Most astonishing deep bass impact on your rock records???

Every Night - Paul MCartney

 

Bela Lugosi Is Dead

 

At around 1:40 and again around 2:24, especially on the MOFI CD:

 

Any Free album. Astonishing bass playing by Andy Fraser. If you don't have any, I would start with their second album from October of 1969 entitled 'Free'

 

PIL's Metal Box in the original format (12" 45 rpm vinyl).

 

Plugging these bad boys in did the Biz.

 

if you're testing a sub, the best thing is the first lord of the rings movie, during the opening sequence when sauron gets his fingers cut off and implodes.

 

If you mention Appice than it is a must to mention Tim Bogert, both on Vanilla Fudge - real furniture movers
Pastorius on Joni Mitchell's Don Juan's Reckless Daughter beginning with the Overture - earthqwake

 

Led Zeppelin - II solid work from John Paul Jones throughout

 

Rick Wakeman - Merlin the Magician from the album Myths and Legends. The bass absolutely rattles the walls, or at least it did on the original vinyl.

 

As far as rock recordings go, I've always found that the sound of Macca's bass in Band on the Run was pretty impressive. The fact that it was recorded in less than ideal conditions probably meant that there wasn't a proper engineer to slice off the lower frequencies...

 

I too was thinking of Susie Cincinnati, but on the 7" 45 RPM single. Also We're All Going To The Same Place by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart.

 

Lots of stuff by or featuring Bill Laswell.
Also most albums by TORTOISE.

 

Chris Squire goes deep in the Wurm section of Starship Trooper.

 

Be fair, 95% of the time, it's the same deal for the previous 3 albums!

 

When me and the Mrs were done installing our a/v system a few years back I thought
I'd test the bass response with U-Roy's 'Dread In A Babylon.' Most of the photos on
the fireplace mantel fell off and two frames actually broke.

 

Eagles Desperado album, especially the tune Doolin Dalton

 

Barry White?

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd Gimme Back My Bullets is a sure candidate

Bad Company Burnin Sky was a crusher

Complete Allman At Fillmore East on original Pink Capricorn label

On a good system it sounds & feels like your on stage with Skydog & the boys

 

Pretty loose with the whole “rock” thing I see.

 

Yeah, that happened about 5 minutes after the thread started.....

 

Heck, I think I broke the rule on the very first post! But I did acknowledge I was breaking it.

Correction: I was actually the 4th post. But close...

 

This is the track I use to test my subwoofer settings.
