    The kettle drums? Damn, seems I need bigger speakers. Never had them in the "astonishing" bracket.

    3/4 of Stones EOMS especially Rip This Joint with Wyman slapping the stand up bass

    ZZTop Francene,A Fool For Your Stockings& a RL cut of Eliminator especially Thug

    Not one of their better LPs but the original vinyl of Stones Black and Blue LP has the best recorded drums of any rock album.
    The drums sound as if you were in the studio live with CW

    Nick Masons drums on AMLOR are amazing albeit the Floyds most 80s sounding effort

    Sly Stone Sing A Simple Song drums & bass are bitchin

  8. Cheap Trick - Tom Petersson's 12-string bass is a force of nature. I don't know about their records, but I saw them 20 years ago at an outdoor 4th of July gig, and that bass was vibrating my rib cage like a tuning fork.

    I much prefer the unaccompanied bass pedal solo by Michael Rutherford on "Genesis Live."

  12. King's X - Dogman is pretty heavy in the low frequencies throughout. Damn good album too.

    How about the bass drops in "It Can Happen" by Yes? There's also that great synth bass drop towards the end of the live version of "Ridin' The Storm Out" by REO Speedwagon. When it finally settles on that low sustaining A note, it'll rattle the windows in your vehicle at a healthy volume.

    "Sofa No. 1" on the Ryko CD issue of OSFA had some great low synth sweeps. "Night School" on the JFH album has some extra-low notes too.

    And of course the great Herbie Flowers's bass on Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side and Harry Nilsson's Jump Into The Fire.

    Haven't read through the entire thread but the first thing that came to my mind was my original copy of The Band's self titled album. Couldn't keep the needle in the grooves of that Robert Ludwig cut LP. Phenomenal sound!
     
  16. I recently inadvertently sacrificed the rear passenger-side speaker in my car to that exact piece of music. :) What a way to go though. It was worth it to hear Prince's guitar solo at that volume level, and I would gladly do it again.

    Chris Squire's bass on Fragile, especially the rumbling bass on The Fish.

    Interestingly, he put a warning in the booklet...
    "Before you play this disc loud, make sure your stereo system can handle the powerful Fender
    bass guitar sounds as reproduced on this compact disc."

    I may be wrong, but i recall the bass on Rip This Joint was not Mr. Wyman.

    /edit to ad: I also recall that Nick Mason didnt play a lot on AMLOR either?

    I stand corrected
    It must be Appice drum sound that rattles neighbors walls because it definitely is not Keltners style & come to think of it does sound like Carmine on the majority of good tracks.

    Memory is the first thing to go in old age
    Its Bill Plummer slapping that stand up bass in Rip This Joint

    Anyway those are still some thumping licks
