Also Queen’s “We will rock you” has a beat from the beginning  ., and may be Eminem - without me is a good track too.

Try 'Mirrorball' by Elbow from the album Seldom seen Kid. When the bass drum kicks in - really gives your bass cones a pounding!

Sorry, too many replies. iPad playing up after recent update. Didn't appear initially on posting.

When I visit a studio and want to hear what the low end is like in the control room, I usually use:

• Guillermo Klein - Va Roman (!!! big, wide, smooth and deep bass covering lots of frequencies)
• Stevie Wonder - Bird of Beauty (modern remaster, deep and busy, shouldn't sound sloppy)
• Elis & Tom - Aguas De Marco (should sound bass light, but not unmusically so, some pretty deep notes on occasion too)
• Björk - Venus as a Boy (that bass drum should be incredibly tight and 'short' sounding)
• Suzanne Vega - Headshots (off Nine Objects of Desire - again, huge thunderous bassline and a tight, textured bass drum sound, one of Tchad Blake's best mixes IMO)
• Something I've mixed but I can't tell you what it is because it's not out yet. 🤒

I listen at all levels, from super-quiet up to really quite high volumes, sometimes I'll chuck on something off Leftism and really crank it to see what the headroom is like.

Deep and impressive bass should only be there when it's called for in the recording. I get so fed up of 'hearing' the bass when it shouldn't be there. BeoLab 5 owners will know what I mean - once you get used to tight, accurate bass there really is no going back.

I still love Hella Good by No Doubt

Having spend yeeeaaars with two kids, who listened to a lot of 'bassy' rap stuff (often really loud - so I told them), I must confess, that I am more into this kind of music:
