Music out there with good bass

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.)

the great jazz trio

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

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)

I AM NOT A BASS FREAK I JUST LIKE A GOOD STRONG BEAT TO THE MUSIC. I JUST BOUGHT IN THE FLESH BY RODGER WATERS AND WAS UPSET ON THE WEAK BASS IN THE RECORDING. PINK FLOYD TUNES SHOULD HAVE A GOOD BASS RESPONCE. I HAVE SUMMIT SPEAKERS AND I KNOW I GET FULL RANGE OUT OF THEM.

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...

Felix Hell (classical organ)
Pole 2
Future Sound of London (Dead Cities)

I'll second the Yello. I have Yello's "One Second", and Yello's "Essential Yello". These are very well recorded and are pure pleasure to listen to. They will really put your system through it's paces and if your system can do it well you'll find they are difficult to take off the play list.
Patricia Barber's "Modern Cool" has some really outstanding accoustic bass lines on it. I really like this disc as well.

If you're a real bass freak, you must have a listen to Yello. Their two last cds ("Motion Picture" and "The Eye") display tremendous qualities in terms of production. The bass is deep, sharp, generous. Pure thrill.
