Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side. I want to be able to make out both bass tracks and it needs to have enough substance.
Wipers - Is This Real 12". Balance of attack and weight. Works great for setting VTA.
Disfear - Phantom.

I like it and not only as a bass test!
My ultimate bass test is "Kromestar: They're just dreams". Your neighbors will hate it.
Seymour's "Empty streets" isn't bad either.
"Location Earth" is a good starting point, then we have something in common. I hope for you that it isn't the part of the Earth that is presently more water than earth.
Thanks for the good reference.

Beyonce - Yonce sweeps down to 30hz
Kanye West - Monster rarefies the air in such a way it feels like a slight breeze or draft is in the room. I would be surprised if he even knew that was happening.
Pink Floyd - Time 5.1 SACD. at times the bass moves the hair on ones arms.
Billie Eilish - Different tracks. The bass sometimes has a deliberate distortion that's hard to take at first or ever but it shakes the whole house. I think its designed that way.

I found that track being used by Harbeth to define "how much power do you really need" An interesting watch IMO.

An exaggeration... but thanks! It seems that bass is perceived in a different way depended on the audio system and especially speakers. It makes sense. Here's another one that feels very punchy in my system
Lhasa - My name: YouTube
And for the days, Peter Gabriel - Passion: YouTube
especially #9. "Troubled" and #19. "Disturbed"
While speaking of Massive Attack 'MEZZANINE' & '100TH WINDOW' are loaded with deep bass and busy arrangements ( the duo of electronic and 5string on Angel if you hear them clearly is a good indication you have 'good' sub rendering').
Great to test your system.
This one is interesting too:
YouTube
This too for the 'quality' of the bass ( this stand for most 'Chain reaction' productions Porter Rick's 'biokinetik' first):
YouTube
If you can wistand it this is a good torture test ( as most albums produced by the guy since 'gyral'):

with thanks to member Snakeoilphile who mentioned this in an older thread on bass testing...
My main system is down for tweaking so I've only got the headphone amp + phones - will be interesting to listen to some of these when I get the speakers powered up again.

If you want to tickle woofers, obviously, don't use youtube, use highres...
