Music out there with good bass

Mjfvashon, if you like Yello, you have to get a copy of either The Eye or Motion Picture. It's a must. I agee with you about Modern Cool. Have you tried "Verse"? It sounds even better...

Soul Vaccination - Tower of Power Live (Good Live bass)
Hommage to Duke - Dave Grusin - (entire album has lots of bass)
Thriller - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Oh Mercy - Bob Dylan - Man in the Long Black Cold (a lot of texture to the bass here)
Another Postcard - Barenaked Ladies
Hotel California - Eagles (Hell Freezes Over album, bass is bit over done on this mix)
Elegantly Wasted - INXS (remarkably clear bass)
Sad Old Red - Simply Red
Bizarre Fruit - M People (particularly the live tracks)
This is your Land - Simple Minds - When two World's collide(much of the later Simple minds is bass heavy and well recorded)
Mystic Rhythms - Rush (Power Windows album)

"Shake Your Rump" by the Beastie Boys. And the resolution is pretty darn good too.

the great jazz trio

Marcus Miller - Tales. Great jazz bass player. I tune my system w/ this cd. Has a cameo by Me'Shell N'degoCello (I may have butchered that spelling but it is a tough one.)
