Any song that uses bass pedals is always good for deep clean rattling bass. :D

I didn't think of this one until hearing it on the drive home last night.
"Emenance Front" by The Who.

As a Floyd fan, an obvious choice...

"The Best Years of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2" from The Wall. Between the helicopter and the Waters-Mason rhythm section, your system will get quite a workout. "Run Like Hell/Waiting For the Worms" would work well, too.

Try the band SLAVE featuring Steve Arrington, track called Slide.

Dave Grusin, CD called Mountain Dance, track called Friends and Strangers.

Lowdown by Boz Scaggs, Silk Degrees CD.

Tin Man by America.

These are all great bass tracks.

Oh and Jaco Pastorius, don't forget Jaco he's The Man!

If you you like Marcus, he plays often with Dave Sanborn.

Donald Fagan's "Kamakiriad" is loaded with good, clean bass tracks. Of course, would one expect any less from 1/2 Steely Dan? :D

Also, anything with Tony Levin playing the "Stick", most notably on Peter Gabriel's "So"

How could I forget!!! There are tracks from Kamikiriad available (Amazon)that only feature bass, drums and vocals--I believe SNOWBOUND is one, I can't remember the other, I have them, they're just packed away for the moment as I get organized.:eek:

I dont mean songs that test the bass of your sub or "bass testers" I mean some songs that have really good nice clean bass.?.....
How about Morph the Cat by Donald Fagen. It's not exactly a virtuoso bass disc, but the bottom is so prominent and hugely clean. It's a speaker and amp test but also just good music with a huge bottom.

Check out the intro to "right and wrong" on joe jackson's "big world" cd. Crancked on a good system you'll hear the strings "growl" as rick ford sets the pace. I know steely dan's been mentioned, but both "aja" and "gaucho" are outstanding for tight bass, as is "everything must go".

Anything played by John Entwhistle of The Who, especially My Generation & The Real Me.

Gerhard Oppelt - Lindenkirche Berlin

This is an organ song, but the bass will blow out your ear hole.

I don't know if it exists outside of the Burmester Reference CD II.

Nine Inch Nails - Things Falling Apart - Where Is Everybody (Remix By Lohner & Telefon Tel Aviv)

Had this song pushing the envelope of my receiver I think the Focal's still had some life in them though. But it was shaking the hell out of my floor and pretty much everything else. Most awesome, but not In-Your-Face bass more subdued, but in your face enough. A very dynamic track watch the volume the first time 'round or you might be sorry!

There are so many this just comes to mind.

heres another Matisyahu

Dono

:edit: Just threw The above NIN track on and if your mids are up to it they will get a hell of a workout with this song. Really great full spectrum from WAY down to screaming high. This is a remix although the original is awesome as well this track is just produced better and sounds so frickin awesome. Don't forget the bong first.:cool:
