Whats the best bass (but not chavy) songs to get the most out of my sub?

[Sportrider]

hi guys

i have just searched music in the ice forum and on post came up from last year and i was wondering if it would be good to start a thread with some decent songs and artists that bring out the full potential of your sub.

fire away

Enjoyed this thread this morning as I have got the Bose cans out and been tapping through my iTunes library checking out stuff I used to listen to when I had a real in car hi-fi system rather than the OE kit in the Audi.

Obviously Drum & Bass / Breakbeats tends to stretch a good sub set up further so I've singled a few tracks out under specific headings, but the rest have gone under general. Hopefully if you find 1 or 2 useful things in there its better than nowt.

Many thanks Fester, I like to think I'm leftfield as Audi owners go (no big yellow Breitling, and I drive in the inside lane at the speedlimit!). You can't grow up in Ibiza and not be a music lover - OK may not be to everyones taste, but I thought the tracklist was considered!

Good call on those 2 tracks, we like ;-)

 

[Fl@pper]

way way Waaaay back before kids started group sweating sessions in warehouses us old guys used to like AcDc - Thunderstruck

 

[MarkE]

Massive Attack : Angel
Tricky : Most of the Pre Millennium Tension album

 

[M87NER]

Danity Kane - Show Stopper

 

[Cupra Kev]

Used to love playing Iron Maiden on mine - specifically The Trooper and listening to Harris' bass line thundering along

 

[TallFella]

There's a tune by Ciara I quite like that has a decent bassline, can't for the life of me remember what it's called though - it's one of the first few tracks on the album.

 

[Mattwood]

way way Waaaay back before kids started group sweating sessions in warehouses us old guys used to like AcDc - Thunderstruck

there are some young fellas that don the dirty DC!

personally; zz top; Cheap Sunglasses, pendulum; The Tempest or the entire 'In Silico' album) and Michael Jackson; Beat it.

Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot
Rammsteien - (all )
Down - Stone the Crow

Thats with my rock head on, just listened to Afro on youtube tho - great track - tho i think it was called "crazy rap"

yea im with Mattwood, just buy In Silico by Pendulum and all the songs on there will do the trick, especially the first!!

 

[CJRamze]

Invaders must Die (The album)
and Cypress Hill - Valley of Chrome

Infact Cypress hill are very good, they use alot of subtle bass underlying bass lines within their already bass heavy tracks.

Infact the whole Cypress-Hill - Skull and bones album is awesome.

What about Hip Hop by Dead Prez

 

[diss_50]

Bassotronics - Bass, I Love You. (VERY BASSY)

This is a great tune to test your full setup - Sound amazing with Comps, Tweeters and a decent Sub.

 

[Cupra Kev]

Currently listening to Nicky Blackmarket with Stevie Hyper D @ Roast 95 and quite bassy (if off a not brilliant quality recording) on my office machine with sub

 

[CJRamze]

What about Hip Hop by Dead Prez

Seconded, this is perfect.

sounds **** with a sub in a sealed enclosure though as its a song with some lowwwws! Awesome with a ported box.

 

[DMC1987]

also theres Bass Test by Chemical Brothers, always useful for...bass testing

 

[suj]
