 version has a separate LFE track, and I don't recall how much bass was on the two-channel track.

    A lot of bass on the DTS mix, but the DVD-A tracks make you question why it's called the "Legion of Boom" :(

    The "Changes" band on DJ Rap's Learning Curve album. Unbelievable subterranean bass! I've heard it on a reviewer friend's Nola Grand Exotica system with the woofers driven by Krell amps and the mains by a pair of VTL Wotans. BTW, DJ Rap is a rather attractive British lass. ;)

    Well the following wont "hit" hard but will give ANY system regardless of price a workout. Its a CD that can get my DIVA to struggle a bit at high levels.

    The Michael Woodward Series- Ian Tracey Plays Organ Transcriptions and French Romantic Music on The Henry Willis III Grand Organ of Liverpool Cathedral- Lamento (Douze Pieces).....amongst others.

    Interesting, because the DTS track is what I've been listening to (I don't have a DVD-A player, just SACD). If there is a mismatch in the bass levels between the DVD-A and DTS tracks, it could be because the LFE track in the DTS mix is 10 db higher. The early DTS processors required that you boost the LFE level by 10 db in order to match the Dolby Digital levels on nearly all movie DVDs. But, with the early DTS music discs, you'd have to lower the LFE level by 10 db to the default level.

    I thought that DTS had taken care of this with their more recent releases (I've not had to lower the LFE levels on DTS Entertainment's Blue Man Group and Porcupine Tree releases), but that might explain the mismatch that you're hearing. In this case, it sounds like either the DTS track's LFE is 10 db too high, or the DVD-A LFE is 10 db too low. Try boosting the DVD-A's LFE level by 10 db and see if it equalizes with the DTS track.

    YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I love this kid's taste, except for Tech N9ne.... I really hope you dont download their stuff, it's bad enough that most of them can barely afford time in studio.

    Anything produced by Stoupe from Jedi Mind Tricks are worth checking out.
    Zion I - Trippin
    CMA fea. Del - Tactics. Heavy stuff
    Roger Waters - Three Wishes.

    Anything produced by EL-P

    I haven't gotten a pandisc record in years, but I always liked them because unlike alot of Bass records, it was still actually good music too.

    Pandisc is definately the way to go.

    I was going to point out High Roller to the original poster too, but then I thought better. I thought if he has the CD and still hasn't found High Roller, then he is just lazy. If he is just downloading random Crystal Method songs of Napster, then... well... he is hopeless. :D

    All kidding aside, High Roller is my bass workout track. I keep it in my truck just to piss people off at stop lights. :D Plus that whole record never has worn out on me.

    "The Package" by A Perfect Circle on Thirteenth Step. It's a rock song, but the bass is more intense than any hip hop song I've heard. It's the type of bass that makes you feel like you have a fat woman standing on your chest.

    I've had complaints from neighbours after playing this song :)

    First....I've noticed a lack of bass when comparing the MLP to DTS on DVD-Audio discs....a few examples would be Queen's THE GAME and a song like DRAGON ATTACK has great bass....so that's one example to check out for bass when it comes to multichannel....there are several others including the Crystal Method LEGION OF BOOM DVD-A already mentioned.

    There are also a few surprising songs with some really sweet bass (I am assuming that we are looking for songs that have low-end, not necessarily good bass-lines as in Jaco Pastorious)...not songs that you might expect or artists you might expect. Those being...

    Sarah McLachlan's I LOVE YOU (bass entirely through at really low frequencies)
    The Cranberries THE CONCEPT (awesome bass beat)
    Alan Parsons Project TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION (entire album)
    Stevie Wonder's SUPERSTITION and HIGHER GROUND (nice beats)
    Sigur Ros (track # 2 from the album () ) (superb low end throughout)
    The Flaming Lips A SPOONFUL WEIGHS A TON (bass hit)
    Kenny Wayne Shepherd EVERYTIME IT RAINS (deep bass)
    Jewel INNOCENCE MAINTAINED (really deep bass)


    Ok, now here is a really really really REALLY great song for everyone to check out that is the PERFECT demo for your system. The reason why is because #1 it's melodic in both high end and low end frequencies #2 there are no vocals, so this is purely an instrumental track to help calibrate your gear and #3 it's obscure, but very catchy.

    The song is called MESSAGE TO CROMMIE by Planet 4 Folk Quartet

    DTS isnt using the BM from the player but from the receiver which almost always has better bm. Also some receivers have a seperate setting for DTS other then normal bm, for more or less lfe. A good way to hear the differenmce is listen to a dts disc through the analogs and then switch to the dig. Night and day as far as bass on my setup.

    sence you mention crystal method I'd say the song PHD from tweekend has a bit more going for it in the bass dept than high roller. Though it may not be as deep it just dosen't stop. Play that at a red light and see what the motorists think. I could go on and on about NIN songs with amazing bass but theres too many.

    Here are a few songs from us old folk.

    Hell Freeze's Over CD and "Hotel California".

    Most of the Pink Floyd Albums.

    DePeche Mode has some deep synth and organs on "Violator" and "Songs of Faith and Devotion".

    And believer it or not, I was in random play the other day and found some of the Madonna albums with some pretty low frequency material.

    I knew there were a few holes in my music collection and I was wondering what AC/DC album you would recommend? A greatest hits album maybe?

    Any recommendations on Black Sabbath would also be appreciated.

    The AC/DC I would go with is Back in Black. IMO it was their best. I am not familiar with their greatest hits albums to know how good they are. Albums huh? You got us both showing our ages. What, no 8-tracks?

    I loved the Heaven & Hell tour, & album, from Black Sabbath. This is the one with Ronnie James Dio as the singer. (Also good for base) It was the "Black & Blue" tour with B.O.C. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was good. And the classic - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll. You almost can't go wrong with any of them. Here's a good link. http://www.black-sabbath.com/discog/sabbathpick.html

    Most of Ozzy's albums were also very good.

    In matter of fact, I do have a shoe box full of eight tracks that I can not bring myself to get rid of. My wife's 69 Olds 442 had an eight track that I spent many an hour working on to get it to work again. We sold it for a good chunk of change but we both miss the old girl. Now that I have a house, I may have to talk the wife into building another hot rod after the home remodel is complete.

    I still have a working 8-track recorder at home. It does garage duty.

    A 69 442 huh? Nice classic. Must have been like selling off your first born. I know the feeling. I just sold my Harley to help pay for the extras we are putting in our house. So if my wife starts complaining that I'm riding the quarts counter tops, everyone should know why.
