I need some songs with some Bass!
 

Basically, I got some new speakers that have some killer bass.

I want some songs to go with them, and I need some suggestions. I have tons of CD's so I can use as many songs as possible. Thanks!

There was a short fad known as 'Miami Bass' in the late 80's - early 90's. The 2-live-crew were probably the most succesful group to emerge from it.

Some truly awful tunes that were practically un-playable on your average sound system but it should give your new speakers a good workout.

I remember the Dr.Dre song "Ackrite" having some pretty thunderous bass beats.

I'd bet Primus would also sound pretty cool.

I would also try the song by Underworld called "Born Slippy." Those are mighty beats in that song, I tell you what.

Tool - Schism has nice bass in it... NOFX - The Decline has great bass in parts... a lot of RHCP songs...

I'm talking about basslines as in the actual instrument btw

Hmm, I was thinking Tool too, but that DaDump DaDUMp at the beginning of Sober was what sprang to mind for me. Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way, or pretty much anything where Flea just goes Berserk. Primus - The Antipop. Some of Yes has some good Bass work, Siberian Khatru, frinstance, but you'r looking for more sustained.

Aha! 7 Nation Army! That's the song you want. (By the White Stripes or the Strokes or one of those semi-androgynous punk wannabes that, to their credit, occasionally put out some excellent music.)

Other things you might want to try:
Parliament/Funkadelic Live (Earth Tour)
About half of Cake's songs have great funk Bass grooves that you really don't notice because everyone's busy trying to figure out what to make of the music overall. Talking Heads are like that to a lesser degree.

Pink Floyd. An ego like Roger Waters attached tio a Bass? You're going to hear it. Same deal with Rush, but less ego and more instrumental talent.

OOOOH ADDITION:

Bad Brains - The Regulator

Just for that background riff, it kicks ALL KINDS of ass

Enon - "Rubber Car"

and on a serious note -

Anything by Photek, Grooverider, Goldie, etc.

Pink Floyd - One of These Days.
Outkast - I like the Way You Move (awesome bass)
Metallica - Anesthesia (Cliff's Bass instrumental is amazing)
LeTigre - Cars That Go Boom! (Oldie, but a goodie)

Drum n Bass 2000 by Squarepusher is really good

Anything by Mac Mall, Celly Cell, or Brother Lynch.

All somewhat underground gangsta rap. The lyrics are shit but the beats and hooks are unbelievable.

Bliss - Sleep Will Come

Cafe Del Mar Dreams Volume 3 cd..

Search for Ultimate Bass Test. It will test your speakers.

The Who- Boris the Spider
Rush-somebody help me with this one, it's the last song on "A farewell to kings"

"Flatbeat" is a real bass song.

Incubus - SCIENCE has a lot of low frequency info on it. Track 3 "New Skin" springs to mind.

Lots of kickdrum in... Metallica - Stone Cold Crazy, Battery (live S&M), Rush - The Rythym Method, Jeff Beck - Guitar Shop.

Music Instructor - Flying Steps (brainbug remix)

good for bass and treble

Queensryche - Jet City Woman
Queen w/ David Bowie - Under Pressure

(trust me on this one)

King Crimson - Sleepless. Tony just goes ballistic on Stick.

A great song for bass is Stp - sex type thing

All depends on what type of bass you are looking for...Try downloading Techmaster PEB:Ultimate Subwoofer Test if you really want to put your speakers their paces. If you just want to see what they can do, you may try generating your own test sweep from say 10 Hz through 200 Hz. If you don't know how to generate one, I am sure you could find one on the internet somewhere.

Silverchair - Isreal's Son

Lightning Bolt is pretty fun...but if you go to see them, for the love of god wear earplugs. They damn near blew my ears out.

Liars are pretty bass-y, and they have a new album coming out soon.

Flaming Lips - "One More Robot"

Chemical Brothers - Bass Test

Pure Tone - Addicted To Bass

try Bass Mekanic, they have some major bass, plus some of their song are designed to tune speakers
